One thing that really bothers me in vim (probably the only thing), is the wildmenu.
In neovim, the wildmenu is vertical and looks as following:
However, in vim, it is horizontal and looks like this:
Is it possible to get the vertical wildmenu in vim?
If possible, without a plugin, but if there is no other way then I don't mind.
It's not available in Vim. However, there is a fork called Vim-CLPUM. You need its clpum branch, which is 2 years behind Vim's master at the moment. If you really like this feature, maybe you could help h-east with testing it or in some other way.
:tagand you press Ctrl-D but only if you've done:set wop=tagfile. Yeah, extremely limited.set wildoptions="pum,tagfile"enabled, but i still get the horizontal menuset wildoptions="pum"this is a neovim only addition. I don't think vim currently allows to use a vertical popup menu for the wildmenu.:setthat you ran should emit an error message because it is rejecting the value...:set wop?shows no right-hand-side value. Now try it without the double quotes,:set wop=pum,tagfileand you'll get an error. But anyways...if you want to see the completion format I mentioned in my first comment you'll have to type it just like I show.
