Somewhere in do_input(), after 'if (have_shortcut) {', do:

    if (s->scfunc != complete_a_word)
        new_completion = TRUE;

(Yes, rename auto_complete_void() to complete_a_word().)
So every ^] keystroke enters /and/ exits from this function

 

I am not completely clear about this part.

Please correct me if I am wrong about this:

1)When user hits "^]" every time complete_a_word() should be called.(instead of taking input in a loop as I have done in the previous patch)

2) I should be using 2 global variables(or something similar of that sort) 1. To store if user has hit consecutive "^]" (so it starts from the last position else start from fileage) 2. last position where the word is found.

Thanks & Regards,
