Bug Description

Binary package hint: vim

It's odd that there is no bash completion for vim, here is one I wrote and been using with friends for few months, licensed under GPL v2 or later.

There is support for -T (terminals) and --remote --servername (remote servers). I will attach it in a comment.

Best Regards,
- Amr

Place in /etc/bash_completion.d/ then source /etc/bash_completion or start a new shell.

Confirming bash completion stopped working for vim in Natty.

It seems the /etc/bash_completion is identical to one from Debian, where it works. There is nothing under /etc/bash_completion.d/ which has "vim" in it.

Thanks for your script Amr, but I hope there is a fix for Natty itself soon.
