How can i disable blink completions in an inline custom prompt?

[oca159]

Hi everyone,

I'm using LazyVim along with the Blink and Snacks plugins. I noticed that when an input is required for a custom prompt, the Blink plugin activates, and it becomes super annoying as it tries to autocomplete automatically.

I assume this might also happen with nvim-cmp, but I still need to confirm that.

Has anyone encountered this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Yep this is happening for me as well. There may be a setting to disable it for certain file types. I haven't looked into it yet.

Straight from the blink README:

 -- Example for blocking multiple filetypes
enabled = function()
  return not vim.tbl_contains({ "lua", "markdown" }, vim.bo.filetype) and vim.bo.buftype ~= "prompt"
end,

We can put this in our config for the plugin.

A different approach from the one Oli suggested is this: if you're using snacks.input, you can do the following:

input = { 
  b = {
    completion = false, -- disable blin completions in input
  }
}

I gave it a try, but it didn’t work. I suspect the issue is that CodeCompanion is relying on vim.ui.input instead of Snacks.input, i will try the suggested approach of Oli

Actually, snacks.input is just a wrapper around vim.ui.input(). So, if you're typing in the prompt inside a floating window like the one below, you're using snacks.input.

One suggestion to Oli's solution is to add the filetype "snacks_input" to the filetypes list, as snacks.input uses this filetype by default.

It works! 🎉

Here's the configuration I used, in case it helps someone else, it also removes auto brackets in codecompanion provider, otherwise it will add some extra parentheses, which is also annoying

{
    "saghen/blink.cmp",
    dependencies = { "olimorris/codecompanion.nvim", "saghen/blink.compat" },
    opts = {
      enabled = function()
        return vim.bo.buftype ~= "prompt" and vim.b.completion ~= false
      end,
      completion = {
        accept = {
          auto_brackets = {
            kind_resolution = {
              blocked_filetypes = { "typescriptreact", "javascriptreact", "vue", "codecompanion" },
            },
          },
        },
      },
      sources = {
        compat = { "codecompanion" },
        providers = {
          codecompanion = {
            name = "CodeCompanion",
            module = "codecompanion.providers.completion.blink",
            enabled = true,
          },
        },
      },
    },
  }

I should have said you'd need to customise this for your own config. Thanks @bassamsdata
