luasnip.extras.select_choice: stay in insert mode after selection is made?

[pogopaule]

The select_choice popup is awesome! The only problem I have is that vim is in normal mode after I have made a selection, which breaks the flow if there are more nodes to go to.
How can I stay in insert mode?

I have the same question! Often times I have more jumps in the snippet and don't want to exit insert mode after UI select. It also causes a problem where my ghost text saying it's a choice stays until I go back into insert mode and exit again.

I was looking at the select_choice method, and it doesn't look like we can do it as it's written. It would be cool if we could pass a function for it to execute. We could call vim.cmd('startinsert') in that function

Ouh, good point, I totally agree 👍
I pushed a (potential: it works for me, but I don't know about vim.ui.select-providers other than dressing with telescope) fix to the select_choice_reinsert_test-branch, could you try if it's reliable?

@L3MON4D3 it works for me! I am using Telescope.

@L3MON4D3 works for me as well. 👍 I also use Telescope (via https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-ui-select.nvim)

Okay, I've pushed it to master for now
