Vim tab auto-completion for buffer names doesn't work if files are on
different directory levels. Steps to reproduce:
(1) set wildmode=longest,list in vimrc
(2) vim usa1.txt test/usa2.txt
(3) type ":b u" in EX mode, then press TAB, it is expected to auto
complete the word up to :b usa, which is the common header of two file
names. But it just doesn't work.
Any solutions? Thanks a lot!
PS: if the above two files are placed on the SAME directory, it
works!!!!!
The following works for me:
(in the shell)
mkdir test
cd test
mkdir test
touch usa1
touch test/usa2
vim usa1 test/usa2
(in Vim)
:b u<Tab>
the wildmenu (with 'wildmenu' on) shows
usa1 test/usa2
Both names are in the completion list.
Of course, since there is no *common* left-hand part (the one starts
with u, the other with t), nothing is added on the command-line. (If you
typed ":edit usa2" it would edit usa2 in the current directory (a new
file), not test/usa2)
Best regards,
Tony.
