Configure completion to insert, not replace, the following unrelated text?

[barries]

When inserting before an existing word (to_path_buffer, below), is there a way to prevent rustanalyzer from deleting that word, since it is not relevant to / part of the completion?

Example before/after selecting the LSP's strip_prefix completion (^ is the cursor location):

What	Code
Before:	path.strip^to_path_buffer();
Result:	path.strip_prefix()^;
Desired:	path.strip_prefix()^to_path_buffer();

It doesn't remove for me in VSCode, so this is probably something with your editor.

Specifically, rust-analyzer sends the editor what range to delete. Could it be that your editor doesn't respect that?

Thanks, good to know it works in VSCode. The LSP sending the range is why I thought it was an LSP issue.

The completion engine doesn't do this for locally-sourced snippets, which also makes it seems like an LSP issue.

However, who knows? I'm using nvim + blink.cmp. I'll look there-wards and see what I can find.
