Cursor position in cmp source

[sweetboss12512]

I'm making a custom source, and I'd like the cursor to be inside of the brackets when I accept a completion. How do I do this?

@sweetboss12512 yes, you can use opts.completion.menu.draw.align_to = "cursor" here -> draw

Aligns the keyword you've typed to a component in the menu

You can use a snippet like

insertTextFormat = vim.lsp.protocol.InsertTextFormat.Snippet
insertText = "example($0)" -- or textEdit.newText

@Saghen Where is that configured? I don't quite understand how it works.

I believe the author is talking about returning completion items to blink.cmp. And trying to figure out how, after accepting their item, to move the cursor into the brackets
