How to get autocompletion selection with <tab> just right?

[nnathan]

Hi,

I'm migrating from nvim-cmp (via kickstart) to blink.

It all sounds good, but I'm having some niggly issues with using tab to autocomplete. When completing paths or other items where there is only one completion, I want tab to always accept the completion on first go. Not cycle between selecting and not selecting, is this possible?

@nnathan, you can refer to accept_and_enter and the configuration of keyamps, for example see this keymaps

I wanted to achieve the same and got it working by binding the following keys:

keymap = {
  preset = "none",
  ["<TAB>"] = { "select_next", "fallback" },
  ["<S-TAB>"] = { "select_prev", "fallback" },
  ["<CR>"] = { "accept", "fallback" },
}

And eventually set the completion preselection to false:

completion = {
  list = {
    selection = {
      preselect = false,
    },
  },
}

See Completion List

This will work for auto-completion, but not for snippets (this is why I have the ["<CR>"] = { "accept", "fallback" } configuration - just for accepting snippets), since snippets don't expand when selected.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
