Re: [Vimprobable-users] Fuzzy (think emac's helm) tab completion on history

[Matthew C. <mc...@ah...>]

Actually it's one or more words, I just happened to use two in my samples.
It splits the search terms on the spaces and filters via matching all terms/seed words (the more partial words, the more specific the matches).
You may be right on the tab part (I use a laptop from 2008 myself) and it is nice to not lose speed running over terms.
If you see any issue with the code let me know, my c is a bit rusty :)

Hi Matthew, nice work.

I find this feature useful, but why two "seed" words instead of one?

I know it is a popular feature, and many people find it useful.  But I
find it quite annoying, especially when I use slow computers.  I prefer
to type what I want, without suggestions, and decide when to complete it
by pressing tab. I don't want any program to waste system resources
trying to guess what I want to type, keypress after keypress :) Same
problem about the incremental searches on texts.

But anyway, all such features related to the interface should be
configurable (in any program, I mean, not just in Vimprobable2). The
user should be able to turn them on and off.
