@@noblesavage149 for some reason, it seems like yt keeps making my comments disappear. So sorry if you see three of them haha. But I have not tried it. I also don't know lisp, so I don't think I would be the right person to explore it.
Nvim surprised me every single day, I can tell that I'm not an expert, (I'm learning how to setup Nvim for myself yet, btw) but things like this inspire me to go on with this beautiful code editor... Great video and job TJ, you're the best.
What a great idea TJ! This is the sort of trials and tribulations that us mere mortals go through so it is nice to see it from the eye of an experienced "insider" 😀👍
Absolutely amazing video. Entertaining, informative and really well laid out. This content is the bomb! Becoming exposed to the features of nvim by you & the rest of the community is greatly broadening my horizons with respect to developing software. I am greatly appreciative of the effort that you put into this video and your other content. You’re the man, TJ!
what I did in mappings was change for and for . So basically I can scroll words without move fingers almost, and to prevent tab use. ( and for Dvorak users)
Dude, seriously thank you for this video. I love how you go step by step explaining parts of the basic setup and configuration for the plugin (instead of simply copy this, paste that). My migration from completion-nvim to this one was long overdue and this video was just perfect, worked like a charm! Your "explain one plugin, install, setup, config and features" videos are great!
THESE VIDEOS ARE AMAZING, PLEASE NEVER STOP THEM! Huge thanks to you Tj, I was so lost in regards to completion in neovim and this cleared up everything for me!
I would say these videos are useful and fun to watch. I would watch them even if I knew most of the stuff, becoz there's always something I don't know. And you guys are the experts and I always enjoy going more deep which you did in this video. I hope videos like these keep coming! :)
Thanks so much for this, TJ - I learned a ton! A co-worker convinced me to watch this and make the switch from coc and it definitely worked. So happy with the result. Looking forward to more.
This was amazing thank you. I’d love to see you go through your LSP setup, explaining what you do and why. I’m new to lua, so seeing someone explain what is happening makes it way simpler than code diving dot files.
Very very thanks for all the efforts that you guys are putting make such valuable content, from which nvim users like me getting lots of benfits... Thanks you very much.. This is my first comment i am writing in youtube for any of channel.
Just found these - great stuff! My complete wasn't working, turned out to be something unrelated of course, but getting a solid run through of what SHOULD be there and how it hands together really gave me a bunch of confidence with my autocomplete setup; so when it does flake out, I know it's something else I stuffed up in future (hopefully!)
What is your rationale for why tab completion is bad? It feels like a sensible default to me considering it mirrors tab completion in a browser search/address bar. Right now using Ctrl-N in Neovim and tab in my browser has me accidentally opening a new browser windows left and right.
It's about 90% a joke, in general it's just because I like using one key to do one thing (not have tab be overloaded to do 20 different things) and I like using defaults if they are not annoying in nvim. So I think using c-n and c-p is the default and a lot of other menus / items / selections use those within vim, so I think it's good to keep those in mind. But you can use whatever makes you happy :)
Would love to see more Take Tuesdays! Learned a lot from this video already. Would also like to see an explanation on how your configurations in `after/plugin/*.lua` gets auto-loaded
Hey TJ! Thank you for your work, I've learned a lot by watching videos you're created over these years. I have a question: How do I make nvim-cmp source dap on runtime (on debugging). Let's say I'm using python or query django object. So, I want my autocompletion suggest all dynamic fields containing in this object. nvim-dap has this info, but all autocompletion sources suggest only static data. I've tried rcarriga/cmp-dap with no luck. Before I start writing my completion source, can you give me a tip on a ready-to-use solution? Thanks!
Very interesting. thanks TJ. I was able to follow along and got the gh_issues plugin working too. It's interesting that it just shows all the numbers, and you still have to iterate them manually to visually inspect them. This makes me wonder if it might make sense to use telescope as a way to drill down to a single completion item, as it allows to search on keywords that are not part of the ultimate result (e.g. the issue body, which we don't want inserted as a completion), and allows fuzzy searching, of course...
Yeah, you could make a telescope picker that just inserts the selected value and grab all the issues from github as well. It would not be super complicated to do if you already have the gh_issues plugin working!
What an excellent video and series. Thanks for putting all the effort and coming with this greatly explained video. After this I am considering giving nvim-cmp a try for sure.
Thanks for the video! What keys you are entering at 21:07 where the function arguments are added and you can jump between "k", "v" and the end of the function? I can't seem to replicate that behavior.
