## Introduction

NCM2, formerly known as
[nvim-completion-manager](https://github.com/roxma/nvim-completion-manager),
is a slim, fast and hackable completion framework for neovim.

Main features:

1. Fast and asynchronous completion support, with vimscript friendly API.
2. Smart on files with different languages, for example, css/javascript
completion in html style/script tag.
3. Function parameter expansion support using
[ncm2-snippet](https://github.com/topics/ncm2-snippet) plugins.
4. [Language server protocol plugin
integration](https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2/wiki).

Read [our wiki page](https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2/wiki) for a list of
extensions and programming languages support for NCM2.

## Requirements

- `:echo has("nvim-0.2.2")` prints 1. Older versions has not been tested
- `:echo has("python3")` prints 1. This is usually set by
`python3 -m pip install pynvim` in shell and
`let g:python3_host_prog=/path/to/python/executable/` in vimrc.
- Plugin [nvim-yarp](https://github.com/roxma/nvim-yarp)

For vim8 user, read the [nvim-yarp](https://github.com/roxma/nvim-yarp)
README. **Note that vim8 support is simply a bonus. It's not the goal of
NCM2.**

## Install

```vim
" assuming you're using vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug
Plug 'ncm2/ncm2'
Plug 'roxma/nvim-yarp'

" enable ncm2 for all buffers
autocmd BufEnter * call ncm2#enable_for_buffer()

" IMPORTANT: :help Ncm2PopupOpen for more information
set completeopt=noinsert,menuone,noselect

" NOTE: you need to install completion sources to get completions. Check
" our wiki page for a list of sources: https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2/wiki
Plug 'ncm2/ncm2-bufword'
Plug 'ncm2/ncm2-path'
```

## Optional Vimrc Tips

```vim
" suppress the annoying 'match x of y', 'The only match' and 'Pattern not
" found' messages
set shortmess+=c

" CTRL-C doesn't trigger the InsertLeave autocmd . map to instead.
inoremap

" When the key is pressed while the popup menu is visible, it only
" hides the menu. Use this mapping to close the menu and also start a new
" line.
inoremap (pumvisible() ? "\\" : "\")

" Use to select the popup menu:
inoremap pumvisible() ? "\" : "\"
inoremap pumvisible() ? "\" : "\"

" wrap existing omnifunc
" Note that omnifunc does not run in background and may probably block the
" editor. If you don't want to be blocked by omnifunc too often, you could
" add 180ms delay before the omni wrapper:
" 'on_complete': ['ncm2#on_complete#delay', 180,
" \ 'ncm2#on_complete#omni', 'csscomplete#CompleteCSS'],
au User Ncm2Plugin call ncm2#register_source({
\ 'name' : 'css',
\ 'priority': 9,
\ 'subscope_enable': 1,
\ 'scope': ['css','scss'],
\ 'mark': 'css',
\ 'word_pattern': '[\w\-]+',
\ 'complete_pattern': ':\s*',
\ 'on_complete': ['ncm2#on_complete#omni', 'csscomplete#CompleteCSS'],
\ })
```

## How Do I write Ncm2 Source?

One important step is to understand how and when completion gets triggered.
Read `:help ncm2#register_source` carefully, or `:help
ncm2#register_source-example` for quick start.

In case you don't know what tool you should use for async support. Here are
some options available:

- `:help jobstart()`
- [python remote plugin
example](https://github.com/jacobsimpson/nvim-example-python-plugin)
- I myself prefer to use [nvim-yarp](https://github.com/roxma/nvim-yarp)
- Read [ncm2/ncm2-bufword](https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2-bufword) for
example
