Performant, batteries-included completion plugin for Neovim



Warning

This plugin is beta quality. Expect breaking changes and many bugs

Note

The configuration was recently reworked, please read the configuration section for the new schema

Note

If you're on a release tag, ensure you're viewing the README for the latest release

Blink Completion (blink.cmp)

blink.cmp is a completion plugin with support for LSPs and external sources that updates on every keystroke with minimal overhead (0.5-4ms async). It use a custom SIMD fuzzy searcher to easily handle >20k items. It provides extensibility via hooks into the trigger, sources and rendering pipeline. Plenty of work has been put into making each stage of the pipeline as intelligent as possible, such as frecency and proximity bonus on fuzzy matching, and this work is on-going.

blink-cmp-demo.webm

Features

  • Works out of the box with no additional configuration
  • Updates on every keystroke (0.5-4ms async, single core)
  • Typo resistant fuzzy with frecency and proximity bonus
  • Extensive LSP support (tracker)
  • Native vim.snippet support (including friendly-snippets)
  • External sources support (compatibility layer for nvim-cmp sources)
  • Auto-bracket support based on semantic tokens (experimental, opt-in)
  • Signature help (experimental, opt-in)
  • Command line completion
  • Comparison with nvim-cmp

Requirements

  • Neovim 0.10+
  • curl
  • git

Installation

Setting capabilities for nvim-lspconfig:

-- LSP servers and clients communicate which features they support through "capabilities".
--  By default, Neovim supports a subset of the LSP specification.
--  With blink.cmp, Neovim has *more* capabilities which are communicated to the LSP servers.
--  Explanation from TJ: https://youtu.be/m8C0Cq9Uv9o?t=1275
--
-- This can vary by config, but in general for nvim-lspconfig:

{
  'neovim/nvim-lspconfig',
  dependencies = { 'saghen/blink.cmp' },

  -- example using `opts` for defining servers
  opts = {
    servers = {
      lua_ls = {}
    }
  },
  config = function(_, opts)
    local lspconfig = require('lspconfig')
    for server, config in pairs(opts.servers) do
      -- passing config.capabilities to blink.cmp merges with the capabilities in your
      -- `opts[server].capabilities, if you've defined it
      config.capabilities = require('blink.cmp').get_lsp_capabilities(config.capabilities)
      lspconfig[server].setup(config)
    end
  end

 -- example calling setup directly for each LSP
  config = function()
    local capabilities = require('blink.cmp').get_lsp_capabilities()
    local lspconfig = require('lspconfig')

    lspconfig['lua-ls'].setup({ capabilities = capabilities })

Configuration

Default configuration
{
  -- When specifying 'preset' in the keymap table, the custom key mappings are merged with the preset,
  -- and any conflicting keys will overwrite the preset mappings.
  -- The "fallback" command will run the next non blink keymap.
  --
  -- Example:
  --
  -- keymap = {
  --   preset = 'default',
  --   ['<Up>'] = { 'select_prev', 'fallback' },
  --   ['<Down>'] = { 'select_next', 'fallback' },

  --   
  --   -- show with a list of providers
  --   ['<C-space>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.show({ providers = { 'snippets' } }) end },
  --
  --   -- note that your function will often be run in a "fast event" where most vim.api functions will throw an error
  --   -- you may want to wrap your function in `vim.schedule` or use `vim.schedule_wrap`
  --   ['<C-space>'] = { function(cmp) vim.schedule(function() your_behavior end) },
  --
  --   -- optionally, define different keymaps for cmdline
  --   cmdline = {
  --     preset = 'super-tab'
  --   }
  -- }
  --
  -- When defining your own keymaps without a preset, no keybinds will be assigned automatically.

blink.cmp uses a grid-based layout to render the completion menu. The components, defined in draw.components[string], define text and highlight functions which are called for each completion item. The highlight function will be called only when the item appears on screen, so expensive operations such as Treesitter highlighting may be performed (contributions welcome!, for example). The components may define their min and max width, where ellipsis = true (enabled by default), will draw the character when the text is truncated. Setting width.fill = true will fill the remaining space, effectively making subsequent components right aligned, with respect to their column.

