RE: Inability to map C-N when completion popup is visible

Subject: Inability to map C-N when completion popup is visible
I am trying to map C-N and C-P to behave differently when
pumvisible() returns true, but Vim seems to completely ignore this.
E.g., if I create this unconditional map (a much simpler one
than what I
wanted):
inoremap C-N C-C
pressing ^N normally stops insertmode, but when popup is
visible, Vim never executes the map. This may be true for
C-P also, but the same is not true for, say Up.
inoremap Up C-C
Using the above map, pressing Up arrow always stops insert
mode, whether popup is visible or not. Is this a bug? I
tested by starting with -u NONE option to avoid any other
interferences.
I had a lot of problems trying to get this to work as well.
In the end I was unable to map it without making a function call.
autoload/sqlcomplete.vim does the following:
if has('win32')
imap buffer c-right C-R=sqlcomplete#DrillIntoTable()CR
imap buffer c-left C-R=sqlcomplete#DrillOutOfColumns()CR
endif
function! sqlcomplete#DrillIntoTable()
If the omni popup window is visible
if pumvisible()
call sqlcomplete#Map('column')
C-Y, makes the currently highlighted entry active
and trigger the omni popup to be redisplayed
call feedkeys(\C-Y\C-X\C-O)
else
if has('win32')
If the popup is not visible, simple perform the normal
C-Right behaviour
exec normal! \C-Right
endif
endif
return
endfunction
In this case, if the popup window is not visible I want to perform the
standard C-Right so the user does not loose any functionality due to the
mapping.
For the lurkers, this is for Vim7 since pumvisible() and feedkeys() are Vim7
functions.

I give up. The procedure you came up with works for other keys but not
for C-N (and possibly C-P as well). The function doesn't even get
called when completion popup is visible. Even for other keys where the
function gets called, I made several attempts to do what I want and none
worked properly. What I want is to remap Down to C-N (which is no
problem) but to also move the cursor to the end of the line before doing
C-N. I had two mixed results. In the first result, I am able to move
the cursor to the end, but C-N will then be treated as a trigger for
fresh insert mode completion (and I am not using a 'completefunc' to set
matches, so my completions get overwritten by what Vim generates by
default). In the second result, C-N works, but the cursor is not moved
to the end of the line. I tried to use all kinds of tricks mixing
the use of feedkeys(), inputsave/restore() and others. Something is very
fishy about C-N, when it is anywhere in the map (LHS or RHS),
everything else gets ignored.

I'm quite sure the current mechanism should not be changed. Note that vimrun is only meant to be invoked from Vim, not by anything else. Windows might pass a COMSPEC string with slash arguments (slash in Windows is like hyphen in UNIX). Does system() work at all then? Also, vim (not vimrun but the vim.exe) doesn't seem to have honored the :set shell= stuff. It used the COMSPEC string despite the shell specified. For to trigger this issue set COMSPEC=...\cmd.exe /e:2048 and try to do !!dir Appears to work fine for me. Keep in mind that when you change 'shell' you also need to change other options, such as 'shellredir'. But I assume 'shell' didn't change here, only $COMSPEC. Vim essentially uses system() to execute 'shell'. This is tricky, but the only what that works reliably. -- Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot, He was not afraid to die, Oh Brave Sir Robin, He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.

