+ *youcompleteme-intro*
+Intro ~
+
+YouCompleteMe is a fast, as-you-type, fuzzy-search code completion engine for
+Vim. It has several completion engines:
+
+- an identifier-based engine that works with every programming language,
+
+- a Clang [5]-based engine that provides native semantic code completion for
+ C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++ (from now on referred to as "the C-family
+ languages"),
+
+- a Jedi [6]-based completion engine for Python 2 and 3 (using the JediHTTP
+ [7] wrapper),
+
+- an OmniSharp [8]-based completion engine for C#,
+
+- a combination of Gocode [9] and Godef [10] semantic engines for Go,
+
+- a TSServer [11]-based completion engine for TypeScript,
+
+- a Tern [12]-based completion engine for JavaScript,
+
+- a racer [13]-based completion engine for Rust,
+
+- and an omnifunc-based completer that uses data from Vim's omnicomplete
+ system to provide semantic completions for many other languages (Ruby, PHP
+ etc.).
+
+ Image: YouCompleteMe GIF demo (see reference [14])
+
+Here's an explanation of what happens in the short GIF demo above.
+
+First, realize that **no keyboard shortcuts had to be pressed** to get the list
+of completion candidates at any point in the demo. The user just types and the
+suggestions pop up by themselves. If the user doesn't find the completion
+suggestions relevant and/or just wants to type, they can do so; the completion
+engine will not interfere.
+
+When the user sees a useful completion string being offered, they press the TAB
+key to accept it. This inserts the completion string. Repeated presses of the
+TAB key cycle through the offered completions.
+
+If the offered completions are not relevant enough, the user can continue
+typing to further filter out unwanted completions.
+
+A critical thing to notice is that the completion **filtering is NOT based on
+the input being a string prefix of the completion** (but that works too). The
+input needs to be a _subsequence [15] match_ of a completion. This is a fancy
+way of saying that any input characters need to be present in a completion
+string in the order in which they appear in the input. So 'abc' is a
+subsequence of 'xaybgc', but not of 'xbyxaxxc'. After the filter, a complicated
+sorting system ranks the completion strings so that the most relevant ones rise
+to the top of the menu (so you usually need to press TAB just once).
+
+**All of the above works with any programming language** because of the
+identifier-based completion engine. It collects all of the identifiers in the
+current file and other files you visit (and your tags files) and searches them
+when you type (identifiers are put into per-filetype groups).
+
+The demo also shows the semantic engine in use. When the user presses '.', '->'
+or '::' while typing in insert mode (for C++; different triggers are used for
+other languages), the semantic engine is triggered (it can also be triggered
+with a keyboard shortcut; see the rest of the docs).
+
+The last thing that you can see in the demo is YCM's diagnostic display
+features (the little red X that shows up in the left gutter; inspired by
+Syntastic [16]) if you are editing a C-family file. As Clang compiles your file
+and detects warnings or errors, they will be presented in various ways. You
+don't need to save your file or press any keyboard shortcut to trigger this, it
+"just happens" in the background.
+
+In essence, YCM obsoletes the following Vim plugins because it has all of their
+features plus extra:
+
+- clang_complete
+- AutoComplPop
+- Supertab
+- neocomplcache
+
+**And that's not all...**
+
+YCM also provides semantic IDE-like features in a number of languages,
+including:
+
+- finding declarations, definitions, usages, etc. of identifiers,
+- displaying type information for classes, variables, functions etc.,
+- displaying documentation for methods, members, etc. in the preview window,
+- fixing common coding errors, like missing semi-colons, typos, etc.,
+- semantic renaming of variables across files (JavaScript only).
+
+Features vary by file type, so make sure to check out the file type feature
+summary and the full list of completer subcommands to find out what's available
+for your favourite languages.
+
+You'll also find that YCM has filepath completers (try typing './' in a file)
+and a completer that integrates with UltiSnips [17].

+ *youcompleteme-installation*
+Installation ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-mac-os-x*
+Mac OS X ~
+
+Please refer to the full Installation Guide below; the following commands are
+provided on a best-effort basis and may not work for you.
+
+Install the latest version of MacVim [18]. Yes, MacVim. And yes, the _latest_.
+
+If you don't use the MacVim GUI, it is recommended to use the Vim binary that
+is inside the MacVim.app package ('MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim'). To ensure
+it works correctly copy the 'mvim' script from the MacVim [18] download to your
+local binary folder (for example '/usr/local/bin/mvim') and then symlink it:
+>
+ ln -s /usr/local/bin/mvim vim
+<
+Install YouCompleteMe with Vundle [19].
