Path completion: Redundant directories when accepting path suggestions several times

[vincentarelbundock]

Hello everyone,

I am new to blink and am having an issue with path completion while using Neovim and blink.cmp as completion engine.

Typing C-y multiple times to accept path completions sequentially results in invalid paths with redundant directories.

Imagine that I want to open hello/world/foo/file.txt with :e

1. I start typing a partial path, for example, hell.
2. The completion menu shows suggestions, correctly suggesting hello/world.
3. I accept the suggestion for hello/world by pressing Ctrl-Y.
4. Now, I want to further navigate into hello/world/foo and the suggestion appears correctly.
5. However, when I press Ctrl-Y again to accept hello/world/foo, my path becomes hello/hello/world/foo, duplicating the hello directory.

This results in a non-existent path and disrupts my workflow. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can anyone provide guidance on how to fix this behavior?

What I would like is the typical shell experience, where you can type a few characters, then Tab to complete that directory, then a few more characters, sequentially to get to the full path. (But the completion key can remain C-y.)

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
