## What it is
wilder.nvim is a Vim/Neovim plugin that enhances the built-in wildmenu with automatic, customizable suggestions as you type in the command line and search modes. It supports pipelines for customizing suggestion sources and appearance.

## Use cases
- autocomplete vim commands as I type in the cmdline
- get search suggestions while using / in neovim
- customize the look of the wildmenu popup
- cycle through command suggestions with Tab
- build a custom suggestion pipeline for vim cmdline
- replace default wildmenu with a fancier one

## When to avoid
- you want a full fuzzy finder like fzf or telescope for files and buffers
- you don't use the cmdline or search modes frequently
- you need Lua-only configuration stability (Lua config is experimental)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli, search-engine
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: neovim, vim, wildmenu, autocomplete, cmdline, fuzzy-finding, command-line
