Problem: scheduling of complete function can be improved
Solution: call user completion functions earlier when just determining
the insertion column (Girish Palya)
This change improves the scheduling behavior of async user-defined
completion functions (such as `F{func}`, `F`, or `'o'` values in the
`'complete'` option), particularly benefiting LSP clients.
Currently, these user functions are invoked twice:
1. First with `findstart = 1` to determine the completion start
position.
2. Then with `findstart = 0` to retrieve the actual matches.
Previously, both calls were executed back-to-back. With this change, the
first call (`findstart = 1`) is performed earlier—before any matches are
gathered from other sources.
This adjustment gives event-driven completion sources (e.g., LSP
clients) more time to send their requests while Vim concurrently
collects matches from other sources like the current buffer.
Not sure about the real-world performance gains, but this approach
should, in theory, improve responsiveness and reduce latency for
asynchronous completions.
To test, try using yegappan LSP client:
```vim
set cpt+=o^10
autocmd VimEnter * g:LspOptionsSet({ autoComplete: false, omniComplete: true })
```
If you prefer to use 'native' auto-completion (without plugins), try the
following configuration:
```vim
set cot=menuone,popup,noselect,nearest
autocmd TextChangedI * InsComplete()
def InsComplete()
if getcharstr(1) == '' && getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1) =~ '\k$'
SkipTextChangedI()
feedkeys("\<c-n>", "n")
endif
enddef
inoremap <silent> <c-e> <c-r>=<SID>SkipTextChangedI()<cr><c-e>
inoremap <silent> <c-y> <c-r>=<SID>SkipTextChangedI()<cr><c-y>
def SkipTextChangedI(): string
set eventignore+=TextChangedI
timer_start(1, (_) => {
set eventignore-=TextChangedI
})
return ''
enddef
inoremap <silent><expr> <tab> pumvisible() ? "\<c-n>" : "\<tab>"
inoremap <silent><expr> <s-tab> pumvisible() ? "\<c-p>" : "\<s-tab>"
```

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