+
+**Remember:** YCM is a plugin with a compiled component. If you **update** YCM
+using Vundle and the ycm_core library APIs have changed (happens rarely), YCM
+will notify you to recompile it. You should then rerun the install process.
+
+**NOTE:** If you want C-family completion, you MUST have the latest Xcode
+installed along with the latest Command Line Tools (they are installed
+automatically when you run 'clang' for the first time, or manually by running
+'xcode-select --install')
+
+Install CMake. Preferably with Homebrew [20], but here's the stand-alone CMake
+installer [21].
+
+_If_ you have installed a Homebrew Python and/or Homebrew MacVim, see the _FAQ_
+for details.
+
+Compiling YCM **with** semantic support for C-family languages:
+>
+ cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
+ ./install.py --clang-completer
+<
+Compiling YCM **without** semantic support for C-family languages:
+>
+ cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
+ ./install.py
+<
+The following additional language support options are available:
+
+- C# support: install Mono with Homebrew [20] or by downloading the Mono Mac
+ package [22] and add '--omnisharp-completer' when calling './install.py'.
+
+- Go support: install Go [23] and add '--gocode-completer' when calling
+ './install.py'.
+
+- TypeScript support: install Node.js and npm [24] then install the
+ TypeScript SDK with 'npm install -g typescript'.
+
+- JavaScript support: install Node.js and npm [24] and add '--tern-completer'
+ when calling './install.py'.
+
+- Rust support: install Rust [25] and add '--racer-completer' when calling
+ './install.py'.
+
+To simply compile with everything enabled, there's a '--all' flag. So, to
+install with all language features, ensure 'xbuild', 'go', 'tsserver', 'node',
+'npm', 'rustc', and 'cargo' tools are installed and in your 'PATH', then simply
+run:
+>
+ cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
+ ./install.py --all
+<
+That's it. You're done. Refer to the _User Guide_ section on how to use YCM.
+Don't forget that if you want the C-family semantic completion engine to work,
+you will need to provide the compilation flags for your project to YCM. It's
+all in the User Guide.
+
+YCM comes with sane defaults for its options, but you still may want to take a
+look at what's available for configuration. There are a few interesting options
+that are conservatively turned off by default that you may want to turn on.

+ *youcompleteme-windows*
+Windows ~
+
+Please refer to the full Installation Guide below; the following commands are
+provided on a best-effort basis and may not work for you.
+
+**Important:** we assume that you are using the 'cmd.exe' command prompt and
+that you know how to add an executable to the PATH environment variable.
+
+Make sure you have at least Vim 7.3.598 with Python 2 or Python 3 support. You
+can check the version and which Python is supported by typing ':version' inside
+Vim. Look at the features included: '+python/dyn' for Python 2 and
+'+python3/dyn' for Python 3. Take note of the Vim architecture, i.e. 32 or
+64-bit. It will be important when choosing the Python installer. We recommend
+using a 64-bit client. Daily updated copies of 32-bit and 64-bit Vim with
+Python 2 and Python 3 support [29] are available.
+
+Install YouCompleteMe with Vundle [19].
+
+**Remember:** YCM is a plugin with a compiled component. If you **update** YCM
+using Vundle and the ycm_core library APIs have changed (happens rarely), YCM
+will notify you to recompile it. You should then rerun the install process.
+
+Download and install the following software:
+
+- Python 2 or Python 3 [30]. Be sure to pick the version corresponding to
+ your Vim architecture. It is _Windows x86_ for a 32-bit Vim and _Windows
+ x86-64_ for a 64-bit Vim. We recommend installing Python 3.
+
+- CMake [21]. Add CMake executable to the PATH environment variable.
+
+- Visual Studio [31]. Download the community edition. During setup, choose
+ _Custom_ as the installation type and select the _Visual C++_ component.

+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-full-installation-guide*
+Full Installation Guide ~
+
+These are the steps necessary to get YCM working on a Unix OS and on Windows.
+
+**Note to Windows users:** we assume that you are running the 'cmd.exe' command
+prompt and that the needed executables are in the PATH environment variable. Do
+not just copy the shell commands. Replace '~' by '%USERPROFILE%' in them and
+use the right Vim home directory. It should be 'vimfiles' by default instead of
+'.vim'.
+
+See the _FAQ_ if you have any issues.
+
+**Remember:** YCM is a plugin with a compiled component. If you **update** YCM
+using Vundle and the ycm_core library APIs have changed (happens rarely), YCM
+will notify you to recompile it. You should then rerun the install process.
