description

Overview Supertab allows you to use <Tab> for all your insert completion needs (:help ins-completion). Features - Configurable to suit you needs:   - Default completion type to use.   - Prevent <Tab> from completing after/before defined patterns.   - Close vim's completion preview window when code completion is finished.   - When using other completion types, you can configure how long to 'remember'     the current completion type before returning to the default.   - Don't like using <Tab>? You can also configure a different pair of keys to     scroll forwards and backwards through completion results. - Optional improved 'longest' completion support (after typing some characters,   hitting <Tab> will highlight the next longest match). - Built in 'context' completion option which chooses the appropriate completion   type based on the text preceding the cursor.   - You can also plug in your own functions to determine which completion type     to use. - Support for simple completion chaining (falling back to a different   completion type, keyword completion for example, if omni or user completion   returns no results). You can also find supertab on github repository: http://github.com/ervandew/supertab
