There are two problems in completion. I wrote a patch. Please check
the following.
1. 'ignorecase' does not work for completion.
For example, when ":set nosmartcase ignorecase" and buffer is
1: foo
2: Foo
Then, complete with
3: <C-N>
or
3: f<C-N>
or
3: F<C-N>
In all cases, only "foo" is matched.
Hmm, setting 'ignorecase' was used as a hint that case doesn't matter.
However, when it's set just to find more matches, you will still want to
complete words with different case, I suppose.
I expect
'noignorecase' 'ignorecase'
3: <C-N> 3: <C-N>
foo foo
Foo Foo
3: f<C-N> 3: f<C-N>
foo foo
Foo
3: F<C-N> 3: F<C-N>
Foo foo
Foo
This is same as searching behavior. And before 7.0.068, Vim behaved as
I expect.
I wonder if this change causes a problem in combination with other
things, such as using "longest" in 'completeopt'.
My patch seems to work with "longest". But maybe it should be tested
for other completion method. I checked only i_CTRL-X_CTRL-N.
2. Completion is slow when 'completeopt' doesn't have "menu" and
"menuone". Until search finished, current selected item is not
displayed and typed key is not handled (except CTRL-C).
I wonder when this is noticable. I do see a match displayed before the
search is finished. Is this only in a very long file perhaps?
Yes, I worry for very long file. The unoperatable time I complained to
is only 3 or 5 seconds, but I don't like it. And I think there is no
reason to not check if key is typed while searching, only when popup
menu is not used.
By the way, I got a crash with plain vim when 'completeopt' doesn't have
"longest" and CTRL-L is used while completing.
Reproducing:
$ vim -u NONE
:execute "normal! ifoo\n\<C-N>\<C-P>\<C-L>"
This is stacktrace.
