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

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

• Vim's local keyword completion (Ctrl-X_Ctrl-N)
• File path completion when typing a path (Ctrl-X_Ctrl-F)
• Omni-completion after typing a period. (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)
• User-defined completion (Ctrl-X_Ctrl-U)
• Tags (Ctrl-X_Ctrl-])
• Vim command line (Ctrl-X_Ctrl-V)
• Omni completion (Ctrl-X_Ctrl-O)

VimCompletesMe will even switch to keyword completion if none of the above completions has any results. Simply hitting Tab again will switch the context to keyword 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 70 lines of code.

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, 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.
