todo: fuzzy matching

+1

Also should be able to customize the match function. Also could be async so that I could use other languages like golang for better fuzzy matching.

For asyncomplete I'm internally using https://github.com/tpope/vim-haystack filter function but haven't pushed it to public yet.

I have a simple implementation.

But the flikering feels terrible for remote terminal user, due to nvim's builtin popup menu filtering.

[roxma]

I'm planning on an attempt to use the completefunc to tune the NCM core implementation to reduce the flickering. I'm not sure it's gonna work, though.

[roxma]

The flickering could be fixed with completefunc implementation.

But I feel cursor flickering at the right bottom corner of the popup menu, though, it cannot be seen in this screencast. I don't know how to fix this.

Update screencast for cursor flickering

nice work 👍

[roxma]

Fuzzy matching could be enabled with this setting:

let g:cm_matcher = {'module': 'cm_matchers.fuzzy_matcher', 'case': 'smartcase'}

I'm keeping this issue open until the cursor flickering issue is fixed.

great work!

There's a more intuitive version of fuzzy matching brought by @sassanh , on https://github.com/roxma/nvim-completion-manager/pull/80

let g:cm_matcher = {'module': 'cm_matchers.abbrev_matcher'}

EDIT:

This module requires the ag binary from the_silver_searcher

[meain]

let g:cm_matcher = {'module': 'cm_matchers.abbrev_matcher'}

does not work for me. I have ag in the $PATH.

[sassanh]

@meain can you check the logs and see what's going wrong? https://github.com/roxma/nvim-completion-manager/wiki/Trouble-shooting

[meain]

@sassanh Any idea as to what I should be looking for. Also which log file should I be checking?

cat nvim_log_py3_cm_* | grep ERROR

returned nothing

[sassanh]

@meain consider using -i for your grep to make it incasesensitive.

[meain]

@sassanh Still nothing.

[sassanh]

@meain Is ncm working and fuzzy find not working or auto completion doesn't work at all?

[meain]

Just fuzzy not working

[sassanh]

That's strange. If fuzzy raises an error then ncm shouldn't work at all. How are you testing? What you type, what you expect to receive and what you actually get from ncm?

[meain]

@sassanh Sorry, my bad. I was cheching fuzzy matching after setting abbrv matching. It works.
