Variable type? about cmp-cmdline HOT 14 CLOSED

Let's make another issue.

from cmp-cmdline.

I have the same problem. After trying various commits, looks like this one broke it: d8738f0

from cmp-cmdline.

I've got same problem.

@uga-rosa @hrsh7th Any chance we can revert d8738f0 to fix this issue?

from cmp-cmdline.

What makes it VARIABLE is that it is defined as such.

from cmp-cmdline.

I goto line all the time with :150 as an example, which used to work fine, but now creates a very incorrect completion list like you can see above. Perhaps reverting isnt the right solution, but that commit did break something (as seen in the images above). Note the first image too, where it happens with non-number prefixes. I've pinned my plugin to the commit prior to this, but would prefer not to do that, if there is an appropriate fix.

from cmp-cmdline.

It is true that there are some commands out there that do not allow range, but it is correct in itself that the command is completed with :{number}. For example, :1w is a formal command.
And isn't this issue a report that the kind is variable? I explained in my earlier reply that that is the spec.

from cmp-cmdline.

Perhaps there is a separate underlying issue. I don't know the codebase, and i dont know what the right fix would be. All i know is that its basically unusable in its current form, and i had only found the commit where the issue started occurring.

from cmp-cmdline.

I have no idea what you think the problem is, or how reverting back to before that commit will fix it. I can't reply any further if you don't explain it to me in detail from scratch. You and I do not share the same premise.

from cmp-cmdline.

Here's how it worked before d8738f0:

typing just :150 shows no completions yet:

then when you type another character, it starts to complete:

but now typing just :150 shows a huge list:

while I understand that the large list in the second technically is correct in that its showing every possible completion, I would argue that the previous behavior was more useful. Similarly, if i just type : it doesn't show me everything i can complete with yet, it waits until i have one character to start completing. The way numbers complete now, feels equivalent to just showing me every possible command right off the bat. At least I think having the option to complete using the old behavior should be made available.

ah, i think my issue is different that the one from the original poster (when i originally thought it was the same). I can move it to its own issue, though i don't think i can move the discussion.

from cmp-cmdline.

I can no longer reproduce this and assume a recent update must be responsible for the fix.

from cmp-cmdline.

The original issue is back now that I've updated to commit 8ee981b

from cmp-cmdline.

Please create new issue.

The Variable type issue is not a valid issue.