Hey TJ, you are good at teaching! Thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. How about exploring some wiki plugins? (I saw you are not using vimwiki anymore)
Awesome format, props for the effort it took to prepare this content. Definitely picked a couple of things that I will be taking to my setup. Look forward seeing the upcoming ones!
:h ins-completion - likely just changed the way that I will use completion. I appreciate the heads up. Soon to be former 'tab' user. Seems worth the immediate workflow hit that I'll take getting up to speed.
The gh_issues source is really cool! One thing I was thinking is if it would be possible to set the "kind" (or what it is called) to be the issue title? Such that you can see them all in the menu, instead of the generic "Text". Great video, already looking forward to the next :)
Ah! Colorbuddy would be fun to do :) I'd have to clean up some code for it I think, but it'd be a good one to revisit. Thanks, I am adding it to the list!
To get the auto import going i had to update the capabilities with `require("cmp_nvim_lsp").update_capabilities(vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities())` and add them to the lsp servers capabilites in it's setup. Everything else works great thank's for the in depth explanation.
Hey TJ, can you help me understand why nvim-lsp and it's associated ecosystem setups are really much more hands on (or maybe I'm doing it wrong) as compared to CoC. I have had to install everything from source as my org runs RHEL7.8 so I didn't even have node, rust, lua stuff. And on the two occasions I tried to setup nvim-lsp, it just took too long without having root access. Any words of advice?
Side note... I'm not a career programmer. I'm an electronics engineering, but just have lot of python stuff to develop for certain chip testing automation
@@teej_dv Its actually allowed me to make an even more streamlined setup file, cause all node modules can be consolidated and initialised in a specific dedicated location rather than have each user of my .rc have to CocInstall
Hi @TJ DeVries great content. I implemented some of your code but I had super TAB and I feel more easy to use it. Would be awesome if you could do a small video explaining with detail why you think using tab is not a good idea. Thanks!
I use expressline, but I think there are a lot of new lua statuslines that are easier to use. I think just google "github neovim lua statusline" and pick one that looks good and has stars. I don't have a lot of great opinions on the matter.
Hi TJ, great video. I'm using nvim-cmp as well and it is great. I use it for Rust. I wonder if there is a way for us to order the code completion suggestions, for example, I want to see variable names before I see method names?
Yeah! You could create a new thing for comparators. See a plugin like this: github.com/lukas-reineke/cmp-under-comparator to show you how you could do that.
@@tokiomutex4148 That is a great way to say it. In general, if the default shortcuts are not TERRIBLE, then I recommend keeping them the way they are. Often times other things will eventually make sense and it prevents you from overriding any other builtin workflows.
@@teej_dv The default shortcuts are well designed unlike my naive configuration which may overwrite (useful) default behavior that I was not aware of at the time of writing.

First time watching a video from you (I knew about you, but I always thought your videos and explanations would be too advanced for me 😛) But, GREAT video! Very nice and detailed explanation. I subscribed and I hope I see more videos of this format 🙂
Hey i've noticed that when u changed your config you run some tj#save_and_exec and that just reload your config, how can i reload with a keybind for lua config files?
Great video, as usual! I was wondering if (in a future video) you could explain in a bit more details for noobs like me what the difference/relationship/overlap of treesitter and LSP is. I mean they both do syntax highlighting for example? Should I install both? Sorry I tried reading on it but I got a bit confused
They have different focuses. LSP is focused on project level intelligence, tree-sitter is focused on file level intelligence. In generally tree-sitter is doing the highlighting. You can install both. I have a video somewhere on m channel w/ a brief comparison
"When I type this *octothorp*..." 😆 TJ you're supposed to be a millenial, not a boomer 😛 that's "hashtag" to you haha Regardless, thanks as always TJ. I always learn a ton from your videos! This one in particular was *packed* to the brim with goodies about nvim-cmp, a plugin that I've used for a while but haven't explored the API of very much. I have several ideas now about how to make my Neovim experience even better with nvim-cmp after watching your video 😃. Your work in the Neovim community as always is much appreciated :)
Hello. I find myself quite interested in your anti-Tab POV but you never really showcased your actual work flow. I suppose that does make sense given the scope of this broadcast. That said, can I see your actual autocomplete workflow actually put to use anywhere? I'm really interested in how you quickly and effectively autocomplete and move throughout snippets, etc without Tab. Thanks in advance and all the best.
