Bram,
here is a patch, that enables redirecting when using <ctrl-d> for
commandline completion:

diff --git a/src/ex_getln.c b/src/ex_getln.c
--- a/src/ex_getln.c
+++ b/src/ex_getln.c
@@ -1189,10 +1189,15 @@
goto cmdline_changed;

case Ctrl_D:
+ redir_off = FALSE;
if (showmatches(&xpc, FALSE) == EXPAND_NOTHING)
+ {
+ redir_off = TRUE;
break; /* Use ^D as normal char instead */
+ }

redrawcmd();
+ redir_off = TRUE;
continue; /* don't do incremental search now */

case K_RIGHT:



regards,
Christian
