Dear all,
When entering commands on the command line, I often use the completion
facility by pressing tab. I have the wildmode set to longest:full. I
have noticed a 'feature' that I find a little frustrating, however. If
I type:
:help preser<TAB>
it offers me the choices:
:preserve 'preserveindent' 'nopreserveindent'
but doesn't complete the largest common part (preserve). Similarly, if
I then type vei and press <TAB>, it presents me with the latter two
options but doesn't (as I would expect) complete to preserveindent.
Is this because of the quotes (due to it being a setting) or the 'no'
variation or is it because of something else? Is there any way to get
round it?
I think it completes unambiguous continuation if
your substring is at the *beginning* of all alternatives.
Won't complete the unambiguous continuation if
your substring is not at the *beginning* of some alternatives.
