Vim code completion


Is it possible to make Vim complete the code for you, like in any other IDE (not just word searching, but members of classes, methods etc.)?

What are the best options / plugins available?


Solution

  • It's possible, but most people don't.

    vim is a fairly generic editor, that said, it does contain some "code completion" features such as word completion, etcetera, but nothing like the likes of, say, Delphi's IDE.

    Such a system could be added by scripting vim - vim can directly run several scripting languages that make this easy, or you could send the file through an external script.
