Question

I just installed omnicomplete plugin, does it support header auto completion?

When I typed #include <, is it possible to provide a list of header files to complete?

Many thanks!

Answer 1

You can just use the vim autocomplete feature, which was introduced in vim7.

Just type in first few characters and press Ctrl->P(for backward search) or Ctrl->N(for forward search), vim lists down all options available or completes it.

And Yes it works even for header files.

To make this work you should install ctags
In usr/include add:

ctags -f ~/.vim/stdtags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q . 

Add this to your .vimrc

    set nocp
    filetype plugin on
    map <C-L> :!ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q .<CR><CR>

    set tags=~/.vim/stdtags,tags,.tags,../tags

    autocmd InsertLeave * if pumvisible() == 0|pclose|endif
