How do I add a string so that it occurs at the prompt which is spaned
by the input() command? I could potentially delete all or part of this
string or just start typing after it.
My prompt might look like:
Enter item to search for: set_
^
cursor
The "set_" will be added to whatever I type at the cursor.
Thanks
See ":help input()"
The input() function takes (at least in Vim 7) up to three arguments, as
follows:
input({prompt} [, {text} [, {completion}]])
{prompt} is the "question" text Vim will ask the user
{text} if present and not empty, is the default reply. IIUC, this is what you
want.
{completion} (optional) is the kind of completion to use. Valid values (which
must be quoted) are:
augroup
buffer
command
dir
environment
event
expression
file
shellcmd
function
help
highlight
mapping
menu
option
tag
tag_listfiles
var
custom,{func}
customlist,{func}
(see ":help command-complete").
Best regards,
Tony.
