#Vim supertab context omni upgrade

That plugin uses the default omnicompletion which Vim 7 supports out of the box. I installed this plugin with nicer php omni-completion I found some helpful general info about Omni completion I decided to stick with other options which were a little bit more specific.

I failed to get this installed, since my version of CMake was too old, and I am not currently in the position to upgrade it (using a shared host).

vimrc, and then you can add vim plugins at will in your ~/.vim/bundle directoryĪ number of places recommended YouCompleteMe, which has completion for all sorts of different languages. To make installing vim plugins easy, I used pathogen, which was itself easy to install, and seems fairly lightweight. I didn’t use all of the suggestions, but a number of them. Here are some pages on the web I found useful. After about 2 hours or so of searching, installing plugins and such, I think I have something for PHP and JS now which should help improve my productivity. Someone else at the meetup mentioned something about autocompletion in vim, so I decided to investigate a bit today. I frequently forget the exact syntax of a lot of languages, which slows me down. Currently, I am doing a lot of PHP and javascript, but from 2010-2015, I was mostly doing python, Java, and perl. I program in a lot of different languages. This got me thinking the last couple days, as I found myself programming in PHP, and frequently looking up documentation on the net. I was at a meetup last week with colleagues, and my boss kept inquiring about how I can program efficiently without an IDE.

Over the years, I have occasionally tried out some different plugins, but usually abandoned them, because they were buggy, or slowed things down, or used too much memory. I frequently find myself accidentally typing hjkl in non-vim editors. I wrote my dissertation completely in vim. Then in 2004 my roommate at the time convinced me to give it another try, and I quickly got hooked. I think I tried it for the first time in about 2003, and quickly gave up. I have been using Vim for most editing for about 12 years now.
