    I also find Lsp Lines to be pretty awesome. I have a bunch of windows in kitty open next to each other and the default virtual_text kept overflowing off my visual buffer. This took care of that and is extremely helpful.

    Primeagen has a series, you could also try spacevim or lunarvim( i prefer lunarvim). If you want to read the docs and setup yourself 1. lsp and code completion mentioned in #5. 2. treesitter 3. lsp handles that, you have to install java's lsp, this improves its look. 4. Make your own remaps, some languages have a plugin for this but i can't find one for java, this is the one for rust. 5. Install cmp and one of the snippet engines.

    Doing a fast scan on the commit history this is probably related to https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/pull/1689 . Hope it helps.
  • Do I need NeoVIM?

    https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

  • is it possible to limit the size of nvim-cmps autocompletion window?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 18 Jul 2023
    one thing that always annoyed me is how the autocomplete window behaves. when the space below your current line isn't sufficient it just teleports above the line. i know you can set a custom menu direction but i'd much rather have it pop up in a consistent place that is below the current line. the other behavior i dislike is the sizing. it's as big as the longest function in the list which can make the window enormous, to the point where there's almost no place left for the docs window. there aren't really any docs in the example below but i imagine with the little space that is left it'll get troublesome for more verbose docs such as with rust. i'd like to somehow tell nvim-cmp to always pop up below the current line, no matter how long the list is and possibly limit the horizontal size. is that at all possible? i've looked through the nvim-cmp wiki but haven't found an adequate solution. does this go beyond nvim-cmp?
