Please bottom-post on this list. You can search recursively if you set the 'path' option properly. See :help file-searching. The same applies to the 'tags' option, the glob() function, and probably some other things. I'd recommend trying it out to see how it impacts your performance, though the ctags suggestion may also fit your needs. If you do add a lot of directories to your path (or really deep recursive searches) you'll probably want to remove the 'i' and 'd' flags from your 'complete' option. Otherwise it will search for every included file in your path and then search the text of each of those files whenever you start basic insert-mode completion which can make it take a LOT longer. Probably setting your path to a very narrow tree based on the project a certain file is in is the way around this one, but I haven't bothered myself to try it. I use tag completion far more often than completion from included files anyway. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
