During insert-mode completion, there's no visual feedback when hitting backspace.
Just now I typed some characters and hit ^P. It went searching through header files so I realised I'd made a typo, since the match should have come from the current file. I had typed "FOOCAR" instead of "FOOBAR" say. In vim 6.3 I could have just hit backspace a few times, corrected my typo, and then done the completion again. You can still do that, but as you hit backspace the text on the screen does not change (at least not while it's still searching through header files, which lasts 15 seconds in a test I just did). I hit backspace and I still just see "FOOCAR". I hit backspace again and still I just see "FOOCAR". Another backspace and the text changes to show a match from the current file "FOOLPROOF" or whatever. But the lack of feedback in the meantime is confusing, and I can't tell what my backspace did or whether it did anything. I should have seen "FOOCA" then "FOOC". I'm also still finding it annoying when I ^N/^P past the end of the match-menu while vim is still searching. This should simply cycle around the matches listed so far. Instead it get stuck making it hard to get back onto the existing menu at all. Thanks, Rob. -- Robert Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Want to make polyhedra? http://www.software3d.com/Stella.html
