Hi,

neovim/vim8 users out there, if you'd like to have an alternative to deoplete, ncm2 is async and really fast, works out of the box, and it has integration with UltiSnippets to further expand all the arguments of the completion in place. So far, I've been quite satisfied with it, been using for 4 months+, if you're interested check https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2-d out.

Cheers.

Sounds great, like a Xmas message. ;-)
Have to try it out ASAP

Out of curiosity- what are advantages of ncm2 over deoplete?

Hi Anton,

I'd say:

- Completions are populated asynchronously and in parallel, and based on my experience, using deoplete for several months, I feel like the feedback of completion you get from ncm2 is more instantaneous.
- Fully integrates with UltiSnips, so you can have snippets expansions in the arguments of the completion results, which is really nice (you can see this in the GIF of the ncm2-d for example, that my cursor jumps over each argument of the autocompleted function).
- It just works. You don't even have to tweak the settings or variable of sources to start seeing good results. On the other hand, with deoplete you're supposed to tweak a lot of settings, matchers and ranks before getting solid results.
- Integrates nicely with Language servers that you can get results from LanguageClient-neovim, for instance.

If you've never tried it out before, it's definitely worth a try.

looks nice but the behavior is a bit strange, as it suggest also functions which are not imported. E.g.

import std.stdio: writeln;

completion for "wri" also brings up "writef" and all other functions from std.stdio starting with wri ...

Geez, just when I (finally) add D color syntax highlighting to microEmacs, you go and one up me!

sorry - I was wrong! It works as expected :-) - very nice! It probably conflicted with deoplete (or something else) which may still have been in the cache ...

Now, I am wondering how I can trigger "completion" for the signature which doesn't pop up

got it :-) The caveat is that also using ncm2-ultisnips

    inoremap <silent> <expr> <CR> ncm2_ultisnips#expand_or("\<CR>", 'n')

needs to be set after

    inoremap <expr> <CR> (pumvisible() ? "\<c-y>\<cr>" : "\<CR>")

which was a bit random in my case with lazily loading plugins ...

I'm glad you sorted it out, David. If you need further help just file an issue.
