Compatibility with blink.cmp completer?
I have seen some posts on Reddit about cmp-vimtex being only used for nvim-cmp. I was using nvim-cmp and cmp-vimtex worked like a charm. I especially liked how it helped me view and complete bib citations. Is there any way to make it work equally well with blink.cmp instead of nvim-cmp? I just switched last week and I tried to also use blink.compat which is supposed to help blink be compatible with source providers for nvim-cmp, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks so much for this plugin. I really like it and I just hope that it can eventually work with blink.cmp because it seems that this is overtaking nvim-cmp as the go-to completer for neovim.
Thank you for contributing this (and in the past)! Unfortunately, I've sort of fallen behind on the Neovim community and haven't really moved to using blink. From a time-management perspective, it seems unlikely that I'll able to, in the future.
I would really like to see this plugin keeping up with current developments, but I just don't have the time. Unless someone contributes to the project I don't I'll be able to.
I completely understand. I would like to contribute but I don’t have the knowledge base to know how to develop a plugin. I do appreciate all the work you put into this for the community.

Hi, I've come from the future to say that the @tienlonghungson config does indeed work for me as well.
Maybe this should be mentioned in the README and tutorial.
Would be nice to know exactly what's essential in there. I guess that's the adding of cmp-nvim as a dependency and source in the Blink setup.
The reddit comment they cited as the source of the solution has a MWE.
I'm not the smartest or the most experienced, but I could contribute to the docs if this is correct (and if there isn't a more fit contributor available).
