Patch 9.0.0883

[Bram Moolenaar]

Patch 9.0.0883
Problem: A silent mapping may cause dots on the command line.
Solution: Don't show dots for completion if they are not going to be removed
again. (closes #11501)
Files: runtime/doc/map.txt, src/cmdexpand.c

the executed command are still given though. To shut them up too, add a
":silent" in the executed command: >
:map <silent> ,h :exe ":silent normal /Header\r"<CR>
+ Note that the effect of a command might also be silenced, e.g., when the
+ mapping selects another entry for command line completion it won't be
+ displayed.
Prompts will still be given, e.g., for inputdialog().
Using "<silent>" for an abbreviation is possible, but will cause redrawing of
the command line to fail.
