How may I trigger completion in command mode?

[jrhorn424]

Let's say I'm in normal mode, and open the command line (is that what it's called?) with :. I have NERDTree, so I want to see what actions are available. Typically, I'd use <tab> in nocompatible vim to trigger a wildmenu. However, in IdeaVim this jumps the cursor back to the open buffer. I've also tried <C-e> as I've read that's the old vi completion key.

Is there a way to accomplish something similar in IdeaVim?

Hi, I don't think that is supported at the moment. There is this issue but it is quite old now - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-258
