Removal of api-injected completions?

#1

Hello!

I have a plugin that provides some very useful platform-specific autocompletions that happen to be big and ugly filepaths. It works exactly the way I want it to, but it has some nasty side effects.

All of the autocompletions returned from “on_query_completions” get stuck in the completions list, so when I continue to code completions goes beyond being useless and just becomes a burden, since the long completions I added match pretty much everything via regex.

Is there some mechanism for accessing and modifying the current list of autocompletions, even if it’s just the API-injected ones? I just want to remove the completions I added when “on_query_completions” gets called if the prefix doesn’t meet my criteria.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

I’m confused, if you don’t want to return your own completions given some condition, why not just have your plugin return an empty array from “on_query_completions”? You have access to the view, cursor locations, and prefix there, so you should be able to determine what should be in the completion list.

Hey, thanks for the response. I went back and checked and found a bug, I was doing:

if prefix not in ‘require’: return ]

Changed to

if not prefix or prefix not in ‘require’: return ]

and now when I press ctrl+space it doesn’t include my masses of returned values. Thanks!
