I use dbext.vim for any database related work so I have several connections configured on my _vimrc and when I need to switch between them I use the DBPromptForBufferParameters that this plugin provides.

As I'm using gVim this shows an popup window because it uses the inputdialog() function, however I want to this function behave like the input() function that does not show a popup.

There is some way to do this or I would have to change the plugin source ? I have looked at the documentation and source of the plugin and there isn`t any option to configure this.

    Check the :h guioptions setting, adding c may do what you want (set guioptions+=c). If it works, Enter accepts, Esc cancels, Backspace deletes (if you have a default value and want to change it).

    @VanLaser thanks, it is exactly what I want. I completely forgot to look at guioptions. Care to add as an answer ?

Adding c to the guioptions setting will replace simple GUI input popups with their console equivalents:

set guioptions+=c

If inputdialog() is called with a default value, Backspace first if you want to replace it.
