Description
The default <CR> mapping added by eunuch.vim breaks Nvim's (and maybe Vim's too?) ins-completion menu.
Minimal repo:
- Launch Nvim with an empty config
:packadd vim-eunuch- Type
hello hi hey howdy, just to get ins-completion something to complete. What exactly you type doesn't matter. - On a new line, type
h<C-P>to triggerins-completion - Select an option and press
<CR>. - The option is not selected.

As a workaround, putting imap <CR> <CR> in init.vim will fix the issue, but ideally, I shouldn't need to do that.

Research direction
Start with the minimal reproduction: launch Nvim with an empty config, run :packadd vim-eunuch, trigger ins-completion with h, and press on an option. Inspect the plugin's default mapping and verify that completion selects the chosen option without requiring imap in init.vim.
