I've never used omnicomplete (C-x C-o). Honestly it never seems to work for me (not the way I'd want it to). I'm still just using C-n (standard completion) and happy with that. Heck this is Vim. Remap C-x C-o to tab. If you need a tab (I rarely need a literal one) you can C-v <tab> in insert mode. > So I'm torn between the wonderful eclipse environment of completion, > integrated refactoring tools, etc, and the wonderful two-mode Vim > interface. And no the vim plugin for eclipse does not cut it (and the > vim plugin for Visual Studio isn't what you think it is). What do you mean that the plugin for VS isn't what you think? I used (one of) the vim plugin(s), and it gave me vim keybindings to the best extent you can while being in VS. I'm told Microsoft has an in-house one, but like we get to toy with that. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
