Issue with ghost character being inserted with snippets

[joebonneau]

Hello,

I'm not sure if blink is the source of my issue, but I can't seem to resolve the issue by other means so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I'm using mini.snippets as my snippets engine (with preset = "mini-snippets" in my blink.cmp config) alongside friendly-snippets and all of my snippets are inserting an unknown character (see the little square at the end of the inserted snippet).

{
  "saghen/blink.cmp",
  opts = {
    keymap = {
      ["<C-j>"] = { "select_next", "fallback" },
      ["<C-k>"] = { "select_prev", "fallback" },
      ["<C-f>"] = { "scroll_documentation_down", "fallback" },
      ["<CR>"] = { "accept", "fallback" },
      ["<C-b>"] = { "scroll_documentation_up", "fallback" },
    },
    completion = {
      list = {
        selection = { preselect = false, auto_insert = false },
        cycle = { from_bottom = true, from_top = true },
      },
    },
    snippets = { preset = "mini_snippets" },
    sources = {
      default = { "buffer", "lsp", "path", "snippets" },
      per_filetype = { sql = { "snippets", "buffer", "dadbod" } },
      compat = { "codeium" },
      providers = {
        dadbod = {
          name = "Dadbod",
          module = "vim_dadbod_completion.blink",
        },
        codeium = {
          kind = "Codeium",
          score_offset = -10,
          async = true,
        },
      },
    },
    cmdline = {
      sources = { "buffer", "cmdline" },
    },
  },
}

  {
    "echasnovski/mini.snippets",
    opts = function()
      local mini_snippets = require("mini.snippets")
      return {
        snippets = {
          mini_snippets.gen_loader.from_lang(),
          mini_snippets.gen_loader.from_file("~/.config/nvim/snippets/global.json"),
        },
      }
    end,
  }

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

@joebonneau This is not an issue with blink.cmp, it is handled by mini.snippets, as x mentioned, or by using enter when reaching the final tabstops ∎. That is when the snippet session ends. This is related to tabstops.
This is not related to blink.cmp, so you should check the mini.snippets documentation instead.

If you are referring to customizing the • and ∎ characters displayed as virtual text for empty tabulations, this is possible through the empty_tabstop and empty_tabstop_final options of default_insert. Here is an example of how to do this.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
