Is there anyway to configure Supertab, the VIM plugin, so that when I enter a portion of code, and hit tab I can continue typing while narrowing down the suggestions?
For Example in java:
System.out.pr<tab>
Should show a list of options (print, printf, println), but the text should remain
System.out.pr
That is until I hit enter to make a selection.
Also is it possible to see the options, but continue typing to narrow them down?
For Example in c:
pu<tab>
displays lots of options (putc, putc_unlocked, puts, etc)
but as soon as I've hit tab SuperTab highlights the highest option and puts that text there, so I'm left to cycle through the remaining options to choose what I want. Would it be possible to just show the menu of options, but continue typing and see the options change as I type?
Thank you!
I think you're just looking for this:
set completeopt=menu,longest " Use the popup menu by default; only insert the longest common text of the completion matches; don't automatically show extra information in the preview window.
This is already mentioned in the SuperTab help. Also of interest may be the related g:SuperTabLongestHighlight option.
