  • nvim-cmp

    A completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua.

  • There are many excellent vim auto-completion plugins such as nvim-cmp, vim-lsp, YouCompleteMe and coc.nvim etc. I used coc.nvim for a long time. It’s experience is good. But there are a few things I don’t like. These plugins tend to have too much dependencies and do not have minimal configuration. For example, I don't want to install Node when programming c++ or golang. In my opinion vim is more lightweight than vscode so I don’t need the fully integrated features of it. Besides other completion plugins neither have good experiences enough nor compatible with vim and nvim at the same time. Therefor I created vim-easycomplete according to my personal habits.
