Example:
In a file in another directory I have a function defined by the following:
def _generator_function_1(self):
passs
In the file of my current directory, I have typed the following:
def test_generI
where I
denotes my cursor position.
I would like to use vim's autocompletion functionality (i.e. via ^n
or ^p
) to autocomplete the function definition to test_generator_function_1
. Is there a way of configuring vim autocompletion to match not based off full-prefixes? Or, is there a way in ctags to generate tags based off keywords instead of full function definitions?
EDIT:
To clarify, I am specifically wondering if keyword-based autocompletion exists. I have autocompletion by tags setting up, so if I typed "_gen"
, then ^n
would complete to give me "_generator_function_1"
. In my example, however, it is because the string is prefixed by "test"
that "test_gener"
as the starting typed word does not lead to any autocomplete suggestions. So I am wondering if this can somehow be made possible.
