Completion source on popup #91

Closed bbtdev closed 6 years ago

bbtdev commented 6 years ago

Hello, Just wanted to stay that I tested every possible plugin and mu just ticks all the boxes for me. Nice work!

Now, is it possible to have the source of the word in the pop up, like in other plugins?

What do you mean by “source of the word”? The file where the word has been found?

if it's a tag "t" for example

This can be done only for user-defined functions. The pop-up menu for built-in completion methods (i.e., everything listed in :help mucomplete-methods except for 'omni', 'user', 'path', and 'uspl') cannot be modified. If you remove c from 'shortmess', you get some information about the current completion under the status line (e.g., for tags a “Scanning tags” message would appear). I find that more annoying than useful, though.

Where adding information to the pop-up menu is possible, µcomplete already does it. For example, for the 'path' method (which is implemented by µcomplete), µcomplete shows whether each item is a file or a directory.
