UTF-8 is essential to my use of Vim. Best regards, Tony. Well, it doesn't work because I made it just to show what I would like to have and I don't really know how to deal with multibyte in vim. It is not inherent to the modification I propose. If someone does this correctly, it should work fine with multibyte. However, nobody seems interested so I think I will just forget it and keep the patch for my personal use :(. koxinga

command line completion on several lines
Hello, I am a big fan of the zsh feature allowing to navigate in a two-dimensional way in matches when completing a command, so I tried to code something similar in vim. The patch is here : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/koxinga/cmdline_completion.diff I am a beginner programmer and not at all familiar with the vim code so it isn't an elegant piece of code and I didn't understand exactly what some of the adjacent parts were supposed to do (what does 'showtail' mean ?). I did this little modification mainly to explain what I would like to have and hoping someone more able to do it will take some time to implement a proper patch. The completion is now organized on several lines, which allows to see much more possibilities at once when there are many matches. You can use the four directional keys to navigate and it wraps at the extremities. For the moment, it doesn't show anything if it can't show every matches. It won't work with multibyte. As up and down are now used for navigation, I mapped Shift-Up and Shift-Down to enter or leave a directory. Tab, Shift-Tab, Ctrl-P, Ctrl-N continue to work the same way. Any feedback appreciated, of course ... koxinga
