Show Vim command options

This was a feature I used to have when I was first learning vim, and sometime between me customizing my .vimrc file, I must have disabled it some how.

Lets say I have this command I can enter

:TmuxNavigate

Now this command could take Left, Right, Up, or Down as options. Early on in my learning of Vim, I had a small line above the command line that would show any available commands that start with :TmuxNavigate

I've tried enabling set showcmdor laststatus=2 but wasn't able to enable this feature.

Is this a feature I can enable or have I just completely lost my mind and imagined this? Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • Just add this line to your ~/.vimrc:

    set wildmenu

    Every command set up to complete arguments will do what you expect.

    See :help 'wildmenu' and :help 'wildmode'.
