`{ "select_accept_and_enter", "fallback" }` Does not trigger abbreviations in cmdline

Make sure you have done the following

• Updated to the latest version of blink.cmp
• Searched for existing issues and documentation (try <C-k> on https://cmp.saghen.dev)

Bug Description

As you can see in my configuration, I set <C-l> to be select_accept_and_enter but it doesn't trigger abbreviations when no results found.

screenrecording-2025-11-19_08-42-26.mp4

This video shows that puhs should be transformed into push when <C-l> but it doesn't.

On the other hand pressing Enter works as expected, turning puhs into push as I specified in the cnoreabbrev

I believe this is a regression, I don't remember having those issues before.

Relevant configuration

cnoreabbrev puhs push

Which mapping does <C-l> fall back to? By default, it's unbound.

Theoretically, when the menu is visible and you press <C-l>, it should select and then accept the "push" item. At this point, "push" should be inserted, fixing your typo without the need for cabbrev. In your video, it's not clear which keys you pressed at puh| and puhs|.

@soifou

At puh| I pressed s so at puhs blink.cmp no longer suggest push nor anything else, at this point the menu is gone, then I pressed <C-l>, so theoretically it should fallback to <CR> because the menu is not visible, no suggestions from blink.cmp

Apart from the config in the description above I have this keymap:

-- FALLBACK
vim.keymap.set("c", "<C-l>", "<CR>", { remap = true })

If I remove ["<C-l>"] = { "select_accept_and_enter", "fallback" }, from my blink.cmp config it works as expected, but then I lose select_accept_and_enter functionality

Thanks for the explanation, I can now reproduce it. FYI, I’m currently refactoring the keymap module to address all the issues mentioned in #2266, including yours. It still needs a bit of polish before I push something but the results are looking good so far. Stay tuned!
