chaincomplete.nvim

This is a completion plugin that leverages on built-in ins-completion, similar to vim-mucomplete.

Each buffer can have its own completion chain, that is made of several completion methods that are tried one after the other, until one produces some results. Chain methods can also be skipped with a mapping.

Autocompletion (completion as you type) is supported but it's not default.

Dependencies

Features

Supported completion methods:

• built-in completion methods (:help ins-completion)
• LSP completion (built-in client)

Optional features:

• autocompletion (as you type)
• function documentation popup (during completion)
• signature help (function parameters)
• custom methods, with handlers based on complete()

---

Quick start

Example mappings:

imap <c-j> <Plug>(ChainComplete)
imap <c-;> <Plug>(ChainAdvance)

Note that autocompletion is disabled by default. To enable it:

:AutoComplete on

or in your vimrc:

vim.g.chaincomplete = { autocomplete = true }

while this will enable it for triggers only:

:AutoComplete triggers

or in your vimrc:

vim.g.chaincomplete = { autocomplete = 'triggers' }

For the rest of the documentation, :help chaincomplete
