[@briainodriscoll]

Thanks for these instructional videos Chris. I enjoy your relaxed approach to doing things in the new Lua way. Much appreciated!

[@Pau1danelli]

I'd been struggling to get CMP working for ages until I watched your video and checked out the code in your Repo. Thank you so much for going through this and helping the community. :)

[@michaelcarnevale5620]

Your tutorials are great man thanks for this will def help me when I transition to lua vim

[@JianClash8]

Thank you very much for the help I have been trying to get cmp working for weeks now and all I needed was this 20min video ❤❤❤

[@arionlove1212]

Really helpful series, I think everybody should tailor their own config, I believe it makes things more efficient. Only thing that was stopping me was good guideline, all these documentation was too much too read. Thank you chris for the series, been a follower since "VIM as an IDE" video. Keep up the good work

[@HernandoFarias]

this is great! thank you for your videos!

[@mchess7157]

Up until this week I've been working on vim. And now I've switched to neovim. I can't even imagine how could I live without it. With this configuration I just love it

[@jrdicoll]

For anyone having trouble with the documentation, the config has changed, and to get the same window effect, you now must include this code: window = { documentation = cmp.config.window.bordered(), },

Amazing video! Keep going!!

Chris, your collection of wallpapers are so good. Please do upload these latest wallpapers to your repo. Thanks!

[@0canten754]

thank you so much, bro!

[@cdrh8206]

Another amazing tutorial

[@itw6034]

very helpful series, especially when you just setting nvim up and get bombarded with lot of config

[@placebola_]

Perfect mate thanks you

[@bartstavenuiter9895]

hi chris. Love this tutorial, it was exactly what I was also doing, except i get mangling with the old normal vim configuration etc. Now i'm using neovim lua setup only. Got one question about the completion. How do you handle embedded languages in another filetype, like js and css in a html file or php file? Omnicompletion still works there, but lsp can give so much more. Any idea?

[@javalace]

I have a dumb question, in regards to mappings, when using a macbook there is no ALT key, hence I tried the option key, however the result was not what I expected (of course) however I'm struggling to find documentation as to how to do the mappings to the 'option hjkl' (the equivalent to inoremap on vim. Any ideas of where I can find those? Needles to say your series of neovim from the scratch are 'pure gold' for those of us looking to move towards (n)vim as an ide. Keep the great work and thanks!

[@javalace]

after a bit of struggling and reading found part of the answer (now I'm left struggling with the resize using the arrows) -- Visual Block -- -- Move text up and down keymap("x", "J", ":move '>+1gv-gv", opts) keymap("x", "K", ":move '

[@williambillemeyling5647]

Hey I think it would be nice if you included "Neovim from scratch" in the title of these videos to make it easier for people to recognize. And also I think a lot of people are looking for lua-based neovim tutorial series so I could lead to more views. Ex. "Completion Tutorial 100% Lua | Neovim From Scratch ep. 6" :)

[@bamboowoo7928]

I am converting from emacs to neovim. It's pretty hard whtiout those videos, thank you!

[@stephaneislistening6103]

Any way to order the kinds in LSP ? I'd like to have my variable and method names first on top.

[@donovanjones3673]

How do I select the second option in a snippet that offers multiple options when using luasnip? Read a bunch of docs but don't see it mentioned

[@MajorJackass]

Thanks for your tutorials! I am going through them and they are great in helping transitioning from vim to neovim (with all the extra plugins). I am following this video for the completion and I am getting it working with your config, however, each completion appears 4 times in the list (duplicates). I'm not sure why this would be happening, would you happen to have any tips / ideas? Thanks again

[@MajorJackass]

For some reason, my initial reply is not appearing... In any case, it was to summarise that it seems to be linked to using `vim-plug` - when I removed `Plug cmp_luasnip` & `Plug friendly-snippets` (after they had already been installed) and it worked as expected (showing just 1 suggestion instead of 4 of the same...). I switched to `Packer` and it is working as expected. This is just to let anybody else know if they are running into this. Thanks!

[@XxdaftnemesisxX]

Hey, great tutorial, i'm loving it, but i have a question, how to autocomplete html tags in a jsx file?

[@chrisatmachine]

look up ts autotag, I think it's in my nvim config on my github.

[@Sra4825]

ctrl + y is the default accept mapping for vim and neovim.

[@reverseila4363]

For your future nerd font video, could you show an example of how to patch a font?

[@robertojunior6672]

when youre mapping and you use "i" and "s", what they mean ?

[@fidelfs]

I am new to Lua, so everything is new for me. I am having problem to autocomplete for python. I installed pynvim as you suggested, but I am having issues. Let's say I have test.py. If i enter im I see the snippet and select import then I try to enter for example pandas. No autocomletion. Is that normal? or am I doing something wrong.

[@williambillemeyling5647]

When I press ctrl-n in insert mode and nvim-cmp does not have any suggestions then it seems that I get completions from neovim directly (at least it is not the same interface as nvim-cmp). More specifically I get a message saying "-- Keyword completion (^N^P) match 1 of 45", and a dropdown menu with all buffer symbols (but it is not nvim-cmp formatted). Does anyone know why and how to possibly disable it?

[@returned_to_monke8872]

Yeah I'm also getting this behavior. Apparently it's the default vim and neovim behavior. I don't know why chris wasn't getting it :(

[@kikocastroneto]

For people having issues after packer installs the plugins from completion branch: My WSL environment (Ubuntu) had Neovim release 0.6. I follow along other tutorial video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKjEoaupm99_ntE) to download, extract and create a symbolic link to latest nvim release, and now it is working

[@gadefox]

I've got few questions: 1) stylua vs lua-format: What's the diff. and which one is better? selene vs sumneko-lua: What's the diff. and which one is better? Ta

[@chrisatmachine]

stylua is better supported afaik, sumneko is a full blown language server with completions, inlay hints, diagnostics etc.. selene is just a linter/diagnostics tool

[@josefvanniekerk9658]

After taking the steps in this video, it seems the only file type I'm getting completion for is for .lua, is this correct? I tried some completion in .html and .js, but I don't even get buffer completion there.

[@josefvanniekerk9658]

Found the issue, it was relating to the loading order of my files. In init.lua, I wrote a small script to load my .lua files and plugins was accidentally loaded last. Make sure you load your packer script first.

[@gunnerjoe53]

Hello, Still having issues with this plugin. When editing a file I'll get the following error at bottom of the terminal: cmp.lua:78: attempt to index global 'kind_icons' (a nil value) Not sure what that is about, any ideas? Thanks, Joe

[@gunnerjoe53]

Commented out the vim_item.kind and completion is working now. I'm guessing I don't have something installed correctly for the kind_icons to work properly. Ideas? Thanks, Joe

[@wormholecowboy]

Does anyone know how to get cmp for random node modules from npm?

[@beastOfVengeance]

is there any feature to disable ghost texts while writing comments....?

@@brachysm Hey man not sure if you have fixed it yet. But you gotta make sure that your terminal is acutally using the installed nerd font. Hope that solves it for you!
