LazyVim Plugins

Coding Blink

The Blink is the blink.cmp plugin, a completion plugin for Neovim. It is a fast and lightweight completion plugin that supports LSP and snippets. It is a good choice for those who want to use a lightweight completion plugin.

In LazyVim, Blink is the default completion plugin. You can use it directly without any configuration. The default configuration for blink.cmp is as follows:

opts = {
  snippets = {
    expand = function(snippet, _)
      return LazyVim.cmp.expand(snippet)
    end,
  },
  appearance = {
    -- sets the fallback highlight groups to nvim-cmp's highlight groups
    -- useful for when your theme doesn't support blink.cmp
    -- will be removed in a future release, assuming themes add support
    use_nvim_cmp_as_default = false,
    -- set to 'mono' for 'Nerd Font Mono' or 'normal' for 'Nerd Font'
    -- adjusts spacing to ensure icons are aligned
    nerd_font_variant = "mono",
  },
  completion = {
    accept = {
      -- experimental auto-brackets support
      auto_brackets = {
        enabled = true,
      },
    },
    menu = {
      draw = {
        treesitter = { "lsp" },
      },
    },
    documentation = {
      auto_show = true,
      auto_show_delay_ms = 200,
    },
    ghost_text = {
      enabled = vim.g.ai_cmp,
    },
  },

  -- experimental signature help support
  -- signature = { enabled = true },

  sources = {
    -- adding any nvim-cmp sources here will enable them
    -- with blink.compat
    compat = {},
    default = { "lsp", "path", "snippets", "buffer" },
    cmdline = {},
  },

  keymap = {
    preset = "enter",
    ["<C-y>"] = { "select_and_accept" },
  },
}

Based on this plugins, we can to complete the snippets, LSP, path, buffer and cmdline. And the keymap we can configure by ourself habit.

Colorscheme

we think the tokeynight-night is more beautiful colorscheme for the neovim. So we will to use it as the default colorscheme. Here is the configure:

{
  "LazyVim/LazyVim",
    opts = {
      colorscheme = "tokyonight-night",
    },
}
