Yes, I know about that. 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?
