Note the config ['<Tab>'] = { .... c = cmp.config.disable } to disable TAB mappings in the command line.

Description

<Tab> keys are broken again. When pressing it, an error occurs.

Steps to reproduce

Press <Tab> in the command-line.

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

E5108: Error executing lua /tmp/plugged/vim-plug/nvim-cmp/lua/cmp/core.lua:113: attempt to call a userdata value
stack traceback:

Additional context

This happened due to recent breaking changes in the keymappings.

Can we completely disable and prevent cmp from taking <cmp> keymaps via the "delegation" or "fallback" mechanism? As in #590, I absolutely don't want the following cmap to exist when keymaps are configured to be disabled:

c  <Tab>       * <Cmd>call v:lua.cmp.utils.keymap.set_map(1)<CR> 

[Shougo]

Well...

  c = cmp.config.disable, -- see GH-880

The mapping config is needed? As I know the default mappings are removed.

[wookayin]

Hi @Shougo, thanks for the comment! After today's breaking change #895, this is not needed any more. I tried removing this line, and indeed no more errors.

However, that specific line was necessary, until today; four days ago #880 required us to explicitly disable it (and now the default mapping has been removed).

Even with the explicit disabling, it should behave the same.

[Shougo]

OK. The main problem seems cmp.config.disable does not work.

[wookayin]

Exactly! cmp.config.disable = vim.NIL, which does not evaluate to false in lua.

[hrsh7th]

I think you should simply remove c = cmp.config.disable.

But it's like a bug. I'll check it.
