Hi,
I have tried the omni competion, it is very cool!
But there is still one thing that I think is not very convenient.
For example, when I input part of a function name(foobar):
foo| (| is the position of the cursor)
then I invoke the omnicompletion by pressing <C-X><C-O>, consider
the completion list like this:
fooblah
fooblahblah
fooblahblah
foobar
...
...
then the strings inputed will be replaced by the first matched item(here
it is fooblah). If I want to get foobar, I need to press <C-N> several
times. It is not very convenient.
I think it would be better like the following:
After <C-X><C-O>, the inputed string will not be replaced, only the
completion menu shows up, then I can choose the item that I want by
pressing <C-N>; Or, I can go on to input more characters and the
completion menu will update its menu items based on the new input when I
input. So the items in completion menu will become less and less and it
is easier to select the matched item. Inputing more characters is better
than pressing <C-N> several times.
I *believe* this is the purpose of <C-X><C-O><C-P> (someone please correct me
if I am wrong...)
Yes, that is just what I mean. I need to go over the online help :)
Do you know how to make it as the default action, that is make
<C-X><C-O> works like <C-X><C-O><C-P>?
Thanks a lot!

Hope I have described my idea clearly. In fact, it is not my idea,
it is the design of Visual Assistant(visit http://www.wholetomato.com/
for more details, there are some animations ), you can try it if you
have a windows box and visual studio installed.
