I'd been struggling to get CMP working for ages until I watched your video and checked out the code in your Repo. Thank you so much for going through this and helping the community. :)

[michaelcarnevale]

Your tutorials are great man thanks for this will def help me when I transition to lua vim

[jrdicoll]

For anyone having trouble with the documentation, the config has changed, and to get the same window effect, you now must include this code:
window = {
documentation = cmp.config.window.bordered(),
},

Really helpful series, I think everybody should tailor their own config, I believe it makes things more efficient.
Only thing that was stopping me was good guideline, all these documentation was too much too read.
Thank you chris for the series, been a follower since "VIM as an IDE" video. Keep up the good work

Up until this week I've been working on vim. And now I've switched to neovim. I can't even imagine how could I live without it. With this configuration I just love it

[张学尤]

My nvim enlightenment teacher, thanks

[SneakPinePiney]

2 years late but this explanation is still rocking!

[briainodriscoll]

Thanks for these instructional videos Chris. I enjoy your relaxed approach to doing things in the new Lua way. Much appreciated!

[JianClash]

Thank you very much for the help I have been trying to get cmp working for weeks now and all I needed was this 20min video
❤❤❤

[itw]

very helpful series, especially when you just setting nvim up and get bombarded with lot of config

[HernandoFarias]

this is great! thank you for your videos!

[hemanthkotagiri]

Chris, your collection of wallpapers are so good. Please do upload these latest wallpapers to your repo. Thanks!

Any way to order the kinds in LSP ? I'd like to have my variable and method names first on top.

when youre mapping <Tab> and <S-Tab> you use "i" and "s", what they mean ?

[williambillemeyling]

Hey I think it would be nice if you included "Neovim from scratch" in the title of these videos to make it easier for people to recognize. And also I think a lot of people are looking for lua-based neovim tutorial series so I could lead to more views. Ex. "Completion Tutorial 100% Lua | Neovim From Scratch ep. 6" :)

How do I select the second option in a snippet that offers multiple options when using luasnip? Read a bunch of docs but don't see it mentioned

[javalace]

I have a dumb question, in regards to mappings, when using a macbook there is no ALT key, hence I tried the option key, however the result was not what I expected (of course) however I'm struggling to find documentation as to how to do the mappings to the 'option hjkl' (the equivalent to inoremap on vim. Any ideas of where I can find those?
Needles to say your series of neovim from the scratch are 'pure gold' for those of us looking to move towards (n)vim as an ide.
Keep the great work and thanks!

[reverseila]

For your future nerd font video, could you show an example of how to patch a font?

[gunnerjoe]

Hello, Still having issues with this plugin. When editing a file I'll get the following error at bottom of the terminal:
cmp.lua:78: attempt to index global 'kind_icons' (a nil value) Not sure what that is about, any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe

When I press ctrl-n in insert mode and nvim-cmp does not have any suggestions then it seems that I get completions from neovim directly (at least it is not the same interface as nvim-cmp). More specifically I get a message saying "-- Keyword completion (^N^P) match 1 of 45", and a dropdown menu with all buffer symbols (but it is not nvim-cmp formatted). Does anyone know why and how to possibly disable it?
