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 ...
