It provides asynchronous keyword completion system in the current buffer. Note: deoplete may consume more memory than other plugins do. Improvements in deoplete in comparison to |neocomplete|: 1. Real asynchronous completion behavior like |YouCompleteMe| by default. 2. Uses Python3 to implement sources. 3. Removes legacy interface. 4. Requires |+python3|. ============================================================================== INSTALL *deoplete-install* Note: deoplete requires Neovim(latest is recommended) with Python3 and |+timers| enabled. 1. Extract the files and put them in your Neovim directory (usually `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/`). 2. Execute the ":UpdateRemotePlugins" and restart Neovim. 3. Call |deoplete#enable()| or set "let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup = 1" in your `init.vim` If ":echo has('python3')" returns `1`, then you're done; otherwise, see below. You can enable Python3 interface with pip: > pip3 install neovim Note: deoplete needs neovim-python ver.0.1.8+. You need update neovim-python module. > pip3 install --upgrade neovim < If you want to read for Neovim-python/python3 interface install documentation, you should read |provider-python| and the Wiki. https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-jedi/wiki/Setting-up-Python-for-Neovim You can check the Python3 installation by |:CheckHealth| command. ============================================================================== INTERFACE *deoplete-interface* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VARIABLES *deoplete-variables* *g:deoplete#enable_at_startup* g:deoplete#enable_at_startup Deoplete gets started automatically when Neovim starts if this value is 1. With the default value 0, you cannot use deoplete unless you start it manually. *g:deoplete#complete_method* g:deoplete#complete_method If it is "complete", deoplete use |complete()|. If it is "completefunc", deoplete use |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U|. Note: It changes current 'completefunc' value. If it is "omnifunc", deoplete use |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|. Note: It changes current 'omnifunc' value. Default value: "complete" *g:deoplete#enable_ignore_case* g:deoplete#enable_ignore_case When deoplete looks for candidate completion, this variable controls whether deoplete ignores the upper- and lowercase. If it is 1, deoplete ignores case. Default value: same with your 'ignorecase' value *g:deoplete#enable_smart_case* g:deoplete#enable_smart_case When a capital letter is included in input, deoplete does not ignore the upper- and lowercase. Default value: same with your 'smartcase' value *g:deoplete#enable_camel_case* g:deoplete#enable_camel_case When a capital letter is matched with the uppercase, but a lower letter is matched with the upper- and lowercase. Ex: "foB" is matched with "FooBar" not "foobar". Note: This feature is only available in |deoplete-filter-matcher_fuzzy| or |deoplete-filter-matcher_full_fuzzy|. Default value: 0 *g:deoplete#enable_refresh_always* g:deoplete#enable_refresh_always Deoplete refreshes the candidates automatically if this value is 1. Note: It increases the screen flicker. Default value: 0 *g:deoplete#auto_complete_start_length* g:deoplete#auto_complete_start_length This variable controls the number of the input completion at the time of key input automatically. Note: It is the deprecated option. You should change |deoplete-source-attribute-min_pattern_length|. Default: 2 *g:deoplete#disable_auto_complete* g:deoplete#disable_auto_complete It controls whether you invalidate automatic completion. If it is 1, automatic completion becomes invalid, but can use the manual completion by |deoplete#manual_complete()|. Default value: 0 *b:deoplete_disable_auto_complete* b:deoplete_disable_auto_complete Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#disable_auto_complete|. *g:deoplete#enable_profile* g:deoplete#enable_profile It enables deoplete profile mode. If it is 1, deoplete will print the time information to |deoplete#enable_logging()| logfile. Must be set in init.vim before to start the Neovim. Does not support command line. Default value: 0 *g:deoplete#delimiters* g:deoplete#delimiters Delimiters list. Default value: ['/'] *g:deoplete#max_list* g:deoplete#max_list If the list of candidates exceeds the limit, not all candidates will show up. Default value: 100 *g:deoplete#max_abbr_width* g:deoplete#max_abbr_width If the candidate abbr length exceeds the length it will be cut down. If it is less than equal 0, this feature will be disabled. Default value: 80 *g:deoplete#max_menu_width* g:deoplete#max_menu_width If the candidate menu length exceeds the length it will be cut down. If it is less than equal 0, this feature will be disabled. Default value: 40 *g:deoplete#auto_complete_delay* g:deoplete#auto_complete_delay Delay the completion after input in milliseconds. Requires |+timers| (Neovim 0.1.5) Default value: 50 *g:deoplete#auto_refresh_delay* g:deoplete#auto_refresh_delay Delay the refresh when asynchronous. Default value: 500 *g:deoplete#skip_chars* g:deoplete#skip_chars The list of skip characters in the auto completion. Default value: [] *b:deoplete_skip_chars* b:deoplete_skip_chars Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#skip_chars|. *g:deoplete#keyword_patterns* g:deoplete#keyword_patterns This dictionary records keyword patterns to buffer completion. This is appointed in regular expression string or list every file type. Note: It is Python3 regexp. But "\k" is converted to 'iskeyword' pattern. > let g:deoplete#keyword_patterns = {} let g:deoplete#keyword_patterns.tex = '\\?[a-zA-Z_]\w*' < Default value: in g:deoplete#_keyword_patterns *b:deoplete_keyword_patterns* b:deoplete_keyword_patterns Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#keyword_patterns|. *g:deoplete#omni_patterns* g:deoplete#omni_patterns This dictionary records keyword patterns to Omni completion. This is appointed in regular expression string or list every file type. If this pattern is not defined or empty pattern, deoplete does not call 'omnifunc'. Note: If it is a set, deoplete will call 'omnifunc' directly. So almost deoplete features are disabled. Note: It is Vim regexp. > let g:deoplete#omni_patterns = {} let g:deoplete#omni_patterns.java = '[^. *\t]\.\w*' < Default value: in g:deoplete#_omni_patterns *b:deoplete_omni_patterns* b:deoplete_omni_patterns Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#omni_patterns|. *g:deoplete#sources* g:deoplete#sources It is a dictionary to decide use source names. The key is filetype and the value is source names list. If the key is "_", the value will be used for default filetypes. For example, you can load some sources in C++ filetype. If the value is [], it will load all sources. Default value: {} > " Examples: let g:deoplete#sources = {} let g:deoplete#sources._ = ['buffer'] let g:deoplete#sources.cpp = ['buffer', 'tag'] < *b:deoplete_sources* b:deoplete_sources Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#sources|. It must be the source names list. > " Examples: " In cmdwin, only use buffer source. autocmd CmdwinEnter * let b:deoplete_sources = ['buffer'] < *g:deoplete#ignore_sources* g:deoplete#ignore_sources It is a dictionary to decide ignore source names. The key is filetype and the value is source names list. Default value: {} *b:deoplete_ignore_sources* b:deoplete_ignore_sources Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#ignore_sources|. It must be the source names list. *g:deoplete#member#prefix_patterns* g:deoplete#member#prefix_patterns This dictionary records prefix patterns to member completion. This is appointed in regular expression string or list every file type. If this pattern is not defined or empty pattern, deoplete does not complete member candidates. Note: It is Python3 regexp. Default value: defined in member.py *b:deoplete_member_prefix_patterns* b:deoplete_member_prefix_patterns Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#member#prefix_patterns|. *g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns* g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns This dictionary records keyword patterns to Omni completion. This is appointed in regular expression string or list every file type. If this pattern is not defined or empty pattern, deoplete does not call 'omnifunc'. Note: Some omnifuncs which moves the cursor is not worked. For example, htmlcomplete, phpcomplete, etc... Note: It is Python3 regexp. > let g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns = {} let g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns.ruby = \ ['[^. *\t]\.\w*', '[a-zA-Z_]\w*::'] let g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns.java = '[^. *\t]\.\w*' let g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns.php = \ '\w+|[^. \t]->\w*|\w+::\w*' < Default value: defined in omni.py. *b:deoplete_omni_input_patterns* b:deoplete_omni_input_patterns Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns|. *g:deoplete#omni#functions* g:deoplete#omni#functions It defines a dictionary for omni completion with deoplete: - `keys` consist of filetypes; - `values` consist of either a string containing a single omnifunc or a list with omnifuncs to be used for each filetype. In case there is no omnifunc setting for the current filetype in the dictionary, deoplete will use the 'omnifunc' setting. > let g:deoplete#omni#functions = {} let g:deoplete#omni#functions.ruby = 'rubycomplete#Complete' let g:deoplete#omni#functions.javascript = [ \ 'tern#Complete', \ 'jspc#omni' \] < Note: It supports context filetype feature instead of 'omnifunc'. You