asyncomplete.vim is a Vim and Neovim plugin that provides asynchronous autocompletion using timers. It allows completion sources to be registered and triggered without blocking the editor. The architecture centers around a core completion engine that manages sources, triggers, and popup menu display. Key features include context-aware completion triggering, support for various change detection mechanisms (autocommands or timers), and a flexible source registration system. The plugin depends only on Vim 8+ or Neovim with timers feature, integrating with Vim's native complete() function for popup menu handling.
