New Neovim Completion Plugins

Overview

In the previous articles, I walked through with you the Neovim completion setup using completion-nvim and nvim-compe. The Neovim ecosystem is evolving fast and since then there are new and better completion plugins available for developers.

In this article, let’s explore 2 new completion plugins (coq_nvim and nvim-cmp) that you should try!

Neovim LSP and DAP using Lua

Neovim LSP Enhanced

use {
     'ms-jpq/coq_nvim',
     branch = 'coq',
     event = "VimEnter",
     config = 'vim.cmd[[COQnow]]'
}
use {'ms-jpq/coq.artifacts', branch = 'artifacts'}

local nvim_lsp = require('lspconfig')
local coq = require("coq")
for server, config in pairs(servers) do
    nvim_lsp[server].setup(coq.lsp_ensure_capabilities(…
