[Feature Request] Add a way to configure cmp_select_opts

[dylanpjx]

It would be very helpful to have this as a top level configuration and not need to add mappings to override the select opts. Thanks!

There is a way. Change the preset to lsp-compe. Then you can configure nvim-cmp however you like. You can use the function .defaults.cmp_config to extend/change the defaults lsp-zero offers and pass that to nvim-cmp.

local lsp = require('lsp-zero')
lsp.preset('lsp-compe')

lsp.setup()

vim.opt.completeopt = {'menu', 'menuone', 'noselect'}

local cmp = require('cmp')
local cmp_config = lsp.defaults.cmp_config({
  ---
  -- nvim-cmp options go here
  ---
})

cmp.setup(cmp_config)

Wait. You mean the select behavior when you move between items?

[dylanpjx]

Afaik, that would still require one to re-add mappings and change/insert cmp.SelectBehavior per mapping manually right?

It would be great if lspzero had a global option that could be set at the top level.

[VonHeikemen]

It would be lovely if nvim-cmp had that feature.

Okay. I've added select_behavior option to .setup_nvim_cmp.

local lsp = require('lsp-zero')
lsp.preset('recommended')

lsp.setup_nvim_cmp({
  select_behavior = 'insert'
})

lsp.setup()

Is worth mention the default in lsp-zero is the first item gets "preselected", but it seems the text won't be inserted in this case. It'll only start putting text in the buffer when you start navigating between items.

If you disable the preselect you'll get something more consistent.

local lsp = require('lsp-zero')
lsp.preset('recommended')

lsp.setup_nvim_cmp({
  select_behavior = 'insert',
  preselect = 'none',
  completion = {
    completeopt = 'menu,menuone,noinsert,noselect'
  },
})

lsp.setup()

Wow, thanks for the fast patch! 😄

Global variables FTW!
