how to map keys for popup menu in vim
function! OmniPopup(action)
if pumvisible()
if a:action == 'j'
return "\<C-N>"
elseif a:action == 'k'
return "\<C-P>"
endif
endif
return a:action
endfunction
inoremap <silent>j <C-R>=OmniPopup('j')<CR>
inoremap <silent>k <C-R>=OmniPopup('k')<CR>
I prefer using the tab key for completion (I am not sure where I got this from):
"tab complete
function! InsertTabWrapper(direction)
let col = col('.') - 1
if !col || getline('.')[col - 1] !~ '\k'
return "\<tab>"
elseif "backward" == a:direction
return "\<c-p>"
else
return "\<c-n>"
endif
endfunction
inoremap <tab> <c-r>=InsertTabWrapper ("forward")<cr>
inoremap <s-tab> <c-r>=InsertTabWrapper ("backward")<cr>
