# VimCompletesMe

A super simple, super minimal, super light-weight tab-completion plugin for Vim.

Without any configuration, the Tab key will, depending on the context, offer:

* Vim's local keyword completion
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-N](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-N))
* File path completion when typing a path
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-F](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F))
* Omni-completion after typing a period.
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-O](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O))

With a `b:vcm_tab_complete` variable, you can set the Tab key to use the
following type of completions:

* Dictionary words
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-K](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K))
* User-defined completion
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-U](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U))
* Tags
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-\]](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]))
* Vim command line
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-V](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-V))
* Omni completion
  ([Ctrl-X_Ctrl-O](http://vimhelp.appspot.com/insert.txt.html#i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O))

If any of above types of completions fails to return any results, hitting Tab
again will switch back to Vim's local keyword completion. VimCompletesMe will go
back to trying the special completion for the next tab completion.

You can set the `b:vcm_tab_complete` variable interactively, or in an
autocommand:

    autocmd FileType text,markdown let b:vcm_tab_complete = 'dict'

Striving for minimalism, this plugin weighs under 80 lines of code.

## Installation
If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing
[pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and then simply copy and
paste:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone git://github.com/ajh17/VimCompletesMe.git

Once the helptags have been generated, see `:h VimCompletesMe` for usage.
