I set completeopt=menu,menuone Intereestingly t_Co? gives an empty value, although my samsung monitor has plenty of colors. Something I omitted: Vim runs the menus fine on my local computer. I was asking about vim that resides on a university computer running redhat linux, that I secure telnet into. There - no menu. However, the spell check when I :set spell does give a numbered menu, which appears to happen by vim cleaing the current screen and replacing it with the menu of spelling suggestions. The telnet session tells redhat to use vt100 emulation. I had trouble with vim's screen behaviour under emulations like vt102 vt360, ansi, linux etc. Perhaps it is hard to send popup screen info. to a remote computer over the internet? Or, the standard vt100 terminfo entries probably do not include colors. Why I wonder are colors needed to display a menu? It is always hard for me to pick an emulation that vim likes for most functions. Any suggestions? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
