Seems like the same problem I reported recently regarding the <BS> triggering an insert-mode completion (as if ^X^N or ^X^L is pressed). Does Vim show "Whole line completion" or something like that at the bottom while it is scanning for matches? You should be able to press ^C for Vim to stop doing this (worked for me at least). -- Thanks, Hari > > In any case, after looking at a frozen vim for a few minutes, I realised > it was never going to come back to me.
