How to not preselect on LSP rename?

[oblitzitate]

I couldn't find it in the documentation to turn off preselect when LSP renaming.

👀 curious as well.

EDIT: I am using https://github.com/stevearc/dressing.nvim to have the rename edit box in the code itself.

I just want to describe this problem a bit more, so we're on the same page.

When I trigger the LSP rename popup (which is in a Neovim command input box), the input box is prepopulated with the name of the symbol I want to rename. Then maybe I backspace a couple of letters to start the rename, but then Blink renders its dropdown giving suggestions of Neovim commands. I think that could be okay, apart from the fact that the first item is preselected, so that when I press ENTER to accept my rename, the suggested Neovim command is entered instead.

Of course it's not actually a big issue, because I can just remember to press ESCAPE before ENTER. Or indeed I can press ESCAPE twice and that causes my rename to be the chosen rename!

I think that should be disabled by default. It's rarely useful and gets mostly in the way when ENTER selects a suggestion instead of what I typed.

There's also some discussion here: https://old.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/1i4w70l/disable_blinkcmp_in_certain_scenarios/

Happy to look at a PR for this change. Ideally, we would block the buftype if it's consistent across different LSP rename popup plugins (i.e. we block prompt which is used for telescope, snacks.picker, ...). Otherwise, blocking by filetype would be fine
