Remove highlight from snippet completion

[skerkar10]

Is it possible to not highlight the snippet completion fields while in insert mode?

In the image, even while in insert mode, the field for the parameter remains highlighted.

If I understand correctly what you want to achieve and assuming you're using the builtin snippets (vim.snippet), you could add the following autocommand:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('InsertEnter', {
    callback = function()
        if vim.snippet then
            vim.cmd('hi link SnippetTabstopActive NONE')
        end
    end
})

And if you want to clear the tabstop highlights when going to normal mode, you could add this mapping:

vim.keymap.set({'i', 's'}, '<ESC>', function()          
  if vim.snippet then vim.snippet.stop() end 
  return '<ESC>'                             
end, { expr = true })

Thanks for the reply! I mostly just wanted to clear the highlighting itself from the snippets. The second solution works, but requires leaving insert mode. I found the following to be better suited for my needs:

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'SnippetTabstop', {})
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'SnippetTabstopActive', {})
