Question 1

How do I install Completor using vim-plug?

Accepted Answer

Add 'Plug 'maralla/completor.vim'' to your .vimrc and run :PlugInstall. For JavaScript support, you can add a post-install hook to run 'make js' in the plugin directory, as shown in the README.

Question 2

Completor vs coc.nvim: which is better for vim8?

Accepted Answer

Completor is lighter and built specifically for vim8's async features, ideal for minimal overhead. coc.nvim is more feature-rich with extensive LSP support, but heavier; choose Completor for simplicity and coc.nvim for comprehensive tools.

Question 3

How to set up Python completion with Jedi in Completor?

Accepted Answer

First, install Jedi globally or in a virtualenv with 'pip install jedi'. Then, in vim, ensure Completor is installed and optionally set 'g:completor_python_binary' to the Python path. Completion should work automatically in Python files.

Question 4

Does Completor work with Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Completor is designed for vim8 and may not fully leverage Neovim's native features or ecosystem. Neovim users often prefer alternatives like coc.nvim or built-in LSP for better integration and performance.

Question 5

How to disable auto-trigger and use Tab for completion in Completor?

Accepted Answer

Set 'let g:completor_auto_trigger = 0' in your .vimrc, then map Tab to 'completor#do('complete')'. The README provides example mappings, including a custom function for intelligent Tab behavior.

Question 6

Can Completor handle multiple snippet engines like UltiSnips and neosnippet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but support varies: UltiSnips is integrated by default if installed, while neosnippet requires an additional plugin called completer-neosnippet, leading to a fragmented setup for snippet completion.

Question 7

What are the performance implications of using LSP in Completor?

Accepted Answer

Enabling LSP adds overhead from running external language servers, but vim8's async features help prevent blocking. Performance depends on the LSP server's efficiency and system resources, with potential delays in large projects.
