Hi list,
I'm using vim 6.3 and was thinking about upgrading to 7.0 especially
because of the new omni completion feature. But at the moment I'm not
quite sure what I would gain as there is the old Ctrl-n key in insert
mode which does code completion. So what does omni completion add that
Ctrl-n doesn't know currently?
In addition to what Mikolaj mentioned, Vim 7 also has many new features not
related to omni completion:
- New data types: Lists and Dictionaries
- New script language interface (if compiled-in): MzScheme (in addition to the
existing perl, python, ruby and tcl).
- True tabbed editing (with as many windows as you like in a tab page)
- Spell checking
- Internal grep (think of ":helpgrep" with arbitrary list of files to search)
- Scrolling back and forth at the more-prompt
- plus too many bugfixes for me to mention them all.
The latest patchlevel is 7.0.188. I don't think Vim 6.4 (and earlier) will get
any more bugfixes.
Best regards,
Tony.
