packer.nvim VS nvim-cmp

packer

require('packer').startup(function(use) use 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim' use 'https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig' end)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\ ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

``` vim.g.maplocalleader = " " vim.g.mapleader = " " local ensure_packer = function() local fn = vim.fn local install_path = fn.stdpath("data") .. "/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim" if fn.empty(fn.glob(install_path)) > 0 then fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--depth", "1", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim", install_path }) vim.cmd([[packadd packer.nvim]]) return true end return false end

To get started, simply install the plugin using your favorite plugin manager, such as vim-plug or packer.nvim. You can find detailed installation instructions in the README.

Is there a particular reason why you would want to use vim plug in Lua? If you're new to neovim, I would highly recommend that you pick one of the popular Lua-based package managers (Lazy and Packer) and use those. Perhaps also check out TJ's kickstart.nvim if you want a slightly less barebones initial setup.

Snapshot provides the same functionality but is much harder to use IMHO, see https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim/issues/1009 they describe what people expect from a lock file and how it's integrated in a way that is developer friendly and it's still open.

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

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.

You need to add nvim-cmp and cmp-nvim-lsp

I don't know about lsp-zero since I don't use it, but to get luasnip auto completions from nvim-cmp you should add luasnip to its sources. Then you should get auto completions. Check the recommended configuration of nvim-cmp.

However, many language clients are indeed sensitive to the latency of language servers like https://github.com/ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim and https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp, and I do not have the ability to improve them.

PS: I suspect that this https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/issues/1606 may also be related to some slower lsp.
