Hi Vim fanatics,
For the last year I've taken to vim more and more, and made it my main working environment for programming. Although I consider myself still a vim novice, there is a very big improvement with my work efficiency.
One of the basic principles that I try to maintain is that my fingers need to stay on keyboard all the time, and stretching my pinkies too much means I am doing something wrong as everything that is needed should be available within easy reach (e.g. use hjkl instead of arrow keys).
Now, I face this issue with vim command line mode when I want to auto-complete. In this mode, completion works great with the up down keys. However, those are very far for my fingers... I tried to find some shortcuts and saw ctrl-p, ctrl-n. But they are not good enough as they simply browse the history. I saw ctrl-a, but it shows all the matches while I want only the next one. I am sure there is a way to configure it, but I just cannot find it.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Eran.
