I have just started using vim and am using an existing .vimrc and .gvimrc. It works great, except the Tab key doesn’t tab…it brings up a code completion plug-in. I don’t know where to start as I am brand new to vim. How can I make the Tab key generate a tab???

    First, find out which script or plugin changed the meaning of your key:

    :verbose imap <Tab>
    

    Then disable the offending plugin by removing it from your ~/.vim/plugins.
