Trigger popup with less than 3 characters? #33

Closed adambiggs closed 7 years ago

adambiggs commented 7 years ago

I just moved over from deoplete, and so far this library seems like a big improvement!

Just wondering how I can trigger the completion popup with less the 3 characters. I couldn't find any setting for this in the docs.

Hi, I've just pushed an update for easier settings,

use g:cm_refresh_default_min_word_len (:help g:cm_refresh_default_min_word_len)

If you want all sources to auto trigger popup with 2 characters:

use let g:cm_refresh_default_min_word_len=2

Current default is [[1,4],[7,3]] with the format [ [ min priority, min length ], ... ]

Which means sources with priority between 1 and 6 will have the value of 4, and sources with priority >= 7 will have the value of 3. Priority >= 7 is more semantic completion source, So it's better to use a smaller value to trigger the popup than others.

If you want per value per source, read the documentation and use g:cm_sources_override instead (:help g:cm_sources_override)

By the way, There are users who tend to use longer typing to trigger the popup to keep them from distraction. In this case, I would recommend imap <somekey> <Plug>(cm_force_refresh) to trigger popup manually with short typing.
