Draw menu configuration per mode

[gennaro-tedesco]

I would like to avoid showing part of the draw menu when in cmdline mode, for instance see the below example

where all except the command label is redundant. I have tried the following:

menu.draw.components = {
  kind = {
    text = function(ctx)
	return ctx.mode == "cmdline" and "" or ctx.kind
    end,
  },
}

but it seems that the condition ctx.mode == "cmdline" always defaults to false, perhaps the ctx is not passed in the components module?

A similar question has been asked here, in the context of separate winopts; this would be the equivalent only for draw menu (perhaps it exists already and I have not found it in the docs?)

What is the current suggested approach to only draw specific UI components according to the different completion modes?

I was looking for a solution to the same problem and tried the exact same thing you did. mode doesn't seem to be available on the ctx in this function. And while if it was present this solution would work, it's also a bit of a pain since you need to adjust each component.

Separate menu opts for cmdline and editor would be a nicer, more customisable experience. But also more effort to implement.

@gennaro-tedesco I believe you might be referring to source_name instead of mode. Have you tried using ctx.source_name instead?

Oh, also @josh-nz.

Awesome that works. I should have noticed that since I'm displaying the source_name in my results list. Here's what I came up with:

        draw = {
          columns = { { "label", "label_description", gap = 1 }, { "kind" }, { "source_name" }  },
          -- treesitter = { "lsp" },
          components = {
            kind = {
              text = function(ctx) return ctx.source_name == "cmdline" and "" or ctx.kind end,
            },
            source_name = {
              text = function(ctx) return ctx.source_name == "cmdline" and "" or ctx.source_name end,
            },
          },
        },

In the editor, completion results show all the columns, while in command mode I only see the label and label desc. There looks to be the blank columns still from the kind and source_name, but it's good enough for now. Thanks @krovuxdev

@krovuxdev Thank you for the suggestion: I am however looking at this merged PR, which seems to be working as well.

Oh very nice, that is the better solution I was referring to. And it's part of 0.11 that released a few days ago. Will upgrade to that now and use the new features.
