Disable nvim-cmp autocomplete in Markdown files

[joeldrotleff]

I'd like to have autocomplete be disabled (so that the list of options doesn't pop up with useless suggestions when I'm just writing text.

Thanks,
Joel

Hmm ok so I was able to get it working by changing init.lua to have this:

  require("cmp").setup(opts)

  require("cmp").setup.filetype('markdown', {
    sources = {},
  })

This works, but my understanding is ti breaks upgrading to make changes here, "All changes should be made in the /custom folder".

So I tried adding to overrides.lua:

M.cmp = {
filetype = {
"markdown", {
sources = {}
}
}
}

But that doesn't work

cmp has a enabled* function in its config, you can use that

  {
    "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
    opts = {
      enabled = function()
        return (vim.bo.ft ~= "markdown")
      end,
    },
  },

or you can make an autocmd that disables cmp on markdown filetypes

require('cmp').setup.buffer { enabled = false }

This autocmd is amazing :D
require('cmp').setup.buffer { enabled = false }
How can i make a toggle function for this ?

@zwk5131 read nvchad mapping docs

I did that before i asked... I'm asking because there wasn't a solution for a function where you can make a equals comparison if its enabled or not.. So my attempt is to do 2 Keymaps one to turn it on and one to turn it off... But that's not really nice...
Or maybe implement an if / else function where i can write the value true/false .. but i don't know how to implement in lua..

Only thing that I found is this:

-- For a more complex keymap
["<leader>tt"] = {
  function()
     require("base46").toggle_transparency()
  end,
  "toggle transparency",
},

But that didn't helped me...

So it would be nice if there is a solution or an example ... :)

@zwk5131 just make a mapping with a function with your cmp code?

something likethis

function()               
       vim.b.cmp_enabled = not vim.b.cmp_enabled
       require('cmp').setup.buffer { enabled = vim.b.cmp_enabled }
 end

[zwk5131]

Thank you for that good example :D
I came up with something like this :P

function()                 
        x = not x
	require('cmp').setup.buffer { enabled = not x }
end

I defined x globally maybe there is a nicer way :)

@zwk5131 dont define it globally! , do vim.b , its buffer variable, if u really want it globally then do vim.g

[zwk5131]

okay, thanks 👍

In case anyone else comes here when they're brand new to NvChad and confused by the file structure - I believe this goes in /nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua. At least, that's what worked for me!

[zwk5131]

Forgot to provide the solution for the toggle function... here it is:

Path: .config/nvim/lua/core File: mappings.lua

M.general = {
i = {

 -- Toggle Autocompletion for Writingmode
    ["<a-a>"] = { 
      function()                 
        vim.b.x = not vim.b.x
	require('cmp').setup.buffer { enabled = not vim.b.x }
    end,
      "Toggle Autocompletion CMP",
    },

},

THX again @siduck
