Example file

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\begin{document}

% \(<cursor_here>\)
\(\)

\end{document}

When I put the cursor between \(\), and write mrm, there is no completion suggestion. If I write mrm (with space before), there is.

Hovewer, if in the snippet file I set the options to iA instead of i (to expand automatically), the snippet is expanded, which IMO indicates that cmp-nvim-ultisnips passes whether to show snippet or not to the cmp wrongly.

Thanks for reporting.

[anstadnik]

Aha, I just understood that it might be wrong handling of the i parameter (in-word expansion), and not the context thing.

We would need to change the keyword pattern for this. As I understood it, this is a Vim regex that the line needs to match in order to trigger completion of a completion item.

https://github.com/quangnguyen30192/cmp-nvim-ultisnips/blob/21f02b62deb409ce69928a23406076bd0043ddbc/lua/cmp_nvim_ultisnips/source.lua#L17-L19

However changing it to something like "\\.\\*" which should match any characters does not work for whatever reason (the snippet won't even show up then). PR / suggestions welcome.

Any workaround or solution?

[smjonas]

I thought about this a but more and came to the conclusion that the keyword_pattern is not the issue. The problem is that cmp will not invoke completion when typing directly after an existing word.

Let's say that you have a snippet with mrm as the trigger. Also assume that this is the buffer content and | is the cursor position:

end|

Currently, nvim-cmp will only show words that contain all of the characters in end. This is why the mrm snippet will not be suggested.

So what nvim-cmp needs to support is the following: After endm| was typed, besides the words e, en, end and endm cmp needs to also match ndm, dm and m. This way, if you have a snippet mdm, it will be suggested because it starts with m.

So I think you should open an issue on nvim-cmp and include this as usecase.
