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

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

This patch allows you to type something like:

ahu twit TAB

and get an auto-complete to:

https://twitter.com/_ahungry (assuming it was in your history).

Makes finding past pages when you only recall the general gist of what
was in the URL quite easy, for instance, you could find past programming
blogs with:

prog blog TAB

Let me know what you think!

(now if only I could get it to narrow down results as you type vs having
to press tab...)

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.

This looks very useful!

What is important to me, however, is that the default behaviour (if
just one word is entered) remains the same as currently. At a first
glance at the code, this seems to be the case. Do you confirm?

Hi Hannes,

Thanks - it should perform the same as always when given single words
(although it is one extra function call vs pre-patch, but I
think it's quite a small overhead).
