prevent vim preview window from closing

Question

I have the following in my .vimrc alongside of neocomplete

set completeopt+=preview,longest,menuone

The preview window opens automatically for me as expected, however when I hit enter on a line of neocomplete or I start a parenthesis of a command (eg "foo.Bar(") the preview window closes and I have to remember all of the arguments that went with it.

I would like the preview window to stay open permanently or until I close foo.Bar()

What you want is the default behavior: the preview window is only closed explicitly with :pclose or <C-w>z. You will have to read neocomplete's doc again or ask on their issue tracker. — romainl

The default behaviour of neocomplete is to auto-close the preview window but it is configurable. Add this to your .vimrc:

let g:neocomplete#enable_auto_close_preview = 0

You will need to manually close the preview window with :pclose or <C-w>z

See :h neocomplete.txt
