Vim command line completion when opening files?

It works fine when I type for example ":cd /wwTab", but if I want to open a file and type ":o /wwTab", it inserts "^I" character instead of completing. Vim link|improve this question edited Dec 1 '09 at 15:02William Pursell14.8k1129 asked Dec 1 '09 at 14:54Andrey856 50% accept rate.

For more fun try it with :set wildmenu – Ben Dec 3 '09 at 23:49.

Use ":e" or ":split" or other edit commands instead of ":o". Bonus fact: vim doesn't really support the ":o" command, at least not according to the docs. ":help :o" says this: This command is in Vi, but Vim only simulates it: *:o* *:op* *:open* :rangeopen Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.

{Vi: start editing in open mode} :rangeopen /pattern/ As above, additionally move the cursor to the column where "pattern" matches in the cursor line. Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole screen instead of only one line.

Thanks. I've been using GVIM until this time with all those windows shortcuts and dropdown menus, working in console now and missing a lot and trying to learn. – Andrey Dec 1 '09 at 15:09.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
