I think the parent is meaning something like the git-status integration of e.g. oh-my-zsh [0], or something like the 'official' git-status integration script for bash [1]

(I've used the former, but not the latter.)

Author/thread starter here: Really didn't think this post would have generated as much interest as it did when I created it... :D

It's a fairly enlightening thread though. Mad props to Martin for a fantastically thoughtful reply!

I'm fairly certain this could be defeated with a little differential cryptanalysis. Similar approaches to defeating side-channel attacks on smart card power usage have been tried and defeated :/

Also, SuperTab is all of the win: https://github.com/ervandew/supertab/

It'll let you use <Tab> for all the completion types, and you can tell it the fallback order for various thing (i.e. try omni, then <C-N>, etc.). It's even slightly context aware, so it can guess a good first completion method for you.

All with <Tab> :)
