No feedback at all ? Not even a nice "you dumbass, it doesn't even
compile" or a "this is not a feature, this is a bug, moron" ?

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 ...
