cmp-vimtex's Issues

Loading Delay and Icon Support

I am not sure if this is a bug or not, or if there is anything to be done, but I've noticed that if I open nvim and go to cite something right away, when I cycle through possible completions, it doesn't open up the information menu.
If I exit out and try again, then everything works.
I have also noticed that If I wait 30sec or so before trying to cite something, then everything works.

This is not at all a problem, just wanted to mention it in case that is helpful. Feel free to close immediately if there is nothing to be done.

One other question I had is if it is possible to replace '[article]' or '[book]' etc., with a nerdfont icon. Here is what I tried (first three entries) and seems to work for other sources (I guess nerdfont icons don't work here):

'''
local kind_icons = {
article = "󰧮",
book = "󰧮",
incollection = "󱓷",
Function = "󰊕",
Constructor = "󰧮",
Text = "󰦨",
Method = "",
Field = "󰅪",
ETC
}

formatting = {
  fields = { "kind", "abbr", "menu" },
  format = function(entry, vim_item)
    vim_item.kind = string.format("%s", kind_icons[vim_item.kind]) -- Kind icons
    vim_item.menu = ({
      vimtex = (vim_item.menu ~= nil and vim_item.menu or "[VimTex]"),
      nvim_lsp = "[LSP]",
ETC
}

'''

Thanks for the help. Been loving the plugin!

Use VimTeXs lua parser?

I'm curious if it may make more sense to utilize the new VimTeX lua parser for bib files directly. It has now become quite fast. And after parsing a large file it can be kept in memory.

Thus, even if there would be a delay while parsing for the completion, the delay would be 1) very small, and 2) should only appear once for each session.

I believe this would simplify the cmp-vimtex plugin. Simpler is often better. :)

Crash/errors on unrecognized key type in bibliography

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin!
Unfortunately, I'm getting persistent crashes/error messages when loading in bibliographies from a couple collaborators: the reason seems to be an unrecognized key in the citation.
The error I'm getting is

stack traceback:
	...cal/share/nvim/lazy/cmp-vimtex/lua/cmp_vimtex/parser.lua:64: in function 'format_entry'
	...cal/share/nvim/lazy/cmp-vimtex/lua/cmp_vimtex/parser.lua:143: in function 'callback'

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: ...cal/share/nvim/lazy/cmp-vimtex/lua/cmp_vimtex/parser.lua:102: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'lnum' (a nil value)`

and here's a MWE:
'test.tex'

\begin{document}
\title{this is a title}
\bibliography{test}

\end{document}

'test.bib'

@misc{Harvard-01,
    title = "something"
    key = {Harvard}
}

Thanks!

Change of cwd when opening .tex file

I noticed that upon opening a .tex file in neovim, my cwd would change to the same as that of the file itself. I narrowed this behavior down to this plugin - disabling it leaves my cwd unchanged. It is simply added using lazy and, as per the vimtex documentation, vimtex is added as as cmp source for the .tex filetype.

I am unsure where this behavior comes from - but I will be happy to help out if it is not immediately reproducible and turns out to be a more complicated interplay between my plugins.

As you can see, I installed nvim from brew, if that's relevant. I have the vimtex plugin installed and it seems to work fine. I have the nvim-cmp plugin installed by installing zero-lsp nvim with luasnips integration.

Removing autocompletion for regular commands

I'm trying to figure out how to disable all the regular LaTeX symbol autocompletions:

I'd basically like to only display autocompletion data related to things like labels, bibliographic citations, etc. rather than all the commands from packages!

I tried to read the cmp-vimtex documentation but could not figure out what the trigger would be. Currently my sources are:

        sources = cmp.config.sources {
          { name = 'ultisnips', priority = 1000 },
          -- { name = 'omni', priority = 1000 },
          { name = 'vimtex', priority = 750 },
          -- { name = 'nvim_lsp', priority = 600 },
          -- { name = 'buffer', priority = 500 },
          -- { name = 'otter', priority = 500 },
          -- { name = 'path', priority = 250 },
        },

so I have only enabled ultisnips and vimtex sources. The long list of suggestions goes away if I comment out the vimtex sources line.

duplicated vimtex source problem

Thank you for your efforts,

If I configure cmp-vimex, CmpStatus shows me the vimtex sources are duplicated
In nvim-cmp lazy.nvim setup, I called the cmp-vimtex plugin as dependencies.

Case 1) If I don't configure cmp-vimtex

dependencies = {
  'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer',       -- source for text in buffer
  'hrsh7th/cmp-path',         -- source for file system path
  'hrsh7th/cmp-cmdline',		-- source for commandline, [command], [path]
  'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp',     -- using LSP for source
  'f3fora/cmp-spell',			-- source for vim's spellsuggest
  'L3MON4D3/LuaSnip',         -- snippet engine
  'saadparwaiz1/cmp_luasnip', -- using LuaSnip for source
  'mstanciu552/cmp-matlab',   -- source of matlab
  {
    'micangl/cmp-vimtex', 		-- source of vimtex for latex
  },
},

Cmp-vimtex loaded just once for unused source names (I didn't load this source to confirm how many this source is called just.)

Case 2) If I configure cmp-vimtex

dependencies = {
  'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer',       -- source for text in buffer
  'hrsh7th/cmp-path',         -- source for file system path
  'hrsh7th/cmp-cmdline',		-- source for commandline, [command], [path]
  'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp',     -- using LSP for source
  'f3fora/cmp-spell',			-- source for vim's spellsuggest
  'L3MON4D3/LuaSnip',         -- snippet engine
  'saadparwaiz1/cmp_luasnip', -- using LuaSnip for source
  'mstanciu552/cmp-matlab',   -- source of matlab
  {
    'micangl/cmp-vimtex', 		-- source of vimtex for latex
    config = function ()
      require('cmp_vimtex').setup({})
    end
  },
},

Cmp-vimtex loaded twice as below

Could you know where the vimtex source are called one more?

