Description

completion is not available for regular filetypes, but only avaliable on filetype which has been configured with lsp. In my case, c/cpp files have completion.

Steps to reproduce

using configuration I provided and open regular file type like txt or markdown, no completion is available.

Expected behavior

completion is available for regular filetypes.

Actual behavior

completion is not available for regular filetypes, like .txt, markdown.

Additional context

No response

[qaptoR]

I can use the snippet autocomplete commands to resolve a snippet once it's fully written out, but there is no autocomplete menu when typing to see the snippets. This is in a markdown file.

the same applies to me

Hm... Your source configuration seems broken. Please check your buffer source configuration.

The configuration I used comes from the github README, I perfume it was right. Would you kindly point out where the problem is?😂

[Shougo]

OK. I get it.

runtime! after/plugin/*.lua is required in your vimrc. This is needed to load sources.

NOTE: I don't know why it does not work with vim-plug. vim-plug adds after plugins to rtp. Your vim-plug may be old.

Thanks, it helps a lot!
