If you don't want your typed characters to be replaced by the first
completion, just add a mapping like this:
inoremap <C-Space> <C-N><C-P>
Instead of the above map, I set completeopt=menu,preview,longest to get
it work.
and it won't be replaced. If you type, then the list of possible
completions gets smaller. You still have to select the correct entry by
yourself, but if I understand you correctly, this might be very near to
that, which you seem to want.
Yes, it is very near to what I want except one thing. But I don't get
the point why disable to highlight the top entry in the menu in vim7f
(it is not in vim7d)? And I am sure there are many persons who want to
make the top entry highlighted by default. I am not very sure why this
is changed in vim7f?
Now, is there a easy way to make the top entry highlighted automatically?
Best wishes,
Georg
