Is it possible to put the cursor on the first item on auto-completion?

Question

I added and use deoplete to get a list of completion while typing. However, typing in a word shows the completion list with the cursor being nowhere on the list.

On some IDEs like Xcode, when you type in a word, the completion pops up with the cursor already on the first item. So it is possble to just push return to choose the completion, instead of pushing down and return.

This is more convenient yet all the GIFs on the deocomplete Github page don't put the cursor on the first item. Is it possible to archive this behavior?

Answer 1

If you use the noinsert flag in completeopt in combination with menu, the first item will be selected (but not inserted into the buffer).

 set completeopt=menu,noinsert
