Omni-completion (aka "Intelisense") in vim using tab-key
Posted on October 27, 2006 in Vim
Just add this fine piece of code to your ~/.vimrc:
function! CleverTab() if pumvisible() return "\" endif if strpart( getline('.'), 0, col('.')-1 ) =~ '^s*$' return "\" elseif exists('&omnifunc') && &omnifunc != '' return "\" else return "\" endif endfunction inoremap =CleverTab()
Edit: Found a site which describes quite well how to enable the built in omnicompletion using ^X^O here.
^X^F completes filenames and directories.
Some other completion methods:
Works for my but the arrow keys are not correctly mapped so use better
witch worked out of the box for me, just create ~/.vim/after/ftplugin, open the vimball, source it with :so and use it with your tab-key.
