Feature request: Neovim compatibility

[aksrikanth]

The cmatcher works perfectly in vim, but in neovim, it seems to revert back to the default matcher. Is it possible for the cmatcher to work with neovim?

[benesch]

AFAICT it's not a Neovim incompatibility—you just need to install Python plugin support for Neovim:

pip install neovim

(See the Neovim Python quickstart for details.) Talk about an easy fix!

I was seeing no results returned when using cmatcher, and installing the python plugin support worked for me. You can see more with :help nvim-python. I think this issue can be closed.

Can confirm - works in neovim great

Hey all, so I'm having an issue with Neovim. The matcher works great in vanilla vim.

When I load ctrlp all the files appear to be there, however when I begin typing, a 0 shows up where the files usually are. Simply a single 0.

Removing cmatcher makes ctrlp work again.

Here are my custom ctrlp settings.

Double that, I have the same issue.

@kossnocorp try doing ’pip install neovim’ - worked for me

[eyusupov]

@kossnocorp Oh, you also need to run install.sh from the bundle's dir.

[kossnocorp]

@eyusupov heh, hey there! I did both with no luck.

[thegranddesign]

Same with me. Tried that and had to revert to the built in marcher.

I'm getting the same issue. Had vim before and the ctrlp-cmatcher was working great. Then switched to neovim and it doesn't work! I also had to revert to the default matcher (which sucks in comparison).

When I run CheckHealth in neovim everything seems to be fine. It says I have both Python 2 and Python 3 linked, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

[jamesstonehill]

Ah ok I realised my issue! So it turns out that I was compiling the wrong ctrlp-cmatcher. I was trying to install for the one in my .vim/bundle folder. I needed to go into my ~/.config/nvim/bundle directory and find the ctrlp-cmatcher dir there.

Kind of silly I didn't realise this before 😛
