Would it be sufficient to not trigger CursorMovedI when the user pressed
CTRL-X ? What submode would it be in? Or are you saying that this
depends on whether the completion uses a popup menu or not?
I suppose we could limit CursorMovedI to when Vim is waiting for a
character to be inserted, not in some submode where behavior is
unpredictable. However, some completion plugins may actually use the
side-efffect.
