[Vimperator] Avoiding arrows for completing in insert mode

Hello guys,

I have seen calls to "inoremap <c-p> <up>" and "inoremap <c-n> <down>"
in anekos and voidy's vimperatorrcs.

Do these statements mean shortcuts to use <c-p> and <c-n> for choosing
between completion suggestions in edit boxes and such?

Although that would be awesome, I couldn't manage them to work. In
addiction, such feature does not seem to be possible according to these
links:

Can someone please clear this up to me?

No, these commands just mean, that in a multiline edit box (like the one I
am just typing into (gmail)),
you can use ctrl-p/n to move the cursor up/down. That's an behavior many
know from emacs and
other UNIX like programs.

It is currently impossible to map keys to select things in completion boxes
(and many sites override
the completions anyway so it would be just partly useful anyway).

Of course, can't believe I had not tried that before :/

I'm happy to at least know that this is currently impossible, though I
think that would be very useful, and at the moment i can't think of sites
(at least the major) that override that as you said.

Thanks again.
