You can press <C-E> to close the popup, just like for the normal completion popup. Escape restores the old value, but doesn't close the popup. There is a lot of scope for improvements with the combobox, but using the Vim native popup features, it is very hard to do this. I am thinking of using a recursive <expr> map in combination of getchar() to make this better, but I don't know if it will work. It is right now usable, though a bit flaky. > Entering the Country field. > If you cursor is on U, press C. I wanted to just type "Canada", but of > course C in normal mode changes to end of line.

I encourage to break it in other ways and let me know how you did it. There is no reward for breaking though :) (well, you could consider a more robust form.vim as a reward). > So I restarted the form. > When to USA hit cw, typed in "Canaada". > Realized my mistake, but my cursor on the a and hit x. > Since I was in visual mode this left me with "xada".

This is an issue with complete(), you can only specify the start column, and end column is restricted to the current column, so you can't complete an item when the cursor is in the middle of it. I faced this same issue with LookupFile also, and the solution was to just hide the popup if the cursor is not at the end. I did the same thing here, so you shouldn't see this anymore. > That is all I had a chance to try this morning. Thanks for trying, I was actually counting on you :) -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
