Re: auto complete function of the tab does not work
thank you all! the problem has been resolved. actually, 'verboset set cp?' returns 'compatiable', so i recheck where is my _vimrc file and found it was lost. i rewrite the file and everything goes fine. thank you again!

auto complete function of the tab does not work
i just installed a 7.0 of vim on windows. i remembered, in the previous version, when i need to open a file using the ':ed' command, i can press tab after giving first few characters of the file ( or path ), vim would auto complete the reset. but after i installed the new vim 7.0. the tab does not work. can anyone know why? i think i might miss some in the .vimrc. -- woody then sun rose thinly from the sea and the old man could see the other boats, low on the water and well in toward the shore, spread out across the current.

If you have a .vimrc, and Vim finds it, it should set 'nocompatible' at startup. This would set up Tab as the wild key. So: :verbose set cp? wc? It should answer nocompatible wildchar=Tab and, if these options were set (e.g. in your vimrc) it should tell you where. (If it doesn't tell you where an option was set, it means it either was left at its default, or set from the keyboard.) To see if Vim finds your vimrc, look at the top of the output of the :scriptnames command. To see _where_ it looks for a vimrc, use (on [g]vim for Windows) :echo $HOME :echo $VIM Note: Which patchlevel did you install (as shown near the top of the splash screen, which can be recalled by using :intro )? Bram's latest official build is 7.0.000. More recent builds of Vim for Windows (currently up to 7.0.178 which includes all the latest published bug fixes) are available from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866package_id=39721 Note that this is a plain-vanilla Vim and gvim distribution (with up-to-date runtime files, but without Cream) even though it is hosted with the Cream project.

Make sure you have a space between the first question mark and the rest. after inserted the space, the command executed succesfully. but the tab is still not functionable. when i press 'tab', it only pops up '^I' in the command edit line :-( Sure, that command doesn't change anything, it just asks Vim for info. What is the reply? And, please, use Reply to List (if your mailer offers it) or Reply to All but not Reply to Sender because the latter won't show your reply to all other users on the list. (I'm just a plain user like you, not a professional field-support emploee: Vim doesn't have any of those.) Best regards, Tony.
