nvim-cmp Buffer Lines is a completion source for nvim-cmp that provides a source for all the lines in the current buffer. This is especially useful for C programmers. It uses tree-sitter if you have it installed on your system. tree-sitter is optional but recommended.
require "packer".startup(function(use)
use "amarakon/nvim-cmp-buffer-lines"
end)require "cmp".setup {
sources = {

name = "buffer-lines",
option = { … }
}
}

You can use this source for searching for patterns in the command-line. I recommend using it in conjunction with cmp-buffer for a bread-and-butter combination. The following code block is the configuration I use and recommend.
-- Enable `buffer` and `buffer-lines` for `/` and `?` in the command-line
require "cmp".setup.cmdline({ "/", "?" }, {
mapping = require "cmp".mapping.preset.cmdline(),
sources = {
{
name = "buffer",
option = { keyword_pattern = [[\k\+]] }
},
{ name = "buffer-lines" }
}
})-- Only enable `buffer-lines` for C and C++
require "cmp".setup.filetype({ "c", "cpp" }, {
sources = {
{ name = "buffer-lines" }
}
})- Automatically update the source
- Cut comments from lines
- Test it to prove it works in all use cases
- Find a more efficient implementation with tree-sitter or LSP (Language Server Protocol)
- Omit duplicate lines
- Add an option to show line numbers
- Show indentation level in the completion menu, but not when selecting or confirming
- Add an option to choose the maximum indentation level lines will be shown
- Make the plugin more efficient for editing large files
- Add an option to set a file size limit
- Add configuration options
- Add syntax highlighting
- Use the current buffer instead of buffer 0
- Add an option to use all buffers
