First off, many thanks to the author. This is an amazing plugin and has improved my productivity when working with large, multifile projects.

I just have one little gripe which I'm sure is easy to fix but couldn't figure it out within the settings. To save a file I must type `:w <ENTER> <ENTER>`. This is because `:w` shows the autosuggestion dropdown with `:write` suggested, Enter to select it, then Enter to execute it.

Does anyone know a way to fix this so that `:w <ENTER>` wil save it correctly.

Thanks

The reason the 2nd <ENTER> is needed is that ":write" has an optional argument, note the "…" in the autosuggestion dropdown.

In Menu>Tools>Options>jVi>Platform notice: ":" command completion auto popup.
Uncheck this and then ':w <ENTER>' works. Use Ctrl-<space> or Ctrl-D to bring up the completion list.

This is still a bug. There are "optional" arguments in generic vi and vim too but only 1 <enter> press is required there.</enter>

ShadowCreeper,

Did you turn off

":" command completion auto popup

as described above?
