Hide the auto complete window completely

[nparthas]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible currently to completely hide the autocompletion window. I'd like to have something like this, which I saw was from this post.

I've tried changing some of the completeopts but taking a brief look through the code it seems like there are parts that are dependent of having menu,menuone,noselect as changing them in the plugin+nvim config led to some weird behaviour.

I saw the option for ghost_text which is what I'd like to use along with a hidden window, so that I can cycle through suggestions without having the popup take up space on the screen.

Not asking for a new feature, just if it's currently doable.

Edit:

If that's not possible, I can shrink the menu size down to just one entry with pumheight=1, but is there a way to disable the LSP documentation info window?

I would love this feature.

Given this was actually a thing, it would also be nice if it was possible to bring the completion menu up on demand, so that you aren't completely locked into just one line.

Hm. If search mode or command line mode, statusline can be used for completion menu. Please see.

ghost_text does not support hide the completion window.

You can disable the completion menu by autocomplete = false. For manual completion, you can use cmp.mapping.complete().

autocomplete = true is not support toggle, must comment this option in personal config file

The implementation should have been able to do this, but the current nvim-cmp is badly designed and difficult to implement. Sorry...

[ghost]

this would be really nice to have

@hrsh7th Could an option be added to view.entries? view = { entries = 'wildmenu' } } puts the menu on the bottom of the page. Could that be configured to not display anything? Or could it still technically be displaying but with a height of 0 so you don't actually see it?

I use the setup below to switch between wildmenu and custom. It could easily be adapted to switch between custom and hidden or whatever the new view.entries option gets called.

local toggle_view = function()
    local current = cmp.get_config().view.entries.name
    if current == nil or current == 'wildmenu' then
        cmp.setup({ view = { entries = { name = 'custom', selection_order = 'near_cursor' } } })
    else
        cmp.setup({ view = { entries = { name = 'wildmenu', separator = ' | ' } } })
    end
end

cmp.setup({
    experimental = { ghost_text = true },
    view = { entries = { name = 'wildmenu', separator = ' | ' } },
    --other setup
    mapping = cmp.mapping.preset.insert({
        --other mappings    
        ['<C-Space>'] = cmp.mapping(function()
            if not cmp.visible() then
                cmp.complete()
            else
                cmp.abort()
                toggle_view()
                cmp.complete()
            end
        end),
    }),
})
