Hi, Is there a way to set autocomplete in the VI environment? I'd like to create a tcsh style word completion in such a way that while typing in Vi, I'd be able to use it. Thanks.

when you start typing a word, you can press Ctrn+n to search through all words in the current document that begin with the characters you've begun typing.  this only searches the current file thought
