completion words from current buffer

Introduction

NCM2, formerly known as nvim-completion-manager, is a slim, fast and hackable completion framework for neovim.

Main features:

1. Fast and asynchronous completion support, with vimscript friendly API.
2. Smart on files with different languages, for example, css/javascript completion in html style/script tag.
3. Function parameter expansion support using ncm2-snippet plugins.
4. Language server protocol plugin integration.

Read our wiki page for a list of extensions and programming languages support for NCM2.

Requirements

• :echo has("nvim-0.2.2") prints 1. Older versions has not been tested
• :echo has("python3") prints 1. This is usually set by python3 -m pip install pynvim in shell and let g:python3_host_prog=/path/to/python/executable/ in vimrc.
• Plugin nvim-yarp

For vim8 user, read the nvim-yarp README. Note that vim8 support is simply a bonus. It's not the goal of NCM2.

Install

    " assuming you're using vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug
    Plug 'ncm2/ncm2'
    Plug 'roxma/nvim-yarp'

    " enable ncm2 for all buffers
    autocmd BufEnter * call ncm2#enable_for_buffer()

    " IMPORTANT: :help Ncm2PopupOpen for more information
    set completeopt=noinsert,menuone,noselect

    " NOTE: you need to install completion sources to get completions. Check
    " our wiki page for a list of sources: https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2/wiki
    Plug 'ncm2/ncm2-bufword'
    Plug 'ncm2/ncm2-path'

Optional Vimrc Tips

    " suppress the annoying 'match x of y', 'The only match' and 'Pattern not
    " found' messages
    set shortmess+=c

    " CTRL-C doesn't trigger the InsertLeave autocmd . map to <ESC> instead.
    inoremap <c-c> <ESC>

    " When the <Enter> key is pressed while the popup menu is visible, it only
    " hides the menu. Use this mapping to close the menu and also start a new
    " line.
    inoremap <expr> <CR> (pumvisible() ? "\<c-y>\<cr>" : "\<CR>")

    " Use <TAB> to select the popup menu:
    inoremap <expr> <Tab> pumvisible() ? "\<C-n>" : "\<Tab>"
    inoremap <expr> <S-Tab> pumvisible() ? "\<C-p>" : "\<S-Tab>"

    " wrap existing omnifunc
    " Note that omnifunc does not run in background and may probably block the
    " editor. If you don't want to be blocked by omnifunc too often, you could
    " add 180ms delay before the omni wrapper:
    "  'on_complete': ['ncm2#on_complete#delay', 180,
    "               \ 'ncm2#on_complete#omni', 'csscomplete#CompleteCSS'],
    au User Ncm2Plugin call ncm2#register_source({
            \ 'name' : 'css',
            \ 'priority': 9,
            \ 'subscope_enable': 1,
            \ 'scope': ['css','scss'],
            \ 'mark': 'css',
            \ 'word_pattern': '[\w\-]+',
            \ 'complete_pattern': ':\s*',
            \ 'on_complete': ['ncm2#on_complete#omni', 'csscomplete#CompleteCSS'],
            \ })

How Do I write Ncm2 Source?

One important step is to understand how and when completion gets triggered. Read :help ncm2#register_source carefully, or :help ncm2#register_source-example for quick start.

In case you don't know what tool you should use for async support. Here are some options available:

• :help jobstart()
• python remote plugin example
• I myself prefer to use nvim-yarp
  • Read ncm2/ncm2-bufword for example

ncm2-bufword's Issues

feature request: complete words from other buffers as well

Could it be possible to enable the completion from other buffers as well as the current one? thanks!

Is there anyway to chage this to work on all openbuffers.

Hi I am looking for way to change this search all open buffers.
Is this possible ?

bufnr = ctx['bufnr']

Show menu after 1-2 chars

I'd like to configure the menu to show after 1 or 2 characters, instead of waiting for 3. I'm not sure if the behavior comes from here or ncm2/ncm2, as this is the only source I use currently.

[Documentation] How do I trigger the completion window to show up?

Seems like there's little to no documentation on doing the simplest of things.

Feature request: option to disable automatic popup of next word.

I personally used the ncm1 buffer word completion to get some keyword completion for languages that do not have semantic completion support. While the automatic popup can be helpful sometimes, more often than not it simply irritates me. An option to disable this feature would be great.

Thank you for your hard work on ncm/ncm2!
