completion menu issue on neovim

[cvlmtg]

with the latest version of asyncomplete (which reintroduced TextChangedP) the completion is working ok, but there's a little issue: If I start typing a word the completion menu appears, but if for some reason I delete a letter (e.g. because I made a mistake) the menu disappear and it doesn't appear anymore unless I erase all the word except the first letter. It doesn't matter if I write another letter, press tab etc. If I want the menu back I have to erase the word up to the first letter. for example:

I'm using neovim:

Could you try reverting this? 720be50

[cvlmtg]

it still happens

[prabirshrestha]

@cvlmtg try adding this in your vimrc. imap <c-space> <Plug>(asyncomplete_force_refresh)

Then press ctrl+space to force refresh.

[prabirshrestha]

I would also suggest you to use au User lsp_setup call asyncomplete#register_source(asyncomplete#sources#file#get_source_options({...})

Hi, I did some experiments and I see that the backspace problem is present even if I checkout v1.0, so it seems the problem might not be in the latest changes. I'll try to understand what's going on

[prabirshrestha]

The backspace problem was always there. I do plan to fix this in the future but for now you would have to use the mapping as a workaround.

ok thanks!
