Description

I'm using Copilot.lua and trying to use super-tab like mappings so that when I accept a suggestion, it closes the menu as if nvim-cmp finished the completion. Right now, with the above super-tab configuration, once I hit tab to complete using Copilot.lua, nvim-cmp autocomplete feature kicks in and opens the menu as if I was typing.

Steps to reproduce

Write some code.
Press tab to complete using Copilot, the menu opens up

Expected behavior

I want to be able to control the autocomplete feature and perhaps set a buffer flag to disable the next auto complete. So basically make autocomplete take a function that returns a boolean.

Actual behavior

nvim-cmp always opens up the menu event after cmp.abort()

Additional context

As a workaround, I was able to achieve what I'm looking for by wrapping cmp.abort() after accepting a suggestion in a vim.schedule but this feels flaky

    ["<Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
      local suggestion = require("copilot.suggestion")
      if suggestion.is_visible() and cmp.visible() then
        cmp.close()
      elseif suggestion.is_visible() then
        suggestion.accept()
        vim.schedule(function()
          -- We need to schedule this to close the completion menu after accepting the suggestion
          cmp.abort()
        end)
      elseif cmp.visible() then
        -- You could replace select_next_item() with confirm({ select = true }) to get VS Code autocompletion behavior
        cmp.select_next_item()
      elseif vim.snippet.active({ direction = 1 }) then
        vim.schedule(function()
          vim.snippet.jump(1)
        end)
      else
        fallback()
      end
    end, { "i", "s" }),
