README

[!WARNING] V2 is under active development with many breaking changes. Consider staying on stable by using branch = 'v1' or version = "1.*" in your lazy.nvim config. See the V1 docs

For V2, blink.lib must be installed via your package manager. See the UPGRADE.md for a detailed migration guide.

Blink Completion (blink.cmp)

Performant, batteries-included completion plugin for Neovim

V1 Documentation · V2 Documentation · Installation · Recipes · Configuration

blink.cmp is a completion plugin with support for LSPs, cmdline, signature help, and snippets. It uses an optional custom fuzzy matcher for typo resistance. It provides extensibility via pluggable sources (LSP, buffer, snippets, etc), component based rendering and dynamic configuration.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bd1e25dd-48b0-4d33-90f4-1468d822f2be

Features

Works out of the box with no additional configuration
Updates on every keystroke (0.5-4ms async, single core)
Typo resistant fuzzy with frecency and proximity bonus
Extensive LSP support (tracker)
Snippet support: native vim.snippet (including friendly-snippets), LuaSnip and mini.snippets
External sources support (community sources and compatibility layer for nvim-cmp sources)
Auto-bracket support based on semantic tokens
Signature help (experimental, opt-in)
Command line completion
Terminal completion (0.11+ only! No source for shell completions exists yet, contributions welcome!)
Comparison with built-in completion
Comparison with nvim-cmp

Installation

Head over to the V1 documentation website for installation instructions and configuration options.

For V2, use the documentation website tracking main.
