Hi Nazri. Thanks for the fix. There is something else which I see with Vim-7.3g 2570:42bdbc2bbb59 $ vim -u NONE -N :find $HOM<Tab> " does not complete (would be nice to complete env variables) Now something weirder: :find $HOME/<Tab> " completes to /home/pel/$HOME/ (that's not right). Now I see the almost the same thing happening with :e as well: :e $HOME/<Tab> " completes to /home/pel/\$HOME/ That does not look right, I would expect it to complete to /home/pel/ I see the same bug in Vim-7.2.446. -- Dominique -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
