How to remove this extra information in mini.completion for java

[231tr0n]

Hi echasnovski! I came across an issue with completion items listed in mini.completion and specifically java.
Here is a screenshot of it

The thing is each completion item is very long for java setup using nvim-jdtls plugin which inturn makes the doc window not so good to read.

So I wanted to know if there is any way in mini.completion to remove the extra part of completion items after completion kind and probably add it in the doc window as a heading if possible in any way.
Is something like this possible with mini.completion. I am currently struggling with this issue at work since the completion items itself cover most of the screen and the doc window is literally unreadable.

Do you think you there is any workaround for this issue?

That part seems to be a detail field of what server returns and it is used as menu part of completion item.

I think this will be resolved after #1258. In particular, see this comment.

In the meantime, you can use config.lsp_completion.process_items to modify items received from LSP server. I think something like this should be enough:

require('mini.completion').setup({
  lsp_completion = {
    process_items = function(items, base)
      for _, i in ipairs(items) do
        i.detail = nil
      end
      return MiniCompletion.default_process_items(items, base)
    end
  }
})

As an alternative, you can also set vim.b.minicompletion_config = { lsp_completion = { process_items = ... } } locally only for java buffers.
