GitHub - ms-jpq/coq_nvim: Fast as FUCK nvim completion. SQLite, concurrent scheduler, hundreds of hours of optimization.

coq.nvim 🐔

Named after the famous theorem prover

coq also means 鸡 in français québécois, and I guess 🥖.

Fast as FUCK and loads of features.

Faster Than Pure Lua

• Native C in-memory B-trees

• SQLite VM interrupts

• Coroutine based incremental & interruptible scheduler

• TCP-esque flow control

More details at the PERFORMANCE.md

Features

Note: Due to compression, reality is faster than gifs

Fast as fuck

• Results on every keystroke

• Throttling? Never heard of her

• Real time performance statistics

• Look at the gifs! The bottom few are the fastest when I didn't slow down on purpose to show features.

Fuzzy Search

• Typo resistant

• Recency bonus

• Proximity bonus

• Weighted average of relative ranks & ensemble metrics

Error correction: cour -> colour_space, flgr -> flag_group, nasp -> Namespace

Preview

• Press key to view documentation in big buffer

• Auto open preview on side with most space

• Customizable location: n, s, w, e

• Ubiquitous: Tags, LSP, TreeSitter, Paths, Snippets

LSP

• Incremental completion

• Client-side caching

• Multi-server completion (i.e. tailwind + cssls)

• Multi-encoding utf-8, utf-16, utf-32

• Header imports

• Snippet Support

Install the Nvim Official LSP integration

Requires 2 lines of change to support LSP snippets

local coq = require "coq" -- add this

-- legacy style
local lsp = require "lspconfig"
lsp.<server>.setup(<stuff...>)                              -- before
lsp.<server>.setup(coq.lsp_ensure_capabilities(<stuff...>)) -- after

-- new style
vim.lsp.config(<server>, <stuff...>)                              -- before
vim.lsp.config(<server>, coq.lsp_ensure_capabilities(<stuff...>)) -- after
vim.lsp.enable(<server>)

Snippets

• Over 9000 built-in snippets

• 99% of LSP grammar, 95% of Vim grammar

• Linked regions

• Custom snippets with Live Repl

The % statistic comes from compiling the 10,000 snippets

TreeSitter

• Shows context

• Partial document parsing

• Auto-disable if document is too big

• Unicode ready

Treesitter is still unstable in nvim0.5: slow and crash prone

The promise is that Treesitter will have real time parsing on every keystroke, but it's actually too slow on big files.

The Treesitter source only parses a limited number of lines about the cursor and only on Idle events due to unrealized performance promises.

CTags

• LSP like

• Incremental & automatic background compilation

• Non-blocking

Requires Universal CTags, NOT ctags

# MacOS
brew uninstall ctags           # bad
brew install   universal-ctags # good

# Ubuntu
apt remove  ctags              # bad
apt install universal-ctags    # good

Paths

• Preview contents

• $VARIABLE expansion, %EVEN_UNDER_WINDOWS%

• Relative to both cwd and file path

Buffers

• Real time completion

• Fast in files with thousands of lines

Registers

• words Last yank 0 + custom a-z coq_settings.clients.registers.words

• lines coq_settings.clients.registers.lines (a-z)

Tmux

Modular lua sources & external third party integrations

• Tons of built-ins

• External third party plugins too

• Easy to hack

Shown above: shell repl.

Some other built-ins:

• nvim lua API

• vim runtime: ada, c, clojure, css, haskell, html, js, php, syntax

• scientific calculator

• comment banners

• moo!

• vimtex

• orgmode.nvim

• vim dadbod

• nvim-dap

Statistics

:COQ stats

Validating config parser

• Prevents typos & type errors in your config

Here I make a type error on purpose inputting string instead of an integer.

Pretty

• Customizable

If you can't see icons properly:

Either set let g:coq_settings = { 'display.icons.mode': 'none' } to disable icons, or install a supported font

FAQ

Default hotkeys?

Always:

When completion menu is open:

For snippet placeholder navigation, bind vim.snippet.jump(±1) yourself.

When hovering over a result, entering any key [a-z] will select it. This is a vim thing.

LSP too slow to show up on keystroke.

Increase vim.o.autocompletetimeout. This slows feedback on every keystroke.

Or use manual completion (<c-space>), bounded by vim.o.completetimeout.

LSP sometimes not importing

Increase coq_settings.clients.lsp.resolve_timeout. Applying edits gets slower.

Missing Results

On keystroke only coq_settings.match.max_results items are shown. Use the manual completion hotkey to see all.

Nothing like good motivation to improve my design than dumping 1000 results on my client every other keystroke.
