Note: The development of this plugin is finished. Accepts minor patches and
issues but no new features.
ddc.vim is the next generation auto
completion plugin. Consider migrating to it.
neocomplete is the abbreviation of "neo-completion with cache". It provides
keyword completion system by maintaining a cache of keywords in the current
buffer. neocomplete can be customized easily and has many more features than
Vim's built-in completion.
Note: If you use neovim or Vim8+, you should use deoplete instead.

Installation
Note: neocomplete requires Vim 7.3.885+ with Lua enabled.
See requirements if you aren't sure whether you have this.
Extract the files and put them in your Vim directory
(usually ~/.vim/ or Program Files/Vim/vimfiles on Windows).
Execute the :NeoCompleteEnable command or set let g:neocomplete#enable_at_startup = 1 in your .vimrc (not in .gvimrc
or _gvimrc!)
Requirements
neocomplete requires Vim 7.3.885+ compiled with
if_lua. If :echo has("lua") returns 1, then you're done; otherwise, see below.
Vim builds for Windows
github release
Vim 32bit
Vim 64bit
Vim 32bit alternative
Another alternative
Note: the Vim build may not include the Lua DLL. In that case,
download Lua and put the lua52.dll
file in the same directory as gvim.exe.
Vim for Mac OS X:
MacVim with if\_lua
Or, you can install MacVim with homebrew: (Make sure you have Xcode fully
installed)
brew cask install macvim --with-cscope --with-lua
To install Vim (as opposed to MacVim) with homebrew:
brew install vim --with-luajit
Vim for Linux:
Debian (or Ubuntu)
Make sure you have any of these packages:
vim-nox
vim-gtk3
Which package depends on your graphical environment (except vim-nox which is
for vim with no GUI).
Fedora
The latest version of vim includes lua.
As of 2014-04-16 you need to download the
rpm.
Misc
Be aware, your distribution's package manager may have a fairly outdated
Vim build (for example, Ubuntu 12.04 ships Vim 7.3.429).
However, building Vim on Linux is not
difficult. Remember to specify --with-lua (or --with-features=huge).
Vim for Cygwin:
In a cygwin environment, the Lua interface is supported by default.
If you want to make manually, you also need gcc and make.
When everything is prepared, execute these commands.
cd /usr/src
tar jxf vim-7.4.tar.bz2
tar xvfz lua-5.1.5.tar.gz
cd vim74/
./configure --enable-luainterp --enable-gui=no \
--without-x --enable-multibyte --prefix=/usr
make && make install
To check if everything was successfull enter the following vim --version. You
should see +lua in the list of features.
Snippets
The Snippets feature of neocomplete was split into a
separate plugin.
