Swapping Ctrl-n and Ctrl-p about supertab

Please see #21 and #16.

Ah apologies, I didn't realize that github had a separate section for closed issues :p

[ervandew]

No problem :)

Having read through those issues, I'm still not sure what I'm seeing is intended. You wrote, "<c-p> highlights the nearest matching word located above the current cursor position, which is the result at the bottom of the completion popup." What I'm seeing is that, with SuperTab installed and using all the defaults, <c-p> no longer does that. Instead, <c-n> does that, and <c-p> behaves like <c-n> used to. If I let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = "<c-n>", then <c-n> and <c-p> are back to normal (though the behavior of Tab is changed, of course).

Should SuperTab be modifying the behavior of <c-n> and <c-p>?

Yeah my description of <c-p> was a description of the vanilla vim behavior. Supertab does take control of those keys so that the behavior of <tab> equates to <c-n> and <s-tab> to <c-p> providing consistency throughout the completion. Ideally supertab would only map those keys when in completion mode, but aside from checking if the completion popup is visible (which some people may disable entirely) there is no way to determine if the user is in completion mode.
