Remap tab when no completion is active

[jeremyong]

I'd like to perform a remapping of <tab> in insert mode when there isn't a completion context active (as opposed to currently what happens by default which is the insertion of a literal tab (or spaces depending on vim config).

How should I go about this? Thanks!

Currently your only option would be to modify supertab. Here is the line that returns a literal tab:

supertab/plugin/supertab.vim

Line 524 in 40fe711

return "\<tab>"

Ah thanks for the response. Any interested in a supertab fallback option of sorts?
