I think what you're really asking is for a way to exclude buffers or files from being processed by insert-mode completion, if you know scanning them will be slow. This could be true for very large file, or for files on a network share, or files that require reading with autocmds to unzip them or something. I support such an option. I like keeping 'path' fairly large for searching with :find for a file, but this makes insert completion very slow if I allow it to search in included files. Previously when we were using ClearCase on my team, EVERY insert completion that scanned other files was slow, because the ClearCase "dynamic view" mapped network drive is painfully slow. I had to turn off most of the completion functions. I'd certainly use a filter to remove specific directories from insert completion scanning, were it available. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
