Hi,
Path completion (C-X C-F) does not recognize /tmp as a path, rather
it recognize PATH=/tmp as a path. I'm wondering if there is a way to
change this "feature" of vim? Thanks!
Not sure why "feature" is in quotes. It is a feature. It's
controlled by the 'isfname' (= 'isf') option. Filenames can contain
'='.
To prevent Vim from thinking '=' is valid:
set isf-==
See:
:help 'isf'
export TEST_VAR=/tmp/a====b/
It seems that vim is unaware of the context of '='. The first '=' and
the remaining '='s mean differently, using isf, vim does not recognize
the remaining '='s correctly. That is why I call it "feature". I know
making vim more context sensitive require more resources (as it
requires parsing, which is against the speed philosophy of vim), which
may not be implement in vim.
But I'm just wondering, in case there is a solution. Do you know?
If you want it to be "smarter" you can always switch to omnicompletion
(C-X C-O) and handle the context sensitivity in a function. So, short
answer: there's no easy way to add it, but for the 95-99% of cases where
you don't have directory names with '=' in them, 'isf' suffices.
Although, come to think of it, you might be able to easily add this for
the filetype 'sh' completion, since you can test the syntax for the
preceding items (so, something after shSetIdentifier, and possibly
':'-separated if the identifier has 'PATH' in it, etc.). Regardless,
it'd be 'omnicompletion' and not file completion, and AFAIK it's
unwritten. Perhaps someone else knows of a plugin that does this
already.
