nvim-compe VS deoplete.nvim

I use https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe and https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim along with the built in LSP and auto completion works really well. You will want treesitter and all that setup too.

I want to share my code for my migration from nvim-compe (deprecated) to nvim-cmp. Though, I would describe myself as an experienced Vimmer I am not very familiar with the whole Lua thing (although I really appreciate it and hope that Lua's first class citizen can compete with the elisp ecosystem^^).

Wrong, plain and simple. A total misconception.

compe.nvim

For autocomplete/intellisense: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe

But nvim-compe already exists.

completion-nvim OR nvim-compe

Here's some setup idea: - packer for package manager - clangd language server - nvim-lspconfig, required for navigator.lua - navigator.lua for enchanced IDE experience. This is a like adding a sugar to coffee. - completion-nvim OR nvim-compe for enchanching autocomplete & dropdown menu suggestion. - nvim-treesitter for better syntax highlighting. - telescope.nvim for amazing extensible & configurable fuzzy finder, you can also use fzf if you want. - Any custom color scheme you want (preferably one that supports tree sitter, like aurora )

I think in-the-wild examples like Ultisnips deoplete semshi (although they are advanced and somewhat complex) would also be good examples to learn how one can use python for writing plugins.

If you post your issue on https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/issues, Shougo might be able to better assist you.

I have a problem with Deoplete and Vim-LSP completion (Python's Pylsp and Jedi-Language-Server). The suggestion is much less, and it also misses a lot of opportunities to suggest compared to Deoplete-Jedi, which literally defeats the former by a large margin. Is there a setting to make this duo works like deoplete with deoplete-jedi?

Someone made an issue on this question, with the author suggesting float-previewnvim.

This exactly why I keep using deoplete! Other completion plugins don't handle middle of word completion correctly.

As we can see, it's a deoplete issue. By reading the docs at https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim, under the requirements section, it needs nvim to be compiled with python support.

Hmm. Maybe I don't know what to look for (not an expert at vim), but I have searched the deoplete documentation and I can't see any options to allow as-you-type omnicompletion. There are things like external sources, but I don't need that. Everything is available from , I just need that to be automatic.

For me I've been using deoplete.nvim for everyday use and for a long time and will probably transition to [ddc.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/ddc.vim] which is the next iteration after deoplete from the same author and is very similar to cmp in terms of setup with user customization.

To my knowledge thats not possible with omnicompletion. For this you would have to use an auto-completion plugin. I am using compe because its fast, minimal and integrates well with the builtin nvim-lsp but there are many others. The most popular is probably coc. You could also check out deoplete.
