It's not that confusing. This is not a good reason for not implementing something like 'completedelim'. A better reason would be that nobody feels like implementing it and documenting it. So far there are three options starting with "complete". This is complicated? I thought Vim/Emacs are ultra configurable... and the menu/completion system is a big feature. If it were up to me, I would have an option for what characters end the completion, and also what characters select the current completion and then end the completion... or something like that. Maybe not. At least something like completedelim. --Matt > > -- > ARTHUR: I've said I'm sorry about the old woman, but from the behind you > looked ... > DENNIS: What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an > inferior... > ARTHUR: Well ...
