Menu customization API

Are you using custom window to display completion candidates in cmp or standard vim/nvim one?

[hrsh7th]

Haha, Currently nvim-cmp uses vim's native completion menu.

But my next task after nvim-cmp stabilized is it! I will use a custom completion menu via the floating window. (It realizes custom highlighting.)

Sounds pretty cool! Will there then also be an option to just use the regular neovim completion menu?

Sounds like you'd have to maintain two implementations to do that, one that conforms to the requirements of nvim's completion menu and one to a custom popup. I'm nowhere near the code but seems like it'd be easier to just add configuration options for whatever a person might want to disable/enable rather than implement/maintain both styles

Yeah, that's what I meant

vim.lsp.protocol.CompletionItemKind = {
    '', -- Text          = 1;
    '', -- Method        = 2;
    'ƒ', -- Function      = 3;

    '', -- Operator      = 24;
    '', -- TypeParameter = 25;
}
local cmp = require('cmp')
for index, value in ipairs(vim.lsp.protocol.CompletionItemKind) do
    cmp.lsp.CompletionItemKind[index] = value
end

great i am using it this way to show icon + text

for index, value in ipairs(vim.lsp.protocol.CompletionItemKind) do
    cmp.lsp.CompletionItemKind[index] = value .. ' ' ..  cmp.lsp.CompletionItemKind[index]
end

I've added the API for it. see
