I often "unignore" files in .gitignore, like this:
*
!.gitignore
!file.txt
!dir
!dir/*
Can I modify the pattern for which insert mode file name completion would work? In this case, instead of ./ I'd like the exclamation mark to suffice. I know this qustion on stackoverflow sort of deals with the problem, but I'd like to know if there's a way without omnifunc.

how do you trigger file-name completion.
completing with ^X^F should do it if '!' does not show up in set isfname?
let g:mucomplete#chains.gitignore = ['file'] and would have expected the completion to work just like ^X^F (where gitignore is a filetype). In my list of todo's I wrongly noted that the manual file completion did not work in this context. I could've just remapped tab locally to ^X^F. But I like mucomplete's custom path completion which I'd like to use, but I can't get it to work without a ./ prefix.
isfname tip, but it wasn't the issue. I got it to work with mucomplete which required adding ! to iskeyword and a can_complete variable (see this issue github.com/lifepillar/vim-mucomplete/issues/127)
