Is it possible to lazy load this plugin yet interact with nvim-lspconfig?

[glyh]

I notice that the init script has this line:

    local capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').update_capabilities(vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities())

Where the capabilities are used by another plugin, nvim-lspconfig. So to make this work, I had to load this before nvim-lspconfig, which is itself not lazy-loaded.

However, I want to lazy-loaded this plugin to event InsertEnter. So, is there a workaround? Thanks a lot!

Is lazy loading nvim-cmp really worth it? You'll be entering the insert mode in 99% of editing sessions. I have also measured the execution times of the plugin/cmp.lua script, the lua/cmp/init.lua module, and the cmp.setup call, and they all take ~0.6, ~5 and ~0.2 milliseconds respectively.

While lazy loading a single plugin does not affect the performance much, it can improve when you have a bunch of them...

I agree with @dmitmel. I don't think you will gain much by lazy-loading cmp. Lazy loading makes more sense for plugins that are used rarely / at special events only (like for a specific filetype or command). Entering insert mode is not a special event.

You can try adding this to the nvim-lspconfig use block:

use {
    'neovim/nvim-lspconfig',
    after = { 'nvim-cmp' },
    event = { 'BufRead', 'BufNewFile', 'InsertEnter' },
}
