I'm both working on a new plugin (C#) and using a couple of existing ones. I tried the hack of returning the original text as well. It works if you are using omni complete on demand. However I would like to add automatic omni complete after certain characters such as '.'. In that case you can't insert the existing text (there isn't any) and if you try and return '' as one of the valid words omni complete will just ignore it.

If you are writing a plugin, then it is easy for you to do this, but if you are using an existing plugin, you might have to wrap the original function and add the original text before returning it. The omni completion plugins should probably make this a standard setting. -- HTH, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
