Bug#497663: Tab completion for vim is broken
Arto Jantunen
Version: 4.3.6-7
Severity: normal
Typing vim and pressing tab produces the following output:
_vim:31: unmatched '
Commenting out lines 31-40 in
/usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix/_vim fixes the problem. Should
be trivial to fix properly for someone who understands zsh's compeltion
syntax (I don't).

I can't reproduce this and I don't see what the problem might be.
Is this consistent for you?

Hmm. Apparently it depends on "emulate csh" being used. I can't
reproduce with a .zshrc of only
autoload -U compinit
compinit
But can after adding emulate csh above those lines.

Anyone know which option might be the culprit here?

Yes, 'csh_junkie_quotes'.
The problem will vanish, if you unset that option after your 'emulate
csh' call.
However, I thought 'setopt no_csh_junkie_quotes' or 'emulate -L' at
the start of the file would be enough. But apparently it isn't...

Line 31 of _vim is a single-quoted string that spans multiple lines.
So CSH_JUNKIE_QUOTES is almost certainly at fault.

For the record, the upstream fix to compinit will be applied
if the next upload occurs before a new upstream version.
I don't intend to do this prior to the lenny release unless there are
other issues, however.
