Basic insert mode completion for the vis editor.

Vis insert completion

Basic insert mode completion for the vis editor. Works in insert and replace modes and supports multiple selections.

Complete Methods

• line completion:
  • mapped to <C-x><C-l>
• character completion:
  • mapped to <C-Up> and <C-Down>
  • in vim this is mapped to <C-E> and <C-Y>
  • need some improvements, specially to handle multi-byte characters.
• dictionary completion:
  • mapped to <C-x><C-k>
  • dictionary must be a new-line separated list of items.
  • wl.sh is a helper that reads from stdin and prints a new-line separated list of words/WORDS to stdout
  • default dictionary path: ~/.local/share/dict/{syntax}.
  • syntaxes names are the same defined by the filetype.lua plugin
• keyword completion:
  • mapped to <C-n>. Note that this will overwrite standard word completion mapping
  • this method combine the output of shell commands in the completeopts table.
  • the default behaviour is to combine word completion and dictionary completion.

Configuration

You can set some options from init.lua file or from your visrc.lua:

• the path used to load the plugins
• path to dictionary files - dictionary and keyword completion
• number of lines in vis-menu - line completion
• list of shell commands - used by keyword completion method.
