Re: Autocomplete doesn't work in Word/Outlook

Hello

c-n and c-p, which autocompletes text based on other text in the open window (and other windows/buffers) in Vim, does not work in ViEmu for Word/Outlook. I am not passing it through to Word/Outlook.

Is this supposed to work because it's not mentioned in the FAQ section on differences from Vim?

Thanks

Praful

Re: Autocomplete doesn't work in Word/Outlook

Yes, indeed, Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P in ViEmu/VS are implemented using VS's autocomplete mechanism, and they do nothing in Word&Outlook. We plan to implement vim-style filescan-autocompletion in all the ViEmus and provide it in a future version, not too far in the future (it's high up in the todo list). Unfortunately, I can't give specific dates.

Regards,