can call the omnifunc in the embedded language. Note: For omnifunctions to work with deoplete, it's necessary to setup the g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns setting. *b:deoplete_omni_functions* b:deoplete_omni_functions Buffer local variable of |g:deoplete#omni#functions|. *g:deoplete#file#enable_buffer_path* g:deoplete#file#enable_buffer_path If it is 1, file source complete the files from the buffer path instead of the current directory. Default value: 0 *g:deoplete#tag#cache_limit_size* g:deoplete#tag#cache_limit_size It sets file size to make a cache of a file in tag source. If a tag file is bigger than this size, deoplete does not make the tag file cache. Default value: 500000 *g:deoplete#buffer#require_same_filetype* g:deoplete#buffer#require_same_filetype If it is zero, deoplete collects keywords from buffers of any filetype Default value: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FUNCTIONS *deoplete-functions* *deoplete#initialize()* deoplete#initialize() Initialize deoplete and sources. Note: You should call it in |VimEnter| autocmd. User customization for deoplete must be set before initialization of deoplete. *deoplete#enable()* deoplete#enable() Enable deoplete auto completion. Note: It changes the global state. Note: It does not work in lazy loading. You should use |g:deoplete#enable_at_startup| instead. *deoplete#disable()* deoplete#disable() Disable deoplete auto completion. Note: It changes the global state. *deoplete#toggle()* deoplete#toggle() Toggle deoplete auto completion. Note: It changes the global state. *deoplete#custom#set()* deoplete#custom#set({source-name}, {option-name}, {value}) Set {source-name} source specialized {option-name} to {value}. You may specify multiple sources with separating "," in {source-name}. If {source-name} is "_", sources default option will be change. Note: You must call it before using deoplete. > " Examples: " Use head matcher instead of fuzzy matcher call deoplete#custom#set('_', 'matchers', ['matcher_head']) " Use auto delimiter feature call deoplete#custom#set('_', 'converters', \ ['converter_auto_delimiter', 'remove_overlap']) call deoplete#custom#set('buffer', 'min_pattern_length', 9999) " Change the source rank call deoplete#custom#set('buffer', 'rank', 9999) " Enable buffer source in C/C++ files only. call deoplete#custom#set('buffer', 'filetypes', ['c', 'cpp']) " Disable the candidates in Comment/String syntaxes. call deoplete#custom#set('_', \ 'disabled_syntaxes', ['Comment', 'String']) " Change the truncate width. call deoplete#custom#set('javacomplete2', \ 'max_abbr_width', 20) call deoplete#custom#set('javacomplete2', \ 'max_menu_width', 80) " Disable the truncate feature. call deoplete#custom#set('javacomplete2', \ 'max_abbr_width', 0) call deoplete#custom#set('javacomplete2', \ 'max_menu_width', 0) " Change the source mark. call deoplete#custom#set('buffer', 'mark', '*') " Disable the source mark. call deoplete#custom#set('omni', 'mark', '') " Enable jedi source debug messages " let g:deoplete#enable_profile = 1 " call deoplete#enable_logging('DEBUG', 'deoplete.log') " call deoplete#custom#set('jedi', 'debug_enabled', 1) < *deoplete#enable_logging()* deoplete#enable_logging({level}, {logfile}) Enable logging for debugging purposes. Set {level} to "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARNING", "ERROR", or "CRITICAL". {logfile} is the file where log messages are written. Messages are appended to this file. Each log session will start with "--- Deoplete Log Start ---". Note: You must enable |deoplete-source-attribute-debug_enabled| to debug the sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEY MAPPINGS *deoplete-key-mappings* *deoplete#manual_complete()* deoplete#manual_complete([{sources}]) Use this function with |:inoremap| (|:map-expression|). It calls the completion of deoplete. You can use it with custom completion setups. You can provide a list of {sources}: It can be the name of a source or a list of sources name. Note: It blocks your neovim. If you want to trigger deoplete manually, see also |g:deoplete#disable_auto_complete|, which should be 1 then typically. > inoremap \ pumvisible() ?

