cmp_yanky

cmp-source for yank history (clipboard history) from yanky.nvim.

Installation

-- lazy.nvim
{
	"hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
	dependencies = {
		-- ... other cmp plugins
		"chrisgrieser/cmp_yanky",
	}
},

require("cmp").setup {
	sources = {
		{ 
			name = "cmp_yanky",
			option = {
				-- see below
			}
		},
	},
}

Configuration

-- default values
{
	name = "cmp_yanky",
	option = {
		-- only suggest items which match the current filetype
		onlyCurrentFiletype = false,
		-- only suggest items with a minimum length
		minLength = 3,
	},
}

The number of possible items to be suggested depends on the size of the history. You can change the history size with yanky's ring.history_length option.
