It seems we are agree about the <Right> behaviour when 'wildmenu' is on.
Can you quote me this part of the documentation ? I don't remember have
read somewhere that the Right-arrow is disabled when default settings are
applied, but just that 'wildmenu' gives it a specific behaviour.
,----[ :h 'wildmenu' ]-
| <Left> <Right> - select previous/next match (like CTRL-P/CTRL-N)
`----
Yes, I know.
,----[ :h c_<Right> ]-
| *c_<Right>* *c_Right*
| <Right> cursor right
`----
Yes, I know. But what can happen when the cursor is already at the end
of the line ? On your systems, nothing; but on mine, <Right> works like
<Down>... my apologies, but I'm not responsible of this fact, even if it
not documented. I just say it exists on my Debian system with Vim version
7.3.547-4.
AFAIK, with 'wildmenu' on, when the cursor is already at the end of the
statusline you get one further screenwidth of menuitems if there are
any; and when it is on the last menuitem, <Right> brings you to what you
typed with no completion, and <Right> again wraps around to the first
menuitem. Except that if there is only a single matching completion,
<Tab> adds it on the commandline and no menu appears.
Debian is infamous for bringing so-called "improvements" to software,
even sometimes breaking the functionality desired by the software's
author, and without making it obvious what changes they brought. (Part,
but not all, of the Firefox-Thunderbird-SeaMonkey vs.
Iceweasel-Icedove-Iceape contestation was about this behaviour.) I
wonder what you would see with a Vim built from Bram's authentic
sources. See the following HowTo pages:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
Also, even if Debian didn't break Vim this time, the current patchlevel
is 7.3.687; patch 547 was published a little more than 4 months ago.
Maybe the bug was fixed in the meantime? See
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README for a one-line summary of
every official patch to Vim 7.3.
Have you even tried to verify your assertions without loading your
system/user vimrc ?
Of course I have on Windows as on Linux.
OK. In that case the solution about the different behaviours of the <Right>
key should come from out of the box. Maybe readline settings or terminfo
or something else... (I have made some tests with different settings in my
.inputrc, with 'convert-meta' on/off and some others, but nothing: in my
case <Right> is useful in commandmode completion, that's all; I will surely
not complain about that).