"\" endfunction < ============================================================================== SOURCES *deoplete-sources* buffer *deoplete-source-buffer* It collects keywords from current buffer and the current tabpage windows buffers and the opened buffers which have same 'filetype'. Note: It does not collect keywords from not loaded buffer. For example, if you open file by "nvim A B". A is already loaded, but B is not loaded. So buffer source cannot collect the keywords in B until you switch to buffer B. Note: It takes time to get the candidates in the first time if you want to edit the large files(like Vim 22000 lines eval.c). member *deoplete-source-member* It collects members from current buffer. tag *deoplete-source-tag* It collects keywords from |ctags| files. Note: It only supports UTF-8 encoding tag file. file *deoplete-source-file* This source collects keywords from local files. omni *deoplete-source-omni* This source collects keywords from 'omnifunc'. Note: It is not asynchronous. dictionary *deoplete-source-dictionary* This source collects |g:deoplete#keyword_patterns| keywords from 'dictionary'. around *deoplete-source-around* This source collects candidates around the cursor, so inside current buffer only. Plus, it searches keywords in |:changes| command output. Therefore, this source is about to provide the words that are in sight or the ones you've just typed somewhere else. Legend: You can see where the words came from. Next to the source mark [~] these suffixes are used: A - above the cursor B - below the cursor C - in changes ============================================================================== FILTERS *deoplete-filters* *deoplete-filter-matcher_default* Default matchers: ['matcher_length', 'matcher_fuzzy'] You can change it by |deoplete#custom#set()|. *deoplete-filter-sorter_default* Default sorters: ['sorter_rank']. You can change it by |deoplete#custom#set()|. *deoplete-filter-converter_default* Default converters: ['converter_remove_overlap', 'converter_truncate_abbr', 'converter_truncate_menu']. You can change it by |deoplete#custom#set()|. *deoplete-filter-matcher_head* matcher_head Head matching matcher. *deoplete-filter-matcher_fuzzy* matcher_fuzzy Fuzzy matching matcher. *deoplete-filter-matcher_full_fuzzy* matcher_full_fuzzy Full fuzzy matching matcher. It accepts partial fuzzy matches like YouCompleteMe. *deoplete-filter-matcher_length* matcher_length Length matching matcher. It removes candidates shorter than or equal to the user input. *deoplete-filter-sorter_rank* sorter_rank Matched rank order sorter. The higher the head matched word or already selected. *deoplete-filter-sorter_word* sorter_word Word order sorter. *deoplete-filter-converter_remove_overlap* converter_remove_overlap It removes overlapped text in a candidate's word. *deoplete-filter-converter_auto_delimiter* converter_auto_delimiter It adds delimiter characters in a candidate's word. *deoplete-filter-converter_auto_paren* converter_auto_paren It adds parentheses character in a candidate's word. It is useful if you use |neopairs| or |neosnippet| plugins. *deoplete-filter-converter_remove_paren* converter_remove_paren It removes parentheses character in a candidate's word. *deoplete-filter-converter_truncate_abbr* converter_truncate_abbr It truncates a candidate's abbr by the current window width. *deoplete-filter-converter_truncate_menu* converter_truncate_menu It truncates a candidate's menu by the current window width. ============================================================================== CREATE SOURCE *deoplete-create-source* To create source, you should read default sources implementation in rplugin/python3/deoplete/source/*.py. The files are automatically loaded and deoplete creates new Source class object. Source class must extend Base class in ".base". Note: The sources must be created by Python3 language. Note: If you call Vim functions in your source, it is not asynchronous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOURCE ATTRIBUTES *deoplete-source-attributes* *deoplete-source-attribute-__init__* __init__ (Function) Source constructor. It is always called in initializing. It must call super() constructor. This function takes {self} and {vim} as its parameters. *deoplete-source-attribute-name* name (String) (Required) The name of a source. *deoplete-source-attribute-filetypes* filetypes (List[str]) (Optional) Available filetype list. If you omit it, this source available in all filetypes. *deoplete-source-attribute-rank* rank (Integer) (Optional) Source priority. Higher values imply higher priority. If you omit it, it is set 100. Note: It is high priority than match position. *deoplete-source-attribute-limit* limit (Integer) (Optional) If the buffer is bigger than this limit, the source will disable the completion. If it is 0, it is disabled. If you omit it, it is set 0. *deoplete-source-attribute-min_pattern_length* min_pattern_length (Integer) (Optional) Required pattern length for completion. If you omit it, it is set "2" value. *deoplete-source-attribute-max_pattern_length* max_pattern_length (Integer) (Optional) Ignored pattern length for completion. It is useful to edit BASE64 files. If you omit it, it is set "80" value. *deoplete-source-attribute-max_abbr_width* max_abbr_width (Integer) (Optional) If the candidate abbr length exceeds the length it will be cut down. It it is less than or equal 0, it will be disabled. If you omit it, it is set |g:deoplete#max_abbr_width| value. *deoplete-source-attribute-max_menu_width* max_menu_width (Integer) (Optional) If the candidate menu length exceeds the length it will be cut down. It it is less than or equal 0, it will be disabled. If you omit it, it is set |g:deoplete#max_menu_width| value. *deoplete-source-attribute-input_pattern* input_pattern (String) (Optional) If it is matched, deoplete ignores |deoplete-source-attribute-min_pattern_length|. It is useful for omni function sources. Note: If the source set the attribute, it must define |deoplete-source-attribute-get_complete_position| attribute. Note: It is Python3 regexp. If you omit it, this feature is ignored. *deoplete-source-attribute-is_bytepos* is_bytepos (Bool) (Optional) If it is True, |deoplete-source-attribute-get_complete_position| returns byteposition instead of character position. The default is False. It is useful for Vim script to create sources. Because Vim script string uses byte position. Python string uses character position. *deoplete-source-attribute-is_volatile* is_volatile (Bool) (Optional) If it is True, the source depends on the user input. *deoplete-source-attribute-debug_enabled* debug_enabled (Bool) (Optional) If it is True, the debug log feature is enabled in the source. *deoplete-source-attribute-matchers* matchers (List[str]) (Optional) Source default matchers list. If you omit it, |deoplete-filter-matcher_default| is used. *deoplete-source-attribute-sorters* sorters (List[str]) (Optional) Source default sorters list. If you omit it, |deoplete-filter-sorter_default| is used. *deoplete-source-attribute-converters* converters (List[str]) (Optional) Source default converters list. If you omit it, |deoplete-filter-converter_default| is used. *deoplete-source-attribute-disabled_syntaxes* disabled_syntaxes (List[str]) (Optional) Source disabled syntaxes list. If you omit it, this feature is ignored. *deoplete-source-attribute-get_complete_position* get_complete_position (Function) (Optional) It is called to get complete position. It takes {self} and {context} as its parameter and returns complete position in current line. Here, {context} is the context information when the source is called(|deoplete-notation-{context}|). If you omit it, deoplete will use the position using |g:deoplete#keyword_patterns|. Note: |deoplete-source-attribute-is_bytepos| is True, it must return byte position. *deoplete-source-attribute-gather_candidates* gather_candidates (Function) (Required) It is called to gather candidates. It takes {self} and {context} as its parameter and returns a list of {candidate}. If the error is occurred, it must return None. {candidate} must be String or Dictionary contains |deoplete-candidate-attributes|. Here, {context} is the context information when the source is called(|deoplete-notation-{context}|). Note: The source must not filter the candidates by user input. It is |deoplete-filters| work. If the source filter the candidates, user cannot filter the candidates by fuzzy match. *deoplete-source-attribute-on_post_filter* on_post_filter (Function) (Optional) It is called after the candidates are filtered. It takes {self} and {context} as its parameter and returns a list of {candidate}. *deoplete-source-attribute-on_event* on_event (Function) (Optional) It is called when |BufRead|, |BufNewFile|, |BufWritePost| or deoplete is initialized. It is useful to make cache. It takes {self} and {context} as its parameter. *deoplete-source-attribute-on_init* on_init (Function) (Optional) It will be called before the source attribute is called. It takes {self} and {context} as its parameter. It should be used to initialize the internal variables. *deoplete-source-attribute-__* __{name} (Unspecified) (Optional) Additional source information. Note: Recommend sources save variables instead of global variables. {context} *deoplete-notation-{context}* A dictionary to give context information. The followings are the primary information. input (String) The input string of current line. complete_position (Integer) The complete position of current source. complete_str (String) The complete string of current source. candidates (List[dict]) The current candidates. filetype (String) Current 'filetype'. filetypes (List[str]) It contains current 'filetype' and same filetypes and composite filetypes. is_async (Bool) If the gather is asynchronous, the source must set it "True". The below is the example of async deoplete source. If "context['is_async']" is True, the gather_candidates is called repeatedly. > from .base import Base class Source(Base): def __init__(self, vim): super().