cmp-buffer VS LuaSnip

sources = cmp.config.sources({ { name = "nvim_lsp", priority = 1, group_index = 1 }, { name = "luasnip" }, { group_index = 2, name = "buffer", priority = 5, option = { -- https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-buffer get_bufnrs = function() return vim.api.nvim_list_bufs() end, }, }, { name = "nvim_lsp_signature_help" }, { name = "path" }, }),

cmp-buffer: Completion source. It provides suggestions based on the current file.

Then what is the purpose of using cmp-buffer?

Okay I sat down and did exactly what I said in my previous comment. Essentially it's a complete rewrite of my old code that makes things much more generic and flexible. You can take a look at the PR here: https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-buffer/pull/60.

Good work but can you tell how is it different from https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-buffer

hrsh7th/cmp-buffer - nvim-cmp source for buffer words

cmp-buffer

nvim-cmp is just the autocompletion engine w/ fuzzy matching and other filtering options. To get items to be filled from cmp you will need sources, for example: hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp plugin will provide items from a LSP server to cmp, so you can get items you can fuzzy match in. Another one is items from buffers: hrsh7th/cmp-buffer

If you're using Neovim, check out LuaSnip: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

You can use LuaSnip and load snippets from VSCode. The documentation is pretty complete, but here is my config in case you want another reference.

I am trying to add snippets for python, i have LuaSnip and friendly-snippets installed, but for some reason it does not load the snippets. This is how i load the plugins:

There was a similar issue in LuaSnip repo. The culprit was a keymap in the config. Do you happen to have a similar keymap somewhere in your config?

I have decided to extract my Haskell snippets for LuaSnip into a plugin: haskell-snippets.nvim.

Not exactly what you're talking about but you could look into LuaSnip?

There are a few more resources for new users as well on the official repo, and you can find the implementation in Examples/snippets.lua

You mean snippets? If yes, you can try Luasnip and friendly-snippets with nvim-cmp and here's the setup guide. Hope it helps

I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.
