Fine-tune SuperTab together with Latex-Box

Hello, I'm using SuperTab together with Latex-Box. The idea is to use <tab> to perform basically <c-p> autocompletations most of the time. However, if a path is detected, <c-x><c-f> should be applied. In other situations (specifically for LaTeX files), omnicompletation should be applied, which is carried out by Latex-Box.

After reading the help file (which I admit I don't fully understand), I came out with these lines in my .vimrc:

let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = "context"
let g:SuperTabContextDefaultCompletionType = "<c-p>"
let g:SuperTabCompletionContexts = ['s:ContextText', 's:ContextDiscover']
let g:SuperTabContextDiscoverDiscovery = ["&omnifunc:<c-x><c-o>"]

This does work pretty well for LaTeX and file autocompletations, but does not work when I expect SuperTab to perform plain <c-p> autocompletations.

For example, if I write \be<tab> it autocompletes to \begin and a popup menu appears to let me select the LaTeX environment. It also works well for file completation if I write something like /hom<tab>.

However, if I write "averylongword averylo<tab>" it does not perform the expected <c-p> completation. Instead, it says " -- Omni completion (^O^N^P) Pattern not found" and does nothing.

In theory, when omnicompletation does not produce anything, the default completation should come to the rescue, which I set to <c-p> in the second option. 

So why do you think this is not working as expected?

Thank you very much!
