<esc> is not exiting insert mode when neocomplete dropdown is open

[MuschPusch]

See this thread in neocomplcache: https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache.vim/issues/350#issuecomment-12708564

Even though it's neocomplcache the issue is the same and removing this line would fix it:

I don't know if the problem is related, but the same thing happens with YouCompleteMe. I have to double escape when the completion is showing in order to be able to leave insert mode. Removing the new plugin auto-pairs and switching again to vim-autoclose solved the problem if someone is in the same situation.

[MuschPusch]

Removing auto-pairs didn't worked for me but i didn't switched to vim-autoclose

[JoveYu]

same error here, back to autoclose work well https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/issues/769

[gravis]

+1, this is very annoying :( Removing the line solved the issue for me. thanks

[gravis]

auto-pairs will also make go editing a real pain

return SomeStruct{|
}

if the cursor is | and I type }, the cursor will just go to the closing } on the line bellow...

+1, this is really annoying

[DevManChris]

+1 Very annoying

[rafaponieman]

+1 @MuschPusch 's fix (at least temporarily fixed it), but this is a very annoying usability problem

[gravis]

Any news on this?

[rafaponieman]

I correct myself in the previous message, this @MuschPusch's fix is not working for me.

What happens is: When inserting, if Neocomplete hasn't been triggered (inserting at the end of any line, for example), esc key instantly quits exit mode, that works fine. However, when Neocomplete is triggered, and esc is pressed, there's a 1 second delay, then autocomplete closes, but instantly it goes back into insert mode and autocomplete opens again. The only way to avoid this is to press many times the esc key until neocomplete doesn't show up anymore, which is a really big problem for us programmers.

[rafaponieman]

Well, this is weird... correcting myself, again. But this time I solved it, and I got my vim to run really well. What I did was implement @MuschPusch's fix, which does work for me, and also added this, which removed that 1 second lag I was experiencing:

set timeoutlen=10 ttimeoutlen=0

[gravis]

Doesn't work for me :(

[wsdjeg]

i just use this to select my choice

inoremap <cr> <esc>a 

[gravis]

@rafadev does NERDCommenter still works for you? With set timeoutlen=10 ttimeoutlen=0 it doesn't here :(

[wsdjeg]

hi @gravis i do not use any plugin but just add some func: here is my config for ( ,[ ,{ ,},],)

inoremap ( ()<Esc>i
inoremap [ []<Esc>i
inoremap { {}<Esc>i
autocmd Syntax java inoremap { {<CR>}<Esc>O
autocmd Syntax html,vim inoremap < <lt>><Esc>i| inoremap > <c-r>=ClosePair('>')<CR> |inoremap " "
inoremap ) <c-r>=ClosePair(')')<CR>
inoremap ] <c-r>=ClosePair(']')<CR>
inoremap } <c-r>=ClosePair('}')<CR>
autocmd Syntax java inoremap } <c-r>=CloseBracket()<CR>
inoremap " <c-r>=QuoteDelim('"')<CR>
inoremap ' <c-r>=QuoteDelim("'")<CR>
function ClosePair(char)
    if getline('.')[col('.') - 1] == a:char
        return "\<Right>"
    else
        return a:char
    endif
endf

function CloseBracket()
    if match(getline(line('.') + 1), '\s*}') < 0
        return "\<CR>}"
    else
        return "\<Esc>j0f}a"
    endif
endf

function QuoteDelim(char)
    let line = getline('.')
    let col = col('.')
    if line[col - 2] == "\\"
        "Inserting a quoted quotation mark into the string
        return a:char
    elseif line[col - 1] == a:char
        "Escaping out of the string
        return "\<Right>"
    else
        "Starting a string
        return a:char.a:char."\<Esc>i"
    endif
endf
au filetype java inoremap <silent> <buffer> } <C-r>=JavaCloseBracket()<cr>
function JavaCloseBracket()
    let line = getline('.')
    let col = col('.')
    if line[col - 2] == "\\"
        "Inserting a quoted quotation mark into the string
        return "}"
    elseif line[col - 1] == "}"
        "Escaping out of the string
        return "\<Right>"
    elseif match(getline(line('.') + 1), '\s*}') < 0
        return "\<CR>}"
    else
        return "\<Esc>j0f}a"
    endif
endf

@gravis Hey! Sorry for the delay... No, it doesn't work any more, I didn't notice cause I wasn't using it... I think my setting just kills the timeout after pressing leader... any clues?

[gravis]

nope, I'm stil fighting with this, it's very annoying. I ended up with hitting esc 3-4 times, but it's a waste of time.

[wsdjeg]

hi @gravis what func do you want ,i think i can help you

[rbgarga]

I gave up spf13, moved to a simple installation with a few bundles, including YouCompleteMe, everything back to work now...

[gravis]

I think I'll do the same this week-end :(

[gravis]

9af9ba73cfca2d586ae6436208581379bffc22de seems to fix this!
