Remapping <Tab> in Slimv about slimv HOT 2 CLOSED

You can define g:slimv_unmap_tab in your .vimrc to a nonzero value, this prevents slimv from mapping <Tab>.

You cannot however simply remap SlimvHandleTab() on another key, because this function returns "\<Tab>" when there's nothing to complete. But maybe you can create your own copy of function SlimvHandleTab() by replacing "<Tab>" with "" in the last line, and create your own mapping similar to this one below:

inoremap <your-own-key> <C-R>=YourCopyOfSlimvHandleTab()<CR>

Or you can just create a function which calls SlimvHandleTab() and if the return value is "\<Tab>" then it returns "", otherwise it just does not change the return value.

If all you want is just the omnicompletion, then you don't need the above fancy mapping, you can just use <C-X><C-O>.

Please let me know if something above is not clear, then I'll try to explain the idea more thoroughly.

Thank you for quick reply!

I followed your advice and added the following to my .vimrc:

let slimv_unmap_tab=1

function CustomSlimvHandleTab()
  let result = SlimvHandleTab()
  if result == "\<Tab>"
    return ""
  else
    return result
  endif
endfunction

autocmd FileType lisp inoremap <Leader><Tab> <C-R>=CustomSlimvHandleTab()<CR>

Now the autocomplete works for leader followed by Tab (in my case ,<Tab>).

Thanks again,
Vitaliy.
