Disable a source at runtime?

[madduck]

Hello,

I am using cmp-lbdb via the compatibility layer, and it's wonderful to be able to fuzzy-match email addresses when editing mail headers in Neovim. However, while in the body, I don't want email addresses to be auto-completed.

I was wondering if there was a way to remove a source from Blink at runtime, i.e. when I leave the header, and re-enable it again when i re-enter the header? Is this possible?

Thank you,
m

@madduck It is mentioned here, and you can configure {auto_insert, preselect} to disable it.
This should clarify it.

I am not sure. I want a function CmpDisableSource("lbdb") such that after I call it, no items from the one source show up in the completion menu at all, until I call CmpEnableSource("lbdb"). Does this make sense?

I think auto_insert and preselect control how items in the set of completions are handled in general.

Sounds like you're looking for sources.providers.lbdb.enabled = function() return figure_out_if_youre_in_a_header() end

Isn't this function executed only once at load? I need to react to CursorMoved events…

maybe sources.providers.lbdb.should_show_items = function(ctx) return cond end would help

Perfect! Here is now my function that turns on lbdb completion only on lines that start with an appropriate email message header:

function(ctx)
  if not ctx.line then
    return false
  end
  local headername = ctx.line:match("^(%a+):")
  if not headername then
    return false
  end
  headername = headername:lower()
  return headername == "to" or headername == "cc" or headername == "bcc" or headername == "reply-to"
end

Thank you!