Columns effectively allow you to vertically align a set of components. Each column, defined as an array in draw.columns, will be rendered for all of the completion items, where the longest rendered row will determine the width of the column. You may define gap = number in your column to insert a gap between components.

For a setup similar to nvim-cmp, use the following config:

{
  completion = {
    menu = {
      draw = {
        columns = { { "label", "label_description", gap = 1 }, { "kind_icon", "kind" } },
      },
    },
  }
}

Select Nth item from the list

Here's an example configuration that allows you to select the nth item from the list, based on #382:

keymap = {
  preset = 'default',
  ['<A-1>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 1 }) end },
  ['<A-2>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 2 }) end },
  ['<A-3>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 3 }) end },
  ['<A-4>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 4 }) end },
  ['<A-5>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 5 }) end },
  ['<A-6>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 6 }) end },
  ['<A-7>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 7 }) end },
  ['<A-8>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 8 }) end },
  ['<A-9>'] = { function(cmp) cmp.accept({ index = 9 }) end },
},
completion = {
  menu = {
    draw = {
      columns = { { 'item_idx' }, { 'kind_icon' }, { 'label', 'label_description', gap = 1 } },
      components = {
        item_idx = {
          text = function(ctx) return tostring(ctx.idx) end,
          highlight = 'BlinkCmpItemIdx' -- optional, only if you want to change its color
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

How it works

The plugin use a 4 stage pipeline: trigger -> sources -> fuzzy -> render

  1. Trigger: Controls when to request completion items from the sources and provides a context downstream with the current query (i.e. hello.wo|, the query would be wo) and the treesitter object under the cursor (i.e. for intelligently enabling/disabling sources). It respects trigger characters passed by the LSP (or any other source) and includes it in the context for sending to the LSP.
  2. Sources: Provides a common interface for and merges the results of completion, trigger character, resolution of additional information and cancellation. Some sources are builtin: LSP, buffer, path, snippets
  3. Fuzzy: Rust <-> Lua FFI which performs both filtering and sorting of the items
    • Filtering: The fuzzy matching uses smith-waterman, same as FZF, but implemented in SIMD for ~6x the performance of FZF (TODO: add benchmarks). Due to the SIMD's performance, the prefiltering phase on FZF was dropped to allow for typos. Similar to fzy/fzf, additional points are given to prefix matches, characters with capitals (to promote camelCase/PascalCase first char matching) and matches after delimiters (to promote snake_case first char matching)
    • Sorting: Combines fuzzy matching score with frecency and proximity bonus. Each completion item may also include a score_offset which will be added to this score to demote certain sources. The snippets source takes advantage of this to avoid taking precedence over the LSP source. The parameters here still need to be tuned, so please let me know if you find some magical parameters!
  4. Windows: Responsible for placing the menu, documentation and function parameters windows. All of the rendering can be overridden following a syntax similar to incline.nvim. It uses the neovim window decoration provider to provide next to no overhead from highlighting.

Compared to nvim-cmp

Advantages

  • Avoids the complexity of nvim-cmp's configuration by providing sensible defaults
  • Updates on every keystroke with 0.5-4ms of overhead, versus nvim-cmp's default debounce of 60ms with 2-50ms hitches from processing
    • Setting nvim-cmp's debounce to 0ms leads to visible stuttering. If you'd like to stick with nvim-cmp, try yioneko's fork or the more recent magazine.nvim
  • Boosts completion item score via frecency and proximity bonus. nvim-cmp only boosts score via proximity bonus and optionally by recency
  • Typo-resistant fuzzy matching unlike nvim-cmp's fzf-style fuzzy matching
  • Core sources (buffer, snippets, path, lsp) are built-in versus nvim-cmp's exclusively external sources
  • Built-in auto bracket and signature help support

Planned missing features

  • Significantly more testing and documentation