README instructions not working for me?

Using neovim v0.9.4 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1 with nvim-cmp for autompletion, but when I tried to include cmp-vimtex using your README instructions, none of the functionality seems to be working for LaTeX files. Here is my nvim-cmp.lua file:

And my plugins setup file (uses packer for plugin management):

This isn't exactly a bug, it's more likely that I'm missing something in the configuration, but I'll be grateful for any help you might be able to provide!

Autocommand not triggered

The autocommand defined here is not triggered if cmp-vimtex is loaded lazily by e.g. lazy.nvim. I think this will be a quite common situation.

A simple, but possibly good solution is to add a check if the current file is already a .tex file, and to then start the parser immediately.

I would also advice to put all code inside the setup function. That is, requireing a script should not have a side effect in itself.

Global Bib File

Although I can get bib completion to work with a local .bib file, I cannot manage to get the same to work for a global .bib ~/texmf/bibtex/bib/Zotero.bib which I source with \bibliography{Zotero} at the end of my latex document. I use this global .bib file for everything and then have a keybinding set up to generate a local .bib file which only includes entries for the citations that occur in the local latex document once it is finished.

I am wondering: how can I get cmp-vimtex to find my global .bib file ~/texmf/bibtex/bib/Zotero.bib?

Thanks so much for an excellent plugin/extension. I'm so pleased to have it back up and running :)

Bug in bibtex parser

Given the following lua init file e.g. under ~/test/test.lua:

local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.lazy", ":p")

for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
	vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
	vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

local plugins = {
	"hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
	"micangl/cmp-vimtex",
	"lervag/vimtex",
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, { root = root .. "/plugins" })

vim.g.vimtex_cache_root = "."
vim.g.vimtex_cache_persistent = false

vim.cmd([[silent! close]])
vim.cmd.edit("test.tex")

And the following test.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
Test \cite{gaonkar}
\end{document}

We get the following error message:

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: .../test/.lazy/plugins/cmp-vimtex/lua/cmp_vimtex/parser.lua:64: attempt to index local 'entry' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        .../test/.lazy/plugins/cmp-vimtex/lua/cmp_vimtex/parser.lua:64: in function 'format_entry'

Environment completion completes a brace

Here I tried to explain whats up. Basically I wrote some snippets (\begin snippet) for example, and when the cmp-vimtex completes the environment name it closes the brace. I dont need this brace. Or do I? I just want to know what I am doing wrong.

Custom formatting work-around

I've just moved over to using cmp-vimtex from cmp-omni. I'm liking it better, and there are a few hick-up's I'm trying to fix. I'd like to see the citation information the plugin provides, but I have a custom formatting for my cmp sources:

cmp.setup({ 
...
	formatting = {
	fields = { "kind", "abbr", "menu" },
	format = function(entry, vim_item)
		vim_item.kind = string.format('%s %s', icons.kind_icons[vim_item.kind], vim_item.kind) -- This concatenates the icons with the name of the item kind
		vim_item.menu = ({
			nvim_lsp = "[Lsp]",
			luasnip = "[Snip]",
			path = "[Path]",
			nerdfont = '[Nerd]',
			buffer = "[Buf]",
			spell = "[Spell]",
			calc = "[Calc]",
			vimtex = "[Vimtex]",
			git = "[Git]",
			Variable = "[Var]",
			Todos = "[Comment]",
		})[entry.source.name]
		return vim_item
	end,
	}
...
})

I have done require('cmp-vimtex').setup(...) as well, but this seems to override it. I think I need to put something here to say that for cmp-vimtex, use its custom formatting. Any ideas on how to do that?

New feature: documentation window highlighting

In the new branch test_highlighting is available a feature I had wanted to implement for some time. Basically, it highlights the bibliographic keys in the documentation windows:

I haven't written the documentation yet. This is the relevant part of the configuration:

local defaults = {
  additional_information = {
    bib_highlighting = true,
    highlight_colors = {
      default_group = "Normal", -- Highlight group for most of the keys (in my config it's the yellow part)
      important_group = "IncSearch", -- Highlight group to distinguish the most important keys
      default = { -- Eventually, color codes can be specified
        fg = "",
        bg = "",
      },
      important = {
        fg = "",
        bg = "",
      },
    },
    highlight_links = { -- This sets, for each key, if "Default" or "Important" is used.
      -- Normal highlight groups can be used too.
      -- Bibtex
      Address = "Default",
      Annote = "Default",
      Author = "Important",
      Booktitle = "Default",
      Email = "Default",
      Chapter = "Default",
      Crossref = "Default",
      Doi = "Default",
      Edition = "Default",
      Editor = "Default",
      Howpublished = "Default",
      Institution = "Default",
      Journal = "Default",
      Key = "Default",
      Month = "Default",
      Note = "Default",
      Number = "Default",
      Organization = "Default",
      Pages = "Default",
      Publisher = "Default",
      School = "Default",
      Series = "Default",
      Title = "Important",
      Type = "Default",
      Volume = "Default",
      Year = "Default",
      -- Biblatex
      Isbn = "Default",
      -- cmp-vimtex-specific keys
      File = "Default",
      Lnum = "Default",
      Cite = "Default",
    },
  },
}
