I give up. The procedure you came up with works for other keys but not for <C-N> (and possibly <C-P> as well). The function doesn't even get called when completion popup is visible. Even for other keys where the function gets called, I made several attempts to do what I want and none worked properly. What I want is to remap <Down> to <C-N> (which is no problem) but to also move the cursor to the end of the line before doing <C-N>. I had two mixed results. In the first result, I am able to move the cursor to the end, but <C-N> will then be treated as a trigger for fresh insert mode completion (and I am not using a 'completefunc' to set matches, so my completions get overwritten by what Vim generates by default). In the second result, <C-N> works, but the cursor is not moved to the end of the line. I tried to use all kinds of tricks mixing the use of feedkeys(), inputsave/restore() and others. Something is very fishy about <C-N>, when it is anywhere in the map (LHS or RHS), everything else gets ignored. -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
