Hi, I really like the idea of this plugin, especially for easy comfort while working on remote servers (especially since I can just copy the code into a .vimrc and use it directly). However, while trying it out, I noticed quite a problematic bug that seems to only appear when using set hidden in my .vimrc. Basically, when I open a file and type things in insert mode, the plugin works as expected. Then, when I open another file with :e somefile.txt and type in that file, it still works. However, if I go back to the first file I was editing (usually with <C-^>), and then type a word that should trigger completion, no completion popup appears. I have to press the tab key to get the completion menu. This is unfortunate, because if I switch back to the second buffer open, the completion works as expected. It only seems to break when opening up a new buffer and going back to an older one, and needless to say, I only have the issue when hidden is set in my .vimrc.
Here is the minimum needed .vimrc file to reproduce this bug:
set hidden
let g:apc_enable_ft = {'*':1}
" don't select the first item.
set completeopt=menu,menuone,noselect
" suppress annoy messages.
set shortmess+=c
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'skywind3000/vim-auto-popmenu'
call plug#end()
I have this same problem on the normal macOS version of Vim 8.2 and on the huge version of Vim 8.1 on Debian 10. I tried both installing the plugin using vim-plug as in the example above and just copying the source code into my .vimrc, but no luck with either. I would love to see this fixed, as I would make great use of this plugin otherwise!
