In Vim 7, Ctrl-X Ctrl-O shows a list of possible values but I find this sequence of keys to be too long when I frequently use the autocomplete feature. For instance, in an HTML file, I’d like to see the list automatically popup after I type a < followed by one or two letters. In a CSS file, I’d like to see the list after I hit the “:” key. Is there a way to set this up?
To activate the omnicompletion on typing a “:” you can use
the following mapping.
The disadvantage is that each time you press “:” omnicompletion will
be activated, even when typing “:” in comments or in any other context
in which you do not want omnicompletion.
I have mapped ctrl-space to active omnicompletion:
This gives me the choice to activate omni whenever I need it.
