Vis insert completion

Basic insert mode completion for the vis editor. Works in insert and replace modes and supports multiple selections.

Complete Methods

• line completion:
  • mapped to <C-x><C-l>
• character completion:
  • mapped to <C-Up> and <C-Down>
  • in vim this is mapped to <C-E> and <C-Y>
  • need some improvements, specially to handle multi-byte characters.
• dictionary completion:
  • mapped to <C-x><C-k>
  • dictionary must be a new-line separated list of items.
  • wl.sh is a helper that reads from stdin and prints a new-line separated list of words/WORDS to stdout
  • default dictionary path: ~/.local/share/dict/{syntax}.
  • syntaxes names are the same defined by the filetype.lua plugin
• keyword completion:
  • mapped to <C-n>. Note that this will overwrite standard word completion mapping
  • this method combine the output of shell commands in the completeopts table.
  • the default behaviour is to combine word completion and dictionary completion.

Configuration

You can set some options from init.lua file or from your visrc.lua:

• the path used to load the plugins

• number of lines in vis-menu - line completion
• list of shell commands - used by keyword completion method.
