UltiSnips – Snippet Solution for Vim
My go to these days has been https://github.com/hrsh7th/vim-vsnip. It is compatible with LSP and VSCode snippet format. Since it is in pure VimScript you don’t need to battle configuring python just to get the plug-in to work.

UltiSnips to LuaSnip converter
I first started by reading some tutorials but most of those used parser combinators. For me, parser combinators always caused some issues sooner or later (at least in Lua when trying to parse recursive / nested nodes). An example project that uses this technique is vim-vsnip: https://github.com/hrsh7th/vim-vsnip/blob/master/autoload/vsnip/snippet/parser.vim. Later, I found out that Luacheck uses a different approach which I liked better: https://github.com/lunarmodules/luacheck/blob/master/src/luacheck/parser.lua. That's the project that helped me the most while writing my own parsers for different snippet engines.

Neovim, LSP and AWS Cloudformation Autocomplete
I am not a snippets expert, I don't even currently use snippets. However, I know that both LuaSnip and vim-vsnip can load these vscode style snippets. So my recommendation would be to get the snippets and use one of those two snippet plugins.

Neovim for screenplay writing
For autocompletion I use the nvim-cmp plugin. If you're not coding, it might be overkill. But during writing it helps me a lot, because it autosuggests words that I used in the current buffer, too. The most popular autocomplete plugins should be compatible with the most popular snippets engines like vim-vsnip.

The Must-Have Neovim Plugins for Julia
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 😔)

TSServer Snippets
I believe you want the second variant. Then you should install some snippet plugin like vsnip or luasnip and config it with your completion engine.

Anyone using Neovim for Drupal development?
https://github.com/hrsh7th/vim-vsnip says it supports vscode style snippets, so apparently you could use https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kaffeine.advanced-drupal-8-snippets with that plugin.

Noob post: Been using neovim for 3 days and I followed the following instructions (see post) for LSP integration and got "attempt to index local 'lsp' (a nil value)".
I think it can be on any lua file. Plus I checked completion.nvim is now on archived.

How in the world do you set up nvim-cmp?
You don't, nvim-cmp sets up you. Jokes aside, I am using completion-nvim. Unfortunately it got abandoned just as Neovim 0.5.1 got released, which contained a breaking change. You can look into the pending PRs to see how to fix it for yourself, just use one of the fixed forks. It really sucks, but unless someone steps up an creates a new completion plugin that's what I am stuck with.

How to configure ALE and floating windows?
I couldn't figure out how to change this. I found some options, some of which made an entire split window appear above... that's hideous. I also found this, but that works with lua. How do I even set up these lua scripts? I don't get it. Can I get some guidance? Thanks.

How do you deal with poorly documented plugins?
I have tried to move to nvim-cmp since completion-nvim is dead, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make it not automatically select the first completion candidate. If I type date and hit to insert a new line, cmp takes as the "confirm selection" key (because I have mapped it that way) and expands the snippet. I only want to confirm a selection if I actually selected something from the menu. completion-nvim may be dead, but at least its author had the courtesy to write down how to use it in complete plain English sentences instead of broken English one-liners. Eventually I gave up and moved back to the old setup.

Neovim Python Dev Config
That will give you the basics, you should see linter diagnostics and auto omin completion should work. For better auto-completion and snippets you can set up one of the completion- and snippets plugins. Personally I use completion-nvim and Ultisnips. There may be better plugins out there, that's just what I happen to have installed.

Auto-completion plugin alternatives?
I recently upgraded from Neovim 0.5.0 to 0.5.1 and LSP autocompletion stopped working. I'm using https://github.com/nvim-lua/completion-nvim but it looks like its maintenance could be much better. I'm looking for some alternative but I'm not sure what would be a good choice for LSP. Any recommendations?
