A made a toy patch about 4 years ago for this[1], based on the completion code that I wrote for the :find command, and last year someone asked the same question as you do now [2]. I tried out the patch just now (from [2]) and it does apply cleanly and seems to complete the cd command based on cdpath. One problem that I notice right away is that when cdpath is set to the default value (,,) the suggestions for doing :cd tab include files as well - it should only suggest directories. I'm sure there are more problems yet to be found. The patch is not fit for inclusion into vim because: 1. There's no tests (must work for at least unix, dos and windows environment) 2. Due to 1 above, bugs like the one I mentioned above are hiding in some dark corners somewhere :) If you want to help you can start by applying the patch and writing a test for it, similar to the one that tests the :find command in src/testdir/test73.in.

:cd 'cdpath'
I recently discovered 'cdpath', and noticed VIM is doing a good job at it, except :cd doesn't autocomplete the valid paths from the 'cdpath'. I wrote this script as a hack to work around it : function! s:CdComplete(ArgLead, CmdLine, CursorPos) let pattern = empty(a:ArgLead) ? '*/' : '*' . a:ArgLead . '*/' return map(globpath(cdpath, pattern, 1, 1), 'fnamemodify(v:val, :h:t)') endfunction command! -bar -nargs=1 -complete=customlist,s:CdComplete Cd cd args But surely this should be supported natively, doesn't sound like it would require huge change, would anyone be able to throw some light into why this is the case ? -- -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

'cdpath' is modelled after the shell's CDPATH environment variable. In fact, if you look at the documentation you can see that 'cdpath' is set to the value of CDPATH. The shell doesn't do completion for names that come from a CDPATH location -- at least my Bash shell doesn't. -- David -- -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist. Do not top-post!

Re: :cd 'cdpath'
I am aware of the fact that it's set from $CDPATH and it is doing that correctly. At least in ZSH (which I use), it does complete directory names from the $CDPATH.
