I had a lot of problems trying to get this to work as well.
In the end I was unable to map it without making a function call.
autoload/sqlcomplete.vim does the following:
if has('win32')
imap <buffer> <c-right> <C-R>=sqlcomplete#DrillIntoTable()<CR>
imap <buffer> <c-left> <C-R>=sqlcomplete#DrillOutOfColumns()<CR>
endif
function! sqlcomplete#DrillIntoTable()
" If the omni popup window is visible
if pumvisible()
call sqlcomplete#Map('column')
" C-Y, makes the currently highlighted entry active
" and trigger the omni popup to be redisplayed
call feedkeys("\<C-Y>\<C-X>\<C-O>")
else
if has('win32')
" If the popup is not visible, simple perform the normal
" <C-Right> behaviour
exec "normal! \<C-Right>"
endif
endif
return ""
endfunction
In this case, if the popup window is not visible I want to perform the
standard <C-Right> so the user does not loose any functionality due to the
mapping.
For the lurkers, this is for Vim7 since pumvisible() and feedkeys() are Vim7
functions.
