Are there any autocompletion plugins for vim?

Question

Is there an autocompletion plugin for vim? What are my options here?

At the moment I'm using AutoComplPop, but it has bad integration with snipMate that I use and dead slow on Ruby files (even < 100 lines).

I've seen a couple of other plugins, but they are dead since at least more than a year. So, any ideas?

Answer 1

I use neocomplcache with the snipmate + snipmate snippets

let g:neocomplcache_snippets_dir='~/.vim/bundle/snipmate-snippets/snippets'

you can see my vimrc

Answer 2

I am trying out necomplecache with neosnippet I am guessing it will have better integration as both are authored by the same person

Answer 3

I believe vim has one built-in called OmniComplete. In insert mode use ctrl+x,ctrl+o.

Otherwise you can do keyword completion from insert mode with ctrl+n. When you invoke it it will give you a dropdown displaying possible matches of words found in the file you're editing, as well as found from other files you have open. Keep hitting ctrl+n to cycle through the options. When you come to the word you want, just continue typing like normal.

If you can't find the word you want, ctrl+n will eventually cycle off the list and you can keep typing, or you can hit ESC and then bcw to go back to the start of the offending word and change the word to the one you wanted.

Here's a nice one: YouCompleteMe

YouCompleteMe that makes the dropdown menu appear automatically as you type, and it supports fuzzy selection, so if you have an identifier called partition_finder and you type something like ptf while editing a C++ file, the dropdown suggestion list will include both printf and partition_finder because they contain the same letters in the same order. If you have a variable called myBrain, you can type brn and it will suggest that. YouCompleteMe also prioritizes the suggestions based on previous usage frequency.
