Am I the only one who struggle with cmp comparators? I can’t make any setup to work like I want it to work.

Like come on, diagramIds is literally on the line above …

The comparators aren’t even documented: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/issues/883

This is the closest thing I could find to usefull: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/issues/183 but it didn’t help either

How did you manage to cope with this? Is there some reasonable setup for cmp comparators?

    Unfortunately having similar issues. It is okayish, but sometimes I feel like there must be something smarter and more context aware too. But I would kind of take the language servers into account here. Though, the specification provides no scoring mechanism. Only a preselect flag which nvim-cmp already supports.

    At the same time this feels like a quite complicate topic. How to actually sort/compare them? In our special case above you would add something based on symbol usage/definition close to your cursor. Which might be a relevant factor. It would be interesting if there some knowledge/science about what actually works best for such a problem.
