Description

I'm using Copilot.lua and trying to use super-tab like mappings so that when I accept a suggestion, it closes the menu as if nvim-cmp finished the completion. Right now, with the above super-tab configuration, once I hit tab to complete using Copilot.lua, nvim-cmp autocomplete feature kicks in and opens the menu as if I was typing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Write some code.

2. Press tab to complete using Copilot, the menu opens up

Expected behavior

I want to be able to control the autocomplete feature and perhaps set a buffer flag to disable the next auto complete. So basically make autocomplete take a function that returns a boolean.

Actual behavior

nvim-cmp always opens up the menu event after cmp.abort()

Additional context

As a workaround, I was able to achieve what I'm looking for by wrapping cmp.abort() after accepting a suggestion in a vim.schedule but this feels flaky

    ["<Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
      local suggestion = require("copilot.suggestion")
      if suggestion.is_visible() and cmp.visible() then
        cmp.close()
      elseif suggestion.is_visible() then
        suggestion.accept()
        vim.schedule(function()
          -- We need to schedule this to close the completion menu after accepting the suggestion
          cmp.abort()
        end)
      elseif cmp.visible() then
        -- You could replace select_next_item() with confirm({ select = true }) to get VS Code autocompletion behavior
        cmp.select_next_item()
      elseif vim.snippet.active({ direction = 1 }) then
        vim.schedule(function()
          vim.snippet.jump(1)
        end)
      else
        fallback()
      end
    end, { "i", "s" }),

It seems auto completion plugin feature.

local on_text_changed = function()
  if config.enabled() then
    cmp.core:on_change('TextChanged')
  end
end
autocmd.subscribe({ 'TextChangedI', 'TextChangedP' }, on_text_changed)

nvim-cmp works completion when TextChangedI.
If you accept copilot candidate, it will trigger TextChangedI event.

you can use

                local origin = vim.o.eventignore
                vim.o.eventignore = "all"
               // Accept copilot source
                vim.defer_fn(function()
                    vim.o.eventignore = origin
                end, 10)
