"Scanning tags." when typing in insert mode about mini.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

By default if no LSP completion available 'mini.completion' acts like user typed <C-n> to complete from sources defined in 'complete'. If it says scanning tags, it means that you have t in 'complete'. If you remove it with set complete-=t, this message won't show.

Bad news is, probably another message will be shown (something like "Scanning <file>"). I couldn't find the way to disable those messages. I hoped that having c in 'shortmess' would solve this but it is not the case. I think there is some issue or PR in Vim/Neovim to fix this, but don't quite remember. It was annoying for me at first, but then somehow I adapted to this.

If this is really annoying, you can either disable fallback completion (supply function() end as MiniCompletion.config.fallback_action) or try something else (maybe other mapping from :h ins-completion).

Another semi-solution that seems to "work" comes from these comments:

• set showmode.
• set shortmess+=c.
• "Hide" mode message by defining hi ModeMsg guifg=<your background color> guibg=NONE gui=NONE. This way it will be shown but not seen.

After almost a year, this is finally possible in Neovim nightly. See neovim/neovim#20633. I've just tested with latest release, and doing :set shortmess+=C works.
