Hi!
I'm new to vim (vim7.2 on Ubuntu 8.04), please be patient w/ me.
The following is from the Help pages:
"When doing keyword completion in insert mode |ins-completion|,
and
'ignorecase' is also on, the case of the match is adjusted depending
on the typed text. If the typed text contains a lowercase letter
where the match has an upper case letter, the completed part is made
lowercase. If the typed text has no lowercase letters and the match
has a lowercase letter where the typed text has an uppercase letter,
and there is a letter before it, the completed part is made uppercase.
With 'noinfercase' the match is used as-is."
But in reality, the case does NOT change!
Try the following:
----------------------------------------
" create an Omni-function
function! MyFunction(findstart, base)
if a:findstart
let line = getline('.')
let start = col('.')-1
while start > 0 && line[start-1] =~ '\a'
let start-=1
endwhile
return start
else
let res=split('lowercase UPPERCASE mixedCase')
let res2=[]
for m in res
if m =~ '^' .a:base
call add(res2, m)
endif
endfor
return res2
endif
endfunction
set omnifunc=MyFunction
" set both options (ignorecase and infercase) per the help pages
set infercase
set ignorecase
-------------------------------
(end of script). http://old.nabble.com/file/p28837585/exmple exmple
now when I invoke Omni-function - i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O - here are the results:
Typing the string 'upper', then CTRL-X_CTRL-O, and CTRL-Y (to accept
completion), I get 'UPPERCASE'.
Typing the string 'mixedC', then CTRL-X_CTRL-O, and CTRL-Y (to accept
completion), I get 'mixedCase'.
Typing the string 'LOWER', then CTRL-X_CTRL-O, and CTRL-Y (to accept
completion), I get 'lowercase'.
i.e the case is still exactly the same as in the PopUpMenu, even though both
'infercase' and 'ignorecase' are set.
Please check the attached file for the above script.
Thank you so much in advance for looking into it.
