nvim-compe is an open-source Lua autocompletion plugin for Neovim that provides intelligent coding suggestions from multiple sources. It integrates with Neovim's Language Server Protocol client to deliver context-aware completions, documentation, and snippet expansion. The plugin supports suggestions from open buffers, file paths, Lua code, tags, and external completion providers. Its fuzzy matching algorithm identifies relevant results even when users enter abbreviated or incomplete names. Developers can configure source priorities, completion timing, keyboard mappings, and documentation windows. A flexible source API enables custom completion integrations with additional plugins. It supports advanced LSP features, including trigger characters and complex completion item expansion. The project is deprecated and has been succeeded by nvim-cmp.
