vim-mucomplete VS supertab

If you don't mind using tags instead, a lighter alternative would be to use MUcomplete with the following settings:

You can use the mucomplete plugin, with the following settings:

You can use mucomplete plugin with built-in vim command completion (suggested by @Fantastic_Cow7272) added to completion chain

If you have a LSP client providing an omnicomplete function (such as vim-lsp), you can use mucomplete to enable "completion as you type". That setup is both Vim and Neovim compatible! :)

MUcomplete?

I use the mucomplete plugin, which makes Vim's builtin completions feel more Sublime-like.

Thanks for the suggestion. This set me on the right track - nvim-cmp didn't integrate well with my other plugins, but I found a very similar plugin called vim-mucomplete. Works out of the box and is equally minimal. Can also be configured for compatibility with stuff like UltiSnips.

There are plugins that may improve this experience for you, like supertab, vimcompletesme, or vim-mucomplete. You can find more completion plugins here.

There's a plugin, vim-mucomplete, that is built around combining some of the Ctrl-X bindings with, of which there are many. I used mucomplete to learn what all the various functions do and then uninstalled it, because I found the individual bindings easier to remember.

vim-lsp and ccls, supertab for auto-completion

supertab? (one of the "install and forget" plugins I'm using for years)

Extra: for extra intellisense, you can use https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale (I don't - I like to stick to vanilla Vim as much as possible), https://github.com/ervandew/supertab (for completions using TAB instead of Ctrl-P), and https://github.com/jiangmiao/auto-pairs (automatic bracket insertion).
