How to disable by default and toggle on code completion with which key?

[b11e]

Hi I'm coming from using lazyvim.

I am toggling the state of the code completion with
vim.b.completion = false
and i'm using a keymap to just set it to true or false,

but all blink does with this is read this on start and only start.

the issue is it seems that blink cmp does not check this global after neovim starts so there's no point in me toggling this.
It only checks once in the enabled field,
from the docs:

-- Enables keymaps, completions and signature help when true
enabled = function() return vim.bo.buftype ~= "prompt" and vim.b.completion ~= false end,

-- See the "keymap" page for more information
keymap = 'default',

I don't know how to retrigger this enabled field to return false or true on a keymap and therefore reload code completion. I cannot find a way to programatically call blink.cmp to enable or disable. it's not apart of the API it looks like.

i couldnt find anything in the docs to get the behavior i want,

setting the state of a global is likely not the best way to do this.
I was hoping there was some method i can invoke on the programatic api of blink.

if more motivation is needed to implement this, I think there are people who want this off when learning a new language. I'd rather have it off and opt in when i need it

nvm i must have screwed something up.
here's a working example posted by someone else

it's around somewhere, but here's from my config

      -- completion off by default
      vim.b.completion = false

      -- toggle completion
      Snacks.toggle({
        name = "Completion",
        get = function()
          return vim.b.completion
        end,
        set = function(state)
          vim.b.completion = state
        end,
      }):map("<leader>u/")

      opts.enabled = function()
        return vim.b.completion
      end

      return opts
    end,

I've made this. It toggles with Ctrl+Q. Create new lua file and paste it:

return {
  "saghen/blink.cmp",
  opts = function(_, opts)
    local completion_toggle = Snacks.toggle({
      name = "Completion",
      get = function()
        return vim.b.completion
      end,
      set = function(state)
        vim.b.completion = state
      end,
    })


    local function toggle_completion()

      require("blink.cmp").hide()
      completion_toggle:toggle()
    end

    vim.keymap.set({ "i", "n" }, "<C-q>", toggle_completion, { desc = "Toggle Completion" })
    opts.enabled = function()
      return vim.b.completion
    end

    return opts
  end,
}
