## What it is
A Neovim plugin written in Lua that adds VS Code-style pictograms to completion menus for LSP items, snippets, and paths. It integrates drop-in with nvim-cmp and vanilla LSP, offering customizable symbol maps and presets requiring Nerd Fonts or VS Code Codicons.

## Use cases
- show icons in neovim completion menu
- make nvim-cmp look like vscode
- add pictograms to lsp autocomplete items
- customize completion kind symbols in neovim
- improve readability of nvim autocomplete menu

## When to choose
- you use nvim-cmp or Neovim's built-in LSP and want visual kind icons
- you want a tiny, dependency-free Lua plugin with customizable symbol maps
- you already use a Nerd Font or VS Code Codicons font

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim 0.7+ or a patched icon font
- you prefer text-only completion menus without icons

## Facets

- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, windows
