I don't want omni complete to insert anything. I just want it to popup a list of possible matches. Jared

Is there a fix planned for this in the future. Some option I can specify to prevent auto-insertion of a match? -- Jared > > -- > HTH, > Hari > > > > -Original Message- > > From: Hari Krishna Dara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 12:34 PM > > To: Jared Parsons > > Cc: vim@vim.org > > Subject: Re: Making Omni Complete suggest but not complete > > > > > > On Fri, 16 Jun 2006 at 11:46am, Jared Parsons wrote: > > > > > Is there any way to make omni complete popup a list of suggestions but > not > > > immediately add one of them to the buffer?

RE: Making Omni Complete suggest but not complete
I'm both working on a new plugin (C#) and using a couple of existing ones. I tried the hack of returning the original text as well. It works if you are using omni complete on demand. However I would like to add automatic omni complete after certain characters such as '.'. In that case you can't insert the existing text (there isn't any) and if you try and return '' as one of the valid words omni complete will just ignore it.

If you are writing a plugin, then it is easy for you to do this, but if you are using an existing plugin, you might have to wrap the original function and add the original text before returning it. The omni completion plugins should probably make this a standard setting. -- HTH, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
Making Omni Complete suggest but not complete
Is there any way to make omni complete popup a list of suggestions but not immediately add one of them to the buffer? I find omni complete very useful but it's incredibly annoying that it auto-chooses one of the entries. I'd prefer it popup the list of suggestions but not modify the buffer. -- Jared
