nvim-snippy VS cmp-vsnip

nvim-snippy?

I don't know about LuaSnip, but nvim-snippy can expand LSP snippets without using an auto-completion plugin.

I want to give some attention to the excellent nvim-snippy plugin.

I think it's a bug in Neovim; I ran into a similar (if not the same) issue, and I use neither nvim-cmp nor lsp-zero: https://github.com/dcampos/nvim-snippy/issues/90

I even wrote my own autocmd for auto-completion, which was a lot of fun and helped me learn a lot about Neovim. Together with nvim-snippy it meets all of my needs (so far).

there is nvim-snippy

For me it's about extra dependencies. It's not enough to just have Neovim, you also need Python and the pynvim package, plus whatever Python dependencies the plugin might have. It used to be a tradeoff worth it before we had built-in Lua, but now it doesn't really matter. The last everyday Python plugin I have is UltiSnips and I am currently evaluating nvim-snippy as a replacement.

I switched to snippy because I had the same problem

Snippy for snippets,

I recommend to use https://github.com/dcampos/nvim-snippy, I'm so happy with it

I recently migrated from vim-vsnip to nvim-snippy due to this bug in cmp-vsnip.

Have you ever wondered how to have a snippet completion in VSCode so you can write Julia code fast but in Neovim? Fear not! vim-vsnip is the plugin you need. This plugin supports LSP/VSCode's snippet format. But first, you need to install cmp-vsnip for this plugin to be sourced to nvim-cmp. Oh btw, these three plugins: nvim-cmp, vim-vsnip, and cmp-vsnip → are made by the same person which is actually cool! If you want to support them, become a sponsor! (I am poor so I cannot sponsor yet 😔)
