Tab completion

Tab completion is one of the distinct features of Vimprobable. Tab completion improves the efficiency in the day to day use of the browser.

Tab-completion works on most commands. Below follow some examples.

Opening an URL

When the user has to provide an URL tab completion can be very helpfull.

Type a part of the URL and hit <tab>.

Vimprobable will now try to complete the URL. To do so it looks in the browser-history and in the bookmarks. Matching URLs are shown. Use <tab> to cycle through this list of matching URLs.

Entering a command

While entering [ColonCommands] tab completion can be used to find the right command and to find the fitting options.

After entering a colon (:) and one or more characters hit the <tab> key. Now Vimprobable tries to find matching [ColonCommands]. It there are one or more matching commands, a list of commands is shown. Use <tab> to cycle through this list.

Example:

Type ":q" and hit <tab>. Now a list of [ColonCommands] which start with "q" is shown.

When a colon command is entered that has several possible options, tab completion helps to select the desired options.

Example:

Type ":set" followed by a space and hit the <tab> key. Vimprobable now searches for the possible options that can be set with :set and shows a list of these options. Use <tab> to cycle through this list.
