Hi! I’m looking for a way to turn kakoune into a more distraction-free experience, a bit like `goyo.vim`. Is there a plugin for that?

At least, I’d like to completely disable auto-completion but couldn’t find how to do this, only how to close the current completion window.

```auto
:doc keys insert-mode-completion

```

thanks for your answer, but it didn’t help much. Unless I missed something, that page describes the shortcuts to interact with a completion window, not how to **disable** the completion window.

“The completers option controls automatic completion, which kicks in when the value specified in the idle\_timeout option is reached.”

So you can evaluate something like:

```auto
set-option global completers

```

when you need to (here set for all buffers with `global`).  
Don’t forget to disable kak-lsp completion for these buffers too.

OK, thanks for the clarification!
