patch 9.1.1166: command-line auto-completion hard with wildmenu
Problem: command-line auto-completion hard with wildmenu Solution: implement "noselect" wildoption value (Girish Palya) When `noselect` is present in `wildmode` and 'wildmenu' is enabled, the completion menu appears without pre-selecting the first item. This change makes it easier to implement command-line auto-completion, where the menu dynamically appears as characters are typed, and `<Tab>` can be used to manually select an item. This can be achieved by leveraging the `CmdlineChanged` event to insert `wildchar(m)`, triggering completion menu. Without this change, auto-completion using the 'wildmenu' mechanism is not feasible, as it automatically inserts the first match, preventing dynamic selection. The following Vimscript snippet demonstrates how to configure auto-completion using `noselect`: ```vim vim9script set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu autocmd CmdlineChanged : timer_start(0, function(CmdComplete, [getcmdline()])) def CmdComplete(cur_cmdline: string, timer: number) var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()] if cur_cmdline ==# cmdline # Avoid completing each character in keymaps and pasted text && !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1 if cmdline[curpos - 2] =~ '[\w*/:]' # Reduce noise by completing only selected characters feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti") set eventignore+=CmdlineChanged # Suppress redundant completion attempts timer_start(0, (_) => { getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00$', '', '')->setcmdline() # Remove <C-@> if no completion items exist set eventignore-=CmdlineChanged }) endif endif enddef ``` fixes: #16551 closes: #16759 Signed-off-by: Girish Palya <girishji@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
