Command line completion is probably another lesser known one. The command line window is minimized, but typing q: (commands) and q/ or q? (search forward/backward) opens it up completely. Wild mode configures its behaviour.

Abbreviations are another completion primitive in Vim. Since it’s full auto, it wants to be magical. <Key> presses and scripts can be replayed. Paired with custom completions and output from external tools, it transforms into advanced witchcraft and/or cursed sorcery. In my case, it just expands acronyms.

Here’s Vim editor thesaurus completion. This kind of completion has its various limitations that I might detail later. I mentioned thesauri in passing but my Internet connection is pitiful and writing about editor meta feels a bit bizarre.

More Vim editor meta? Since posting a video of my LaTeX/Vim shenanigans, queries for tips arrive occasionally. Completion and whole line completion are boilerplate hammers. The more buffers and windows loaded, the more “robust”.
