How to change this completion behaviour?

[resistorsoftware]

I have blink working well with Lazyvim but I am without the VI savvy skills to know how to alter some completion behaviour.

If I have a thing in my editing that renders as thing.id and I know I need to replace the id with say legacy_id I am getting annoyed that when I start editing, for example inserting the legacy_ before id I am getting completion suggestions.

How can I stop getting suggestions when I am refactoring like this? Another way for me to write about my problem is, if I attack some code in the middle, the suggestions are rendering where I am typing, not a line below where I am typing, so it frazzles my brain. I have to to shut off the completion suggestions and finish my typing.

I am super happy that as I type, I get suggestions for completion. Fine! It is just when working anywhere on a line. What are some options open to me in blink to tinker?

I think screenshot is needed to explain the problem.
Your request is disable the completion when in the middle in words?

So there I have item.product and say I want insert item.insert.product... you can see how the autocomplete is messy

And also, what is bugging me, is I have buggered up the blink such that if somewhere else in the code I used an ending like legacy_resource_id, then when I need to re-use that and replace other strings, like say just an id the blink suggestions never have legacy_resource_id from this file as an option... I can swear it used to offer me from buffer but no longer.. even though buffer is an LSP option...

Anyway, I hope this screenshot shows off the mess I see.

OK. I get it.

It's like, if the suggestion did not lay in that ghosted text and take up 10 characters, I'd be happy. Leave my cursor position alone and let me type, and if I want to accept some suggestion, OK! I am all for it... but that ghosty text and pushing my actual code to the right kind of thing.. whatever effect that is... it drives me nuts!

It is ddc-ui-inline behavior.

This behavior is OK?

I would love to try it and see. Looks promising! TIL! I will see if I can figure that out... hopefully it pops up with some examples.

There seems to be room for improvement in the behavior of the ghost text in blink.cmp. It would work better if it checked whether the word following the cursor matches the word being inserted, but the implementation would be complex.

The ghost text effect I am sure exists for a positive reason. It is just not helpful for me as it slaughters my focus and concentration.
