'cdpath' is modelled after the shell's CDPATH environment variable. In fact, if you look at the documentation you can see that 'cdpath' is set to the value of CDPATH. The shell doesn't do completion for names that come from a CDPATH location -- at least my Bash shell doesn't. -- David -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