Hey, great work. I tried to replicate you gh_issues lua file. Unfortunately, I get an error "attempt to index field 'json' (a nil value)" in the "pcall(vim.json.decode..."-line. gh returns the json normaly. Any ideas?
Ah, that requires a newer version of Neovim. I think you can replicate with vim.fn.json_decode instead. And then you may need to schedule the callback (on_exit = vim.schedule_wrap(function() ... end) etc.
@@teej_dv Thanks, yeah I figured out the first part (0.6.x-dev...) will work, but then other stuff gets broken. If I use my own Json decoder it says something like "cant vim echo in callback". I will try the on_exit method. EDIT: Awesome - it works. Thanks again!
Thank you TJ, I have been struggling to know what nvim-cmp and those following plugins does. and why it still need Ultisnips in my case. This video is a Godsend for me. Very understandable, explain what those plugins and config does. *chef kiss
How would anyone use the default config with = cmp.mapping.confirm and select = true? It makes you unable to insert new lines. Am I missing something obvious about completion or new lines or is noone using the default?
Hi TJ, this is the third time I'm posting this question because for some reason yt keeps deleting it. I was wondering whether you're using a different version of gruvbuddy since I can't get the same syntax highlighting as you
Hmm, that's pretty weird -- do you have tree sitter installed? If so and it's not working, make an issues on my github for one of the repos and we can see if we could fix it.
My dude, excellent video. I see you use your custom plugin to modify the window colors, how do that I that vanilla wise without your plugin? Things like "Method, "Class", etc.. has this ugly highlighting and I have no idea where its coming from.
Excellent. Looking forward to many more episodes of TakeTuesday. My most lacking area of (neo)vim is the native ft-plugins it comes with. No idea how any of that works, and didn't find the builtin docs to be too helpful (I say this lightly because I probably didn't look in the right place or gave it enough of my time).

I have a video almost done for comment.nvim and then the next videos will be about LuaSnip!
@@teej_dv thats exciting ty!
This is very nice, If I can request debugging and debugging UI and how to work with Debug Adapter Protocols
I've added nvim-dap to my list of plugins to cover :)
How would anyone use the default config with = cmp.mapping.confirm and select = true? It makes you unable to insert new lines. Am I missing something obvious about completion or new lines or is noone using the default?
I think it's only applicable when the completion menu is visible (so after it's not visible anymore, enter makes you do a new line)
I am finding very difficult to add jump to next or previous placeholder. Help me Brother
you are a great teacher،
Would it be possible to enabled the gh completion for comments within file to allow referencing issue numbers in Todo comments for example?
I think someone actually did that already on github! I It's like cmp-git or something like that.
@@teej_dv thanks!!!
this is really great sir . we also want a video on telescope.nvim
hehe a bit too self promotion for the first one, but I will keep that in mind :)
Really good video thanks!
Amazing format buddy ✌🏽
Thanks :) I am enjoying it!
Hi TJ, this is the third time I'm posting this question because for some reason yt keeps deleting it. I was wondering whether you're using a different version of gruvbuddy since I can't get the same syntax highlighting as you
Hmm, that's pretty weird -- do you have tree sitter installed? If so and it's not working, make an issues on my github for one of the repos and we can see if we could fix it.
Can we embed AI to process our voices, and speak with the computer through Neovim, like Iron Man, or it's only about Spider Man things?
If I find a plugin that can do that, I will make a video :)
Looking forward to more of these 🙌
My dude, excellent video. I see you use your custom plugin to modify the window colors, how do that I that vanilla wise without your plugin? Things like "Method, "Class", etc.. has this ugly highlighting and I have no idea where its coming from.
you can just use the basic ":highlight HighlightGroupName guifg=red guibg=blue" or whatever you want to do for those.
@@teej_dv Thanks so much for this! turns out the nvim theme was a bit jacked up
What keyboard are you using?
I've got a dactyl!
Excellent. Looking forward to many more episodes of TakeTuesday.
My most lacking area of (neo)vim is the native ft-plugins it comes with. No idea how any of that works, and didn't find the builtin docs to be too helpful (I say this lightly because I probably didn't look in the right place or gave it enough of my time).
Thanks for all your work TJ, it really does make a difference to us, that watch, and aren't so tied up with the development and ecosystem of what is neovim.
Maybe check ":help ftplugin". That might be helpful.
Thank you so much for this video!
So glad you liked it!
Thanks for this video. I found this helpful.
Luasnip next please 🙏
