Hi, I have been using vim for many years now and I finally got around to trying omni-completion, first with Python. Before this I have just had a www browser open on the Python API docs or used pydoc. I am aware of the super-extended versions of the standard completer like jedi-vim, but I find the default completer sufficiently lightweight and fast.
I have a few gripes, that to a vim hacker may be trivial fixes(?): 1) If completion for C-x, C-o yields a single match, then no documentation is shown. Why not? The docs are a nice touch and often I know the name of the function, just not the parameters. 2) If you type a whole function name and press C-x, C-o then I get the message: "-- Omni completion (^O^N^P) Pattern not found". Why not say that there was a single match and show the docs? 3) After pressing C-x, C-o and continuing typing, the list of suggestions disappears. Why not keep it there until a match is typed or until there are no longer matches? Are these easy fixes? I have had a look in pythoncompletion.vim in an attempt to fix 1 and 2, but could not see where the documentation window is opened.
