Readme!

1. There is a Github issue that documents breaking changes for nvim-cmp. Subscribe to the issue to be notified of upcoming breaking changes.
2. This is my hobby project. You can support me via GitHub sponsors.
3. Bug reports are welcome, but I might not fix if you don't provide a minimal reproduction configuration and steps.
4. The nvim-cmp documents is here.

Concept

• Full support for LSP completion related capabilities
• Powerful customizability via Lua functions
• Smart handling of key mapping
• No flicker
