keyword_length and unwanted completion prompt

[tkf144]

Hi,

I have a basic nvim-cmp configuration. I have keyword_length set to 2. The problem I'm having is that on entering insert mode, preceding characters such as = trigger the completion prompt when it isn't desirable.

For example, I'd like to change the below example code as follows:

local my_var =
{
-    my_other_property = {},
+    my_other_property =
+    {
+    },
}

I start by moving the cursor to the space following the =, and pressing s to delete the space and allow me to then press <CR> to take a new line. However, on entering insert mode with s, the preceding = seems to trigger the completion menu, which will receive the following <CR>, inserting whatever item is first in the completion menu.

You can see the motions below; note that I close the completion menu manually before proceeding with <CR>.

The behaviour I think I would prefer is that the completion menu only appears automatically after n characters have been typed in insert (for e.g.) mode, and not that the menu automatically appears when the cursor follows n characters (regardless of how many have been typed).

Is what I have described above something that can be achieved with an nvim-cmp setting or do I need to implement a custom enabled function?

Thanks :)
