when using vimerl compared to the erlang syntax highlighter that comes with vim edoc strings like @doc are no longer highlighted

:: makes vim believe that it's a module followed by a function...

When attempting to auto-complete something like global:register_name from global:register_, the omni completion finishes with _name, but in the popup displays the following:

zsh:1: no matches found: /usr/lib/erlang/man/man?/global.? f
zsh:1: no matches found: /usr/lib/erlang/man/man?/global.? f
zsh:1: no matches found: /usr/lib/erlang/man/man?/global.? f
zsh:1: no matches found: /usr/lib/erlang/man/man?/global.? f

I get this when I open an erlang file. Afterwards, it works ok, but I've never even tried to compile an .erl file from Vim, so I wouldn't know if this is a big problem.

Something about the code to split function heads does not work correctly. I haven't been able to trace the problem myself. but it is definitely in those if blocks because it works fine when you don't set the variable.

In the kTT branch, a commit was cherry-picked to avoid compiling the file every time the buffer is entered since this is slow. However, this causes the script to fail, since some buffer variables aren't always initialized...

I've temporary solved this by wrapping the body of show_msg in if exists('b:error_list') but I don't feel this is the right approach...

I believe a new line after a comma should not be indented if the comma separates statements:

io:format("Next line is not flushed~n"),
    io:format("But it is~n"); % <-- wrong

Hej,

I can't see where erlangFun for syntax highlighting is used. In fact, all my fun declarations are as normal text. Is this intended?

When using pathogen, it's recommended to clone the submodule into /.vim/bundle/project. The autocompletion has set the default path for completion as "/.vim/autoload/erlang_completion.vim", which doesn't exist when cloned as submodule into bundle/.

If you can get the current script path from vimL, you could use the relative path from the script.

" Pseudo
dirname($script)/erlang_completion.erl

This is because atom, that are obvious module or function names shouldn't be highlighted. This has been implemented by adding a %(\s*[(:])@! after the atom... however, this also catches "::"...

Didn't come up with a quick solution so I'll post this here instead.

In README, I see this:

Set the location of the Wrangler tool: (default: "/usr/share/wrangler/")
g:erlangWranglerPath

Do you mean i add a line like this to ~/.vimrc.

g:erlangWranglerPath = path/to/wrangler.
