UltiSnips β 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 donβt 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 β 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 π)

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.

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

Do I need NeoVIM?
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.

About some deprecations in Neovim core
But today I'm a different person, and I'm sure that this is the right decision. I already gave a spiel on the cmp PR, but lemme copy-paste my response for those that weren't following the issue or don't check their GitHub notifications:
-
nvim starts multiple node processes leading to very high memory usage
EDIT: I was able to reproduce the issue with a simplified nvim-cmp init.vim - posted here: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/issues/1728

is it possible to limit the size of nvim-cmps autocompletion window?
one thing that always annoyed me is how the autocomplete window behaves. when the space below your current line isn't sufficient it just teleports above the line. i know you can set a custom menu direction but i'd much rather have it pop up in a consistent place that is below the current line. the other behavior i dislike is the sizing. it's as big as the longest function in the list which can make the window enormous, to the point where there's almost no place left for the docs window. there aren't really any docs in the example below but i imagine with the little space that is left it'll get troublesome for more verbose docs such as with rust. i'd like to somehow tell nvim-cmp to always pop up below the current line, no matter how long the list is and possibly limit the horizontal size. is that at all possible? i've looked through the nvim-cmp wiki but haven't found an adequate solution. does this go beyond nvim-cmp?

Toggling the nvim-cmp documentation window
Update: This isn't currently supported by nvim-cmp (and in fact it has been a feature request for a bit) and so I did my best and opened a PR that implements it :)
