My neovim autocomplete setup: explained

[@collienotYay]

you must be able to crank out all of these videos with your increased efficiency and workflow with neovim

[@bfors8498]

For me, my neovim workflow allows me to more efficiently make my neovim configuration more efficient

[@atomicman007]

​@@bfors8498 Infinite productivity 📈

[@gjermundification]

@@bfors8498 Just like for bandwidth distribution; most people are confused by what they can actually do with the gained capacity.

[@frederickmichaud6783]

I love tidbits of efficiency with my coffee in the morning. thanks Teej!

[@steckmajster]

I'm on this journey to try to transition to neovim from vs code for my editing. It's scary, and hard, and I get exhausted when I don't know what's happening or what keybindings to use to achieve what I want. But your videos are inspiring and might just be enough to make me reach the summit.

[@vondentz]

TJ should do a video reading child books

[@Debrugger]

He did one a while ago. I forget what the book was called, The man and the neovim or something

[@maxwebstudio]

[@DanielSantaCruz]

Great content! Keep it coming! Only comment: the blue highlight on the text makes it impossible to read the text you are highlighting.

[@sudomateo]

Loving these videos! I'd love a video on your configuration around Vim tabs and your decision to Vim tabs and splits rather than tmux panes.

[@Feedback406]

I liked the funny interludes you did back then those were cool

[@RazoBeckett.]

I don't create my custom snippets, but i do use the C-k and C-j business which is C-h and C-l for me. Nvim is really powerful and i hate hitting TAB.

[@ficolas2]

Could you make a video about how to make Luasnip snippets, specially using tree sitter queries? I have had quite a bit of trouble with those, and you being a tree sitter maintainer probably have it really easy.

[@CZiNTrPT]

love it, nvim-cmp gives me the most problems so far

[@riccardoshrives5881]

Heck yeah dude! Been waiting for this one!

[@muhametsmaili3832]

Thank you man. You are amazing.

[@workflowinmind]

I love these new formats

[@艾曦-e4g]

Love you! Greate vidoe! 👍I am wondering what is it going to be if Tj have this auto-compete and ai-assistant coding tools such as llm-ls. Which is really cool IMO. Can Tj use this ls(llm-ls) together with nvim-cmp or what Tj do with these ai things. Thank you TJ.!

[@mambusskruj]

ok now i know how i will spend my weekend

[@marcobuess]

I really tried to love but I find it rather uncomfortable to use on non qwerty layouts. Any advice?

[@user-ek8cd1gg3f]

Try a more comfortable letter ;)

[@IainSimmons]

Great video! You mentioned not liking using the same key for multiple things... But I'm fairly certain you've mentioned in a previous video that you also use Ctrl+J/Ctrl+K for moving between Neovim windows. I know some people also use Ctrl+K for viewing LSP information for whatever is under the cursor... Do you do those things and how does that work in your mind? Different modes?

[@teej_dv]

Different modes, different actions. Ya

[@WaylonWalker]

Totally read this as my complete neovim setup.

[@rddavies]

For a *really* long time I could not get LSP snippets to work with Lua. It turned out that for the special case of lua_ls not only do you have to setup Neovim, but you also have to set up the lua_ls. I don't think that you have to do this for most other languages. In any case this config can be done either with .luarc.json or in your lua_ls setup in your neovim config and it basically consists of setting completion.callSnippet to be equal to "Replace".

[@djbokoboko]

Do we have to have snippets as 1st priorty though in order to select/expand the snippet with C-k or how you do it? Is there a way to always hit C-k and if snippet exists expand it otherwise select the completion? Your completions dont show from which source they are coming from and I cant understand how to make it work like you demonstrate. Thanks in advance.

[@rib9985]

Holy smokes this is really powerful

[@internetexplorer7880]

Please make a codeium plugin setup tutorial? I can't get it to autocomplete an entire function for some reason. Would help tons

[@AlbertBici-b6w]

where I can find all the builtin snippets inside luasnip plugin, for example I wanted to understand how class snippet is made insiede java

[@erlangparasu6339]

Please make tutorial about how to test the config that we have changed (eg. in plugins .lua). How to test to see the effect? For example using print to debug. Where we can see the output. etc. Thanks

[@tauiin]

there is also cmp_async-path instead of cmp-path to make it a bit faster

[@itr00ow93]

ever thought of using a way so we can see what you type?

[@RedrumZT]

Need a new video explaining how to use native snippets

[@MegaPacoquinha]

Is there any video of teej where he goes in details how he moves between files?

[@brattonross]

shoutout old macdonald

[@vedantd999]

thanks TJ my cmp is works now

[@alexanderlasson8243]

What theme does he use?

[@Kane0123]

Does Teej do video work in neovim? What a chad

[@chornsokun]

More vid like this please 😊

[@shed_one]

Why is luasnip not included as a source for nvim-cmp?

[@madlep]

Elixir mentioned :D

[@bobbybobsen123]

Please explain to me why we are using C-k to go down and C-j to go up 😆

[@teej_dv]

Haha for me it's like K is on the right of j, so moving to the right in the snippet 😂

[@IgorGuerrero]

I have the same but I use J for forward and K for backwards instead...

[@saishkalbag7103]

hard pass on C-y, Tab is da way thx for video! stole your c-k and snippet file stuff

[@petertillemans2231]

eieio? Yes, blame it on your kids. You're a crypto emacs user, aren't you?

[@wolfisraging]

may be sometime better to talk about what exactly you're working on using neovim, rather than neovim
