Some or most of your needs may be met by inherent Vim capability. Have a look at: :h ins-completion After glancing at that, I'm able to autocomplete "automatically" by typing au<CTRL-X><CTRL-N> in this reply. OK, since that uses the current file as dictionary, it also offered "autocomplete" as a second option. If I had wanted that, then <CTRL-N> or <CTRL-P> provide rotation through the offered alternatives. But you asked for dictionary-driven autocompletion. That is described in subsection 3. A look at: :h dictionary as well, should sort that out for you. By far the easiest way to sort a rated list, such as: autocomplete 2 automatically 42 automaton 142 calipers 7 would be to pipe the file through "sort -nr". Doing it with just that paragraph, within Vim, using "!}sort -nr" gave: calipers 7 automaton 142 automatically 42 autocomplete 2 Yes, that should reduce the number of <CTRL-N>s needed to reach the most common alternatives with common leading spelling. (Only one for "au", with that dictionary.) Erik -- The UN also estimates that the current global population of 7.2 billion will reach 9.6 billion by 2050. That is a faster rate of growth than previously estimated. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22907307 -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
