Integrate with FZF for fuzzy search completion items?

[roxma]

Just read an interesting article https://nondev.io/Fuzzy-completion-in-Vim.

I personally don't like fuzzy completion all the time. But it seems useful to introduce another key, that start a FZF menu with current completion items for fuzzy search and completion.

Is it possible to use fzf engine in the autocompletion popup window? That would be really great.

@mrbiggfoot

It is possible.

IMO probably it's not worth the effort. FZF is invoked by process call, and it may slow down the process.

Feel free to try you own implementation for matching/sorting,

There is a small example on writing a matcher for ncm: /~https://github.com/roxma/nvim-completion-manager/blob/master/pythonx/cm_matchers/prefix_matcher.py

This doesn't feels atractive any more.

Closing.

A better option is to improve current fuzzy matching algorithms.
