Isn't that mostly a matter of documenting it? I, for one, would appreciate the possibility to "remap" the keys in the special "pumvisible" mode (e.g. the CTRL-X_CTRL-N "copy the words following the previous expansion"). Please forgive my ignorance, I haven't yet tried whether that is now possible with InsertCharPre and changing v:char, but I remember that I once wanted to remap those keys and found out that I couldn't via the usual :imap commands. (A (compatibility-breaking) alternative would be to extend the popup menu into a proper sub-mode of insert mode, complete with :pummap, etc.; I have never found the pumvisible() checks for insert-mode mappings particularly elegant.) -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
