Subject: Inability to map C-N when completion popup is visible
I am trying to map C-N and C-P to behave differently when
pumvisible() returns true, but Vim seems to completely ignore this.
E.g., if I create this unconditional map (a much simpler one
than what I
wanted):
inoremap C-N C-C
pressing ^N normally stops insertmode, but when popup is
visible, Vim never executes the map. This may be true for
C-P also, but the same is not true for, say Up.
inoremap Up C-C
Using the above map, pressing Up arrow always stops insert
mode, whether popup is visible or not. Is this a bug? I
tested by starting with -u NONE option to avoid any other
interferences.
I had a lot of problems trying to get this to work as well.
In the end I was unable to map it without making a function call.
autoload/sqlcomplete.vim does the following:
if has('win32')
imap buffer c-right C-R=sqlcomplete#DrillIntoTable()CR
imap buffer c-left C-R=sqlcomplete#DrillOutOfColumns()CR
endif
function! sqlcomplete#DrillIntoTable()
If the omni popup window is visible
if pumvisible()
call sqlcomplete#Map('column')
C-Y, makes the currently highlighted entry active
and trigger the omni popup to be redisplayed
call feedkeys(\C-Y\C-X\C-O)
else
if has('win32')
If the popup is not visible, simple perform the normal
C-Right behaviour
exec normal! \C-Right
endif
endif
return
endfunction
In this case, if the popup window is not visible I want to perform the
standard C-Right so the user does not loose any functionality due to the
mapping.
For the lurkers, this is for Vim7 since pumvisible() and feedkeys() are Vim7
functions.
HTH,
Dave

I give up. The procedure you came up with works for other keys but not
for C-N (and possibly C-P as well). The function doesn't even get
called when completion popup is visible. Even for other keys where the
function gets called, I made several attempts to do what I want and none
worked properly. What I want is to remap Down to C-N (which is no
problem) but to also move the cursor to the end of the line before doing
C-N. I had two mixed results. In the first result, I am able to move
the cursor to the end, but C-N will then be treated as a trigger for
fresh insert mode completion (and I am not using a 'completefunc' to set
matches, so my completions get overwritten by what Vim generates by
default). In the second result, C-N works, but the cursor is not moved
to the end of the line. I tried to use all kinds of tricks mixing
the use of feedkeys(), inputsave/restore() and others. Something is very
fishy about C-N, when it is anywhere in the map (LHS or RHS),
everything else gets ignored.

Something is very fishy about C-N, when it is anywhere in the map (LHS or RHS), everything else gets ignored. There is a high probability that I am being dense, but it actually seems to work for me now. Here is what I'm doing. :imap C-N C-R=Wibble()CR function! Wibble() if pumvisible() return visible else return unvisible endif endf I type the beginning of a tag (actor_) and press C-P to open up the popup menu. Vim enters the first match (actor_get), and I then press C-N, and it changes the string to actor_getvisible. In normal insert mode pressing C-N just enters unvisible. Either I am misunderstanding the problem, or maybe I'm just special? Let me know if you need any more details of my setup. Max Strange... this works for me as well when I am not in my plugin window, but when the cursor is in the plugin window, it gets completely ignored (the breakpoint doesn't even get called, no buffer mapping for C-N to hide this, I checked). This beats me, but I think this is because of the way I am setting completion items. Instead of using the traditional 'completefunc' or 'omnifunc' approach (which involves invoking a keysequence), I am using the CursorMovedI event to set completions as soon as user types something (this is because, the whole purpose of the plugin is to show matches, so there is no point asking the user to press C-XC-U or any other key). Looks like I need to look deeper into the problem. Thanks to all. -- Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
