No, the omni-completion menu only works in Insert mode. Using the popup menu in other modes is currently not supported. There is the GUI popup menu, like it's used for spell checking. -- ARTHUR: Then who is your lord? WOMAN: We don't have a lord. ARTHUR: What? DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune.

Let me rephrase my question: Is it possible to display the omni-completion menu in normal mode, eg from a function called in normal mode? I don't want to set omnifunc or completefunc for this. Regards, Thomas.

How to display a omni-comletion menu from a vim script function?
Hi, I would like to use the new vim7 drop-down menu that is used with the new omni-completion from a vim script in order to let the user select an item from a list. I figured I could temporarily set &omnifunc and use this to build the list. But I wasn't able to find a way to trigger the display of the menu from within a vim script. Does somebody have an idea of how to display the menu? Say, we have: fun! MyComplete(findstart, base) ... endf fun! DoSomething() let omnifunc = &omnifunc let &omnifunc = 'MyComplete' try +++DISPLAY MENU+++ return 0 finally let &omnifunc = omnifunc endtry endf How would the "DISPLAY MENU" part look like? Regards, Thomas.
