When starting vim as follows vim -u NONE -c "set nocompatible | set wildmenu | set wildmode=longest:full,full"
if you perform :e<Tab> you get a list of commands starting with 'e' and the command line is unchanged (still only contains 'e'). The only issue, is that the first entry in the list is highlighted, but the command line does not contain that text. The fact that the entry is highlighted should indicate that the text is on the command line and a <cr> will execute that command (like how ins-completion works). -- eric
