I use this kind of lists very often. And I do not have a TAB-bed window. I tried to describe a use case, but it is difficult to convince by describing it... Completion would be one way, however that is also limited, as you cannot search in the completion lists. I tried to describe this with the MRU files list. I use such lists intensively, and I am sure most of you do so. I have other lists like lists of links, lists of files in a projects. And the usage pattern is to find quickly a file in this list, and either insert it at the cursors position, or do a command on it. Another usage is translation. If I could open a file with translation of words in a certain language, I could search fast in the list (and more than 50% of the cases I search nor for from the beginning nor at the end of the word, I search for the pattern in the word that would bring me the result the fastest). Once the word found, enter, the result would be inserted at cursor position. Well... I will have a look at the code and investigate myself.. I hoped smbdy would share my idea.. -- rgrds, mobi phil being mobile, but including technology http://mobiphil.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