__init__(vim) self.name = 'async' self.mark = '[async]' self.rank = 1000 self._count = 0 def gather_candidates(self, context): self._count += 1 context['is_async'] = self._count < 10 return [context['input'] + str(self._count)] < ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CANDIDATE ATTRIBUTES *deoplete-candidate-attributes* *deoplete-candidate-attribute-name* word (String) (Required) The completion word of a candidate. It is used for matching inputs. *deoplete-candidate-attribute-abbr* abbr (String) (Optional) The abbreviation of a candidate. It is displayed in popup window. *deoplete-candidate-attribute-kind* kind (String) (Optional) The kind of a candidate. It is displayed in popup window. *deoplete-candidate-attribute-menu* menu (String) (Optional) The menu information of a candidate. It is displayed in popup window. *deoplete-candidate-attribute-info* info (String) (Optional) The preview information of a candidate. If 'completeopt' contains "preview", it will be displayed in |preview-window|. *deoplete-candidate-attribute-dup* dup (Integer) (Optional) If it is non zero, the item will be displayed in the popup menu when an item with the same word is already present. ============================================================================== CREATE FILTER *deoplete-create-filter* To create filter, you should read default filters implementation in rplugin/python3/deoplete/filter/*.py. The files are automatically loaded and deoplete creates new Filter class object. Filter class must extend Base class in ".base". Note: The filters must be created by Python3 language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FILTER ATTRIBUTES *deoplete-filter-attributes* *deoplete-filter-attribute-__init__* __init__ (Function) Source constructor. It will be called in initializing. It must call Base constructor.

Faster. https://github.com/php-vim/phpcd.vim ============================================================================== VIM8 ASYNC API SUPPORT *deoplete-vim8* Current deoplete does not support Vim8 asynchronous API. To support Vim8, neovim-python compatible API is needed. I have not plan to create it. But if it is created, I will support it. Q: Why neovim-python compatible API is needed? Vim8 already implements asynchronous API. It optimize your plugins, doesn't it? Q: Why neocomplete/unite.vim does not support Vim8 asynchronous API? A: Vim8 asynchronous API (or neovim job API) does replace vimproc plugin. No more vimproc dependency. But it does not optimize my plugins. To optimize my plugins, I must rewrite the plugins and most functions must be executed in the separated process. It is hard way though, it is already done. Yes, it is deoplete! Q: Why does not use the external interfaces? A: Current all external interfaces block your Vim. The neovim remote plugin feature is not. Q: Why neovim remote plugin is better? A: It is the separated process and easy to communicate with Vim like the external interfaces. I think it is the killer feature in neovim. It is not well known though. Q: neovim-python compatible API can be implemented by Vim8 async API? A: Yes. Vim8 implements JSON RPC. I think you can create Python-Vim input/output interface using JSON RPC. It is like MessagePack-RPC in neovim. Q: Why don't you implement neovim-python compatibility API using Vim8 JSON RPC? A: I have not much time. You can implement it. Why do I need to implement the feature? neovim remote plugin feature already works! It should be implemented by needed person. ============================================================================== FAQ *deoplete-faq* Q: What is the "dark powered"? A: I think text editor is everything in the world. I want to do everything in Vim(neovim) like Emacs. It is not allowed by |design-not| in Vim. It is not the light way to use Vim. So I have defined it is the dark way. I am the dark Vimmer. My plugins are dark powered. Q: deoplete can support Vim8? A: |deoplete-vim8| Q: deoplete is slow. A: Please change |g:deoplete#auto_complete_delay| value. It is huge delay value intentionally. And some sources slow. You should check what is the slow. Q: deoplete does not work. A: 1. Please update neovim to latest version. 2. Please update neovim python3 module to latest version. > $ sudo pip3 install neovim --upgrade < 3. Please execute ":UpdateRemotePlugins" or ":NeoBundleRemotePlugins" (for using NeoBundle) command manually. 