Source priority

[nexxai]

I want to be able to choose which order suggestions appear based on their source. Specifically, I want any snippets that match to appear higher than anything else, the idea being that if I have a snippet that matches, it's because I manually created one for that specific use case.

What I don't understand is how I'd actually go about setting the order.

In my config, I already have:

snippets = { preset = "luasnip" },
sources = {
      default = { "snippets", "lsp", "path", "buffer" },
},

with "snippets" being at the front of the line, but this seems to make no difference to where the suggestions actually end up.

Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

I believe you can accomplish this with sources.providers.score_offset. See https://cmp.saghen.dev/configuration/reference.html#providers, and #1096.

You may also achieve this with a custom sort function fuzzy.sorts. I'll leave this open since we should probably support a priority system in blink.cmp directly

local source_priority = {
  snippets = 4,
  lsp = 3,
  path = 2,
  buffer = 1
}
  
fuzzy.sorts = {
  function(a, b)
    return source_priority[a.source_id] > source_priority[b.source_id]
  end,
  -- defaults
  'score',
  'sort_text'
}

@Saghen Just to clarify, I had to replace the < comparison in the return statement with a > but otherwise, this seems to work awesome. Leaving this here for anyone else who encounters the same issue until source priority sorting is officially supported.

Thank you so much for all the work you put in to this package! ❤️

Fixed, thank you!