+
+**Please follow the instructions carefully. Read EVERY WORD.**
+
+1. **Ensure that your version of Vim is _at least_ 7.3.598 _and_ that it has
+ support for Python 2 or Python 3 scripting**.
+
+ Inside Vim, type ':version'. Look at the first two to three lines of
+ output; it should say 'Vi IMproved X.Y', where X.Y is the major version
+ of vim. If your version is greater than 7.3, then you're all set. If your
+ version is 7.3 then look below that where it says, 'Included patches:
+ 1-Z', where Z will be some number. That number needs to be 598 or higher.
+
+ If your version of Vim is not recent enough, you may need to compile Vim
+ from source [26] (don't worry, it's easy).
+
+ After you have made sure that you have Vim 7.3.598+, type the following
+ in Vim: ":echo has('python') || has('python3')". The output should be 1.
+ If it's 0, then get a version of Vim with Python support.
+
+ On Windows, check also if your Vim architecture is 32 or 64-bit. This is
+ critical because it must match the Python and the YCM libraries
+ architectures. We recommend using a 64-bit Vim.
+
+2. **Install YCM** with Vundle [19] (or Pathogen [34], but Vundle is a
+ better idea). With Vundle, this would mean adding a "Plugin
+ 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'" line to your vimrc [35].
+
+ If you don't install YCM with Vundle, make sure you have run 'git
+ submodule update --init --recursive' after checking out the YCM
+ repository (Vundle will do this for you) to fetch YCM's dependencies.
+
+3. [Complete this step ONLY if you care about semantic completion support
+ for C-family languages. Otherwise it's not necessary.]
+
+ **Download the latest version of 'libclang'**. Clang is an open-source
+ compiler that can compile C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++. The 'libclang'
+ library it provides is used to power the YCM semantic completion engine
+ for those languages. YCM is designed to work with libclang version 3.8 or
+ higher.
+
+ You can use the system libclang _only if you are sure it is version 3.8
+ or higher_, otherwise don't. Even if it is, we recommend using the
+ official binaries from llvm.org [36] if at all possible. Make sure you
+ download the correct archive file for your OS.
+
+ We **STRONGLY recommend AGAINST use** of the system libclang instead of
+ the upstream compiled binaries. Random things may break. Save yourself
+ the hassle and use the upstream pre-built libclang.
+
+4. **Compile the 'ycm_core' library** that YCM needs. This library is the
+ C++ engine that YCM uses to get fast completions.
+
+ You will need to have 'cmake' installed in order to generate the required
+ makefiles. Linux users can install cmake with their package manager
+ ('sudo apt-get install cmake' for Ubuntu) whereas other users can
+ download and install [21] cmake from its project site. Mac users can also
+ get it through Homebrew [20] with 'brew install cmake'.
+
+ On a Unix OS, you need to make sure you have Python headers installed. On
+ a Debian-like Linux distro, this would be 'sudo apt-get install python-
+ dev python3-dev'. On Mac they should already be present.
+
+ On Windows, you need to download and install Python 2 or Python 3 [30].
+ Pick the version corresponding to your Vim architecture. You will also
+ need Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) to build YCM. You can obtain it by
+ installing Visual Studio [31]. MSVC 11 (Visual Studio 2012), 12 (2013),
+ and 14 (2015) are officially supported.
+
+ Here we'll assume you installed YCM with Vundle. That means that the top-
+ level YCM directory is in '~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe'.
+
+ We'll create a new folder where build files will be placed. Run the
+ following:
+>
+ cd ~
+ mkdir ycm_build
+ cd ycm_build
+<
+ Now we need to generate the makefiles. If you DON'T care about semantic
+ support for C-family languages, run the following command in the
+ 'ycm_build' directory:
+>
+ cmake -G "<generator>" . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp
+<
+ where '<generator>' is 'Unix Makefiles' on Unix systems and one of the
+ following Visual Studio generators on Windows:
+
+ - 'Visual Studio 11 Win64'
+ - 'Visual Studio 12 Win64'
+ - 'Visual Studio 14 Win64'
+
+ Remove the 'Win64' part in these generators if your Vim architecture is
+ 32-bit.
+
+ For those who want to use the system version of boost, you would pass
+ '-DUSE_SYSTEM_BOOST=ON' to cmake. This may be necessary on some systems
+ where the bundled version of boost doesn't compile out of the box.
+
+ NOTE: We **STRONGLY recommend AGAINST use** of the system boost instead
+ of the bundled version of boost. Random things may break. Save yourself
+ the hassle and use the bundled version of boost.