RE: Inability to map C-N when completion popup is visible
On Fri, 16 Jun 2006 at 11:25am, Max Dyckhoff wrote: I give up. The procedure you came up with works for other keys but not for C-N (and possibly C-P as well). The function doesn't even get called when completion popup is visible. Even for other keys where the function gets called, I made several attempts to do what I want and none worked properly. What I want is to remap Down to C-N (which is no problem) but to also move the cursor to the end of the line before doing C-N. I had two mixed results. In the first result, I am able to move the cursor to the end, but C-N will then be treated as a trigger for fresh insert mode completion (and I am not using a 'completefunc' to set matches, so my completions get overwritten by what Vim generates by default). In the second result, C-N works, but the cursor is not moved to the end of the line. I tried to use all kinds of tricks mixing the use of feedkeys(), inputsave/restore() and others. Something is very fishy about C-N, when it is anywhere in the map (LHS or RHS), everything else gets ignored. There is a high probability that I am being dense, but it actually seems to work for me now. Here is what I'm doing. :imap C-N C-R=Wibble()CR function! Wibble() if pumvisible() return visible else return unvisible endif endf I type the beginning of a tag (actor_) and press C-P to open up the popup menu. Vim enters the first match (actor_get), and I then press C-N, and it changes the string to actor_getvisible. In normal insert mode pressing C-N just enters unvisible. Either I am misunderstanding the problem, or maybe I'm just special? Let me know if you need any more details of my setup. Max Strange... this works for me as well when I am not in my plugin window, but when the cursor is in the plugin window, it gets completely ignored (the breakpoint doesn't even get called, no buffer mapping for C-N to hide this, I checked). This beats me, but I think this is because of the way I am setting completion items. Instead of using the traditional 'completefunc' or 'omnifunc' approach (which involves invoking a keysequence), I am using the CursorMovedI event to set completions as soon as user types something (this is because, the whole purpose of the plugin is to show matches, so there is no point asking the user to press C-XC-U or any other key). Looks like I need to look deeper into the problem. Thanks to all. -- Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

I find omni complete very useful but it's incredibly annoying that it auto-chooses one of the entries. I'd prefer it popup the list of suggestions but not modify the buffer. You can workaround this by always returning the original text also as the first match. If you are writing a plugin, then it is easy for you to do this, but if you are using an existing plugin, you might have to wrap the original function and add the original text before returning it.

Re: Makefile indentation with spaces for line continuation

Yes. In Insert mode, you could either (a) hit Ctrl-v followed by Tab (b) hit Ctrl-v followed by Ctrl-i (c) hold down Ctrl and type vi (c) is essentially (b), but has a nice ring to it ;) Entering tab characters explicitly is what I normally do when editing makefiles, since I have 'expandtab' set.

The Swiss are more logic (they write Strasse) but also more prone to confusion: Ich trinke Alkohol in Massen. -- which might mean I drink alcohol in moderation or I drink alcohol galore. c :-) Maß (measure) vs. Masse (mass). Some say the reason why the Swiss don't use the eszet anymore (except, maybe, in archaic or pseudo-archaic lettering) is that they have no room for it on the QWERTZ keyboards of their Franco-Italo-German typewriters. I don't know if it is true. Best regards, Tony.

RE: Making Omni Complete suggest but not complete
I'm both working on a new plugin (C#) and using a couple of existing ones. I tried the hack of returning the original text as well. It works if you are using omni complete on demand. However I would like to add automatic omni complete after certain characters such as '.'. In that case you can't insert the existing text (there isn't any) and if you try and return '' as one of the valid words omni complete will just ignore it.

In UTF-8 encoding, ~ over an ß in Vim doesn't change it, which IMHO is an error. In a Swiss locale (including Liechtenstein), the eszet ß is not used. I don't know if this is related to what you're saying about latin1 vs. latin2. In other German-language locales: - ss may be used instead of ß if the latter is unavailable, e.g., on a typewriter with no ß glyph - the uppercase form of ß is SS - the lowercase form of SS is ß after a long vowel, ss otherwise according to the latest -- and still controversial -- reform of German orthography, which is supposed to be official since 1 August 1998 and mandatory starting 1 August 2006. I've heard that many German speakers and German-language publishers still cling to the older spelling (established ca. 1901). IIUC, the uppercase form of ß was SZ before that older reform; hence the name eszet. In Fraktur or black-letter fonts, the ß glyph is a ligature consisting of a long s and a z, instead of long s + short s as in Roman fonts. (The long s looks like an f without the horizontal bar.)
