Using any key to confirm selection

[MikaelElkiaer]

Coming from VS and VS Code, I've felt like something important has been missing in my cmp set-up.
I figured out what: completing on pressing any key. It might be smarter in those other editors, but at least this feels like a good first step.

Not sure where to put it, wiki is probably the best place.
For now I am sharing it here - also hoping for some feedback, including alternative approaches.

A simple added config does the trick:

-- callback whenever cmp menu is opened
cmp.event:on("menu_opened", function()
  -- autocmd triggered before a character is inserted
  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("InsertCharPre", {
    callback = function(_)
      -- if no entry is selected - do nothing
      if (cmp.get_selected_entry()) ~= nil then
        -- store the to-be inserted char
        local c = vim.v.char
        -- clear the to-be inserted char
        vim.v.char = ""
        -- vim schedule to circumvent the textlock
        vim.schedule(function()
           -- confirm cmp selection - i. e. insert
           cmp.confirm({ select = false })
           -- insert the stored char
           vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(c, "n", false)
        end)
      end
    end,
    once = true,
  })
end)

Worth noting that preview does not work well with this config.

I've not set preview for my completeopt and set my selection mapping with SelectBehavior.Select instead of SelectBehavior.Preview.
