Looks like you have ideas for omni-completion on Vim files. You may want
to define 'omnifunc' in a script of one of the following names:
user-private on Windows
$HOME/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/vim.vim
user-private on Unix
$HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/vim.vim
system-wide on any platform
$VIM/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/vim.vim
(Create the directory if it doesn't exist yet.)
You may want to wrap the function definition and the "set omnifunc="
statement inside "if exists('+omnifunc')" to avoid errors with version-6
Vim.
Then once your function is defined, type (in Insert mode) "end" (without
the quotes) followed by Ctrl-X Ctrl-O and, if applicable, the word
should be completed to one of "endif" "endwhile" "endfor" "endtry" or
"endfunction". Hit Ctr-X Ctrl-O on a line with only zero or more spaces
or tabs before the cursor, and you should get a menu of Ex-commands. And
so on. The current ftplugin/vim.vim doesn't (yet) set up
omni-completion, but IMHO it's a blemish -- at some future date (and you
can help with it if you feel up to the task) the mechanism should become
integrated within $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/vim.vim and described under the
not-yet-existent ":help ft-vim-omni". (In the meantime, you may document
what you write, by creating, for instance, a new helpfile named
"$VIM/vimfiles/doc/omni.txt". Then you'll run ":helptags
$VIM/vimfiles/doc" once to create (or update) a "tags" file in that
directory so that from then on your "own" help will be automagically
integrated with the Vim help on your system.
You may want to use as a source of inspiration the existing
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/c.vim, $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/html.vim, etc., which
do define omni-completion. Don't change anything in the directory tree
starting at $VIMRUNTIME, however, because any upgrade may silently
change it back.
see
:help compl-omni
:help complete-functions
:help 'omnifunc'
:help ft-*-omni<Ctrl-D> or :help ft-*-omni<Tab>
:help after-directory
:help 'runtimepath'
etc.
