Disable autocompletion feature and snippets

[mcctuxic]

Describe the bug Autocompletion and snippets are always on - independet of the current type of file. When I write mails (for example) I am confronted with a license agreement text which suddenly gets inserted into my mail or other nonesense like wordlists, containing words, which needs lesser characters to type than it needs TAB hits to get to that word finally.

To Reproduce Write a non technical, not programming text.

Expected behavior Autocompletion and snippet feature should be restricted to technical related types of files.

Screenshots ...sorry. My mails are private data. Therefore no screenshot.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Gentoo Linux
• Wezterm
• NVIM v0.7.0 Build type: RelWithDebInfo LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Additional context Solution would be sufficient, if it is know, how to disable related plugins in dependence to certain types of files.

or you could write an autocmd for it, idk much about autocmds but I could come up with this

local autocmd = vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd

autocmd("FileType", {
   pattern = "lua",
   callback = function()
      require("cmp").setup.buffer { enabled = false }
   end,
}

If I want it for .py files It will be

pattern = "python"

for .md files

pattern = "markdown"

But what about plain text files without a filetype?