4. Please check if Python3 interface works. You can check it by ":echo has('python3')" command. https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Troubleshooting#python-support-isnt-working 5. Please enable debug mode from command line and upload the log file. > $ export NVIM_PYTHON_LOG_FILE=/tmp/log $ export NVIM_PYTHON_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG $ neovim ... Use deoplete $ cat /tmp/log_{PID} Q: I want to get quiet messages in auto completion. A: You can disable the messages through the 'shortmess' option. > if has("patch-7.4.314") set shortmess+=c endif < Q: I want to look selected function's arguments in deoplete. But I don't like preview window feature. A: You can do it by |echodoc|. http://github.com/Shougo/echodoc.vim Q: I want to use auto select feature like |neocomplete|. A: You can use it by the 'completeopt' option. > set completeopt+=noinsert Q: I want to disable the auto completion for certain filetypes. A: Please use |b:deoplete_disable_auto_complete|. > autocmd FileType tex let b:deoplete_disable_auto_complete = 1 Q: Ruby omni completion does not work in neovim. A: Ruby omni completion support was added to nvim 0.1.5. For it to work you will need to install the neovim gem. https://github.com/alexgenco/neovim-ruby $ gem install neovim Q: I want to use C/C++ omni completion with deoplete. A: You can use |clang_complete| or |deoplete-clang|. https://github.com/Rip-Rip/clang_complete https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-clang For clang_complete configuration is below. > let g:clang_complete_auto = 0 let g:clang_auto_select = 0 let g:clang_omnicppcomplete_compliance = 0 let g:clang_make_default_keymappings = 0 "let g:clang_use_library = 1 Current clang_complete supports the original deoplete source. It is better than using omni source. Q: I want to use head matcher instead of fuzzy matcher. A: > " Use head matcher instead of fuzzy matcher call deoplete#custom#set('_', 'matchers', ['matcher_head']) Q: Is deoplete faster than neocomplete? A: No. Deoplete is asynchronous completion plugin. But it does not mean that it is faster than neocomplete. It can skip the completion if you input the characters too fast. I think it is great than the speed. You should use faster machine for deoplete. Q: I want to complete AAA using deoplete. A: You can create the source for it. Why don't create the source if you need? Q: I want to use jedi-vim omni completion with deoplete. A: You should install deoplete-jedi instead of jedi-vim. > https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-jedi Q: When I press enter, neovim close the popup instead of inserting new line. A: It is Vim/neovim's default behavior (feature.) If you want to insert the new line, you should map . > inoremap =my_cr_function() function! s:my_cr_function() abort return deoplete#close_popup() . "\" endfunction Q: I want to use "vim-lua-ftplugin". https://github.com/xolox/vim-lua-ftplugin A: Please set the config as below. > let g:lua_check_syntax = 0 let g:lua_complete_omni = 1 let g:lua_complete_dynamic = 0 let g:lua_define_completion_mappings = 0 let g:deoplete#omni#functions.lua = 'xolox#lua#omnifunc' "let g:deoplete#omni#functions.lua = 'xolox#lua#completefunc' < Q: I want to disable buffer source. A: You can use |g:deoplete#ignore_sources|. > let g:deoplete#ignore_sources = {} let g:deoplete#ignore_sources._ = ['buffer'] Q: I want to complete go candidates. A: You should install deoplete-go source. https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-go Q: I want to complete the candidates from other files. https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/issues/133 A: You must install context_filetype plugin. https://github.com/Shougo/context_filetype.vim And you must set |g:context_filetype#same_filetypes| variable. Q: I want to close the preview window after completion is done. A: > autocmd CompleteDone * silent! pclose! Note: It conflicts with iabbr. https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/issues/234 Q: I want to see the typed word in the completion menu. A: You should remove |deoplete-filter-matcher_length| from the matchers. > call deoplete#custom#set('_', 'matchers', ['matcher_fuzzy']) < Q: How to prevent auto bracket completion? https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/issues/150 A: > call deoplete#custom#set('_', 'converters', \ ['converter_remove_paren']) Q: What is the difference of |g:deoplete#omni_patterns| and |g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns| ? A: g:deoplete#omni_patterns is: * can call all omni functions * called by Vim * Vim regexp g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns is: * cannot call some omni functions * can use deoplete features * called by deoplete * Python3 regexp You should use |g:deoplete#omni#input_patterns| if possible. Q: deoplete cannot complete filename after "=". A: It seems 'isfname' contains "=". You should remove it. > set isfname-== Q: Deoplete does not work with vim-multiple-cursors. A: You must disable deoplete when using vim-multiple-cursors. > function g:Multiple_cursors_before() let g:deoplete#disable_auto_complete = 1 endfunction function g:Multiple_cursors_after() let g:deoplete#disable_auto_complete = 0 endfunction Q: The candidates are filtered by first character. https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/issues/288 A: > call deoplete#custom#set('_', 'matchers', ['matcher_full_fuzzy']) < Q: Are there any plans to support GotoDefinition feature like YouCompleteMe?