+
+ If you DO care about semantic support for C-family languages, then your
+ 'cmake' call will be a bit more complicated. We'll assume you downloaded
+ a binary distribution of LLVM+Clang from llvm.org in step 3 and that you
+ extracted the archive file to folder '~/ycm_temp/llvm_root_dir' (with
+ 'bin', 'lib', 'include' etc. folders right inside that folder). On
+ Windows, you can extract the files from the LLVM+Clang installer using
+ 7-zip [32].
+
+ NOTE: This _only_ works with a _downloaded_ LLVM binary package, not a
+ custom-built LLVM! See docs below for 'EXTERNAL_LIBCLANG_PATH' when using
+ a custom LLVM build.
+
+ With that in mind, run the following command in the 'ycm_build'
+ directory:
+>
+ cmake -G "<generator>" -DPATH_TO_LLVM_ROOT=~/ycm_temp/llvm_root_dir . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp
+<
+ where '<generator>' is replaced like above.
+
+ Now that configuration files have been generated, compile the libraries
+ using this command:
+>
+ cmake --build . --target ycm_core --config Release
+<
+ The '--config Release' part is specific to Windows and will be ignored on
+ a Unix OS.
+
+ For those who want to use the system version of libclang, you would pass
+ '-DUSE_SYSTEM_LIBCLANG=ON' to cmake _instead of_ the
+ '-DPATH_TO_LLVM_ROOT=...' flag.
+
+ NOTE: We **STRONGLY recommend AGAINST use** of the system libclang
+ instead of the upstream compiled binaries. Random things may break. Save
+ yourself the hassle and use the upstream pre-built libclang.
+
+ You could also force the use of a custom libclang library with
+ '-DEXTERNAL_LIBCLANG_PATH=/path/to/libclang.so' flag (the library would
+ end with '.dylib' on a Mac). Again, this flag would be used _instead of_
+ the other flags. **If you compiled LLVM from source, this is the flag you
+ should be using.**
+
+ Running the 'cmake' command will also place the 'libclang.[so|dylib|dll]'
+ in the 'YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd' folder for you if you compiled
+ with clang support (it needs to be there for YCM to work).
+
+5. Set up support for additional languages, as desired:
+
+6. C# support: install Mono on non-Windows platforms [37]. Navigate to
+ 'YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/OmniSharpServer' and run
+ 'msbuild' (Windows) or 'xbuild' (other platforms, using Mono) depending
+ on your platform. On Windows, be sure that the build utility 'msbuild' is
+ in your PATH [33].
+
+7. Go support: install Go [23] and add it to your path. Navigate to
+ 'YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/gocode' and run 'go build'.
+
+8. TypeScript support: as with the quick installation, simply 'npm install
+ -g typescript' after successfully installing Node.js and npm [24].
+
+9. JavaScript support: install Node.js and npm [24]. Then navigate to
+ 'YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/tern_runtime' and run 'npm
+ install --production'
+
+10. Rust support: install Rust [25]. Navigate to
+ 'YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/third_party/racerd' and run 'cargo
+ build --release'.
+
+That's it. You're done. Refer to the _User Guide_ section on how to use YCM.
+Don't forget that if you want the C-family semantic completion engine to work,
+you will need to provide the compilation flags for your project to YCM. It's
+all in the User Guide.
+
+YCM comes with sane defaults for its options, but you still may want to take a
+look at what's available for configuration. There are a few interesting options
+that are conservatively turned off by default that you may want to turn on.

+User Guide ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-general-usage*
+General Usage ~
+
+- If the offered completions are too broad, keep typing characters; YCM will
+ continue refining the offered completions based on your input.
+
+- Filtering is "smart-case" sensitive; if you are typing only lowercase
+ letters, then it's case-insensitive. If your input contains uppercase
+ letters, then the uppercase letters in your query must match uppercase
+ letters in the completion strings (the lowercase letters still match both).
+ So, "foo" matches "Foo" and "foo", "Foo" matches "Foo" and "FOO" but not
+ "foo".
+
+- Use the TAB key to accept a completion and continue pressing TAB to cycle
+ through the completions. Use Shift-TAB to cycle backwards. Note that if
+ you're using console Vim (that is, not Gvim or MacVim) then it's likely
+ that the Shift-TAB binding will not work because the console will not pass
+ it to Vim. You can remap the keys; see the _Options [38]_ section below.
+
+Knowing a little bit about how YCM works internally will prevent confusion. YCM
+has several completion engines: an identifier-based completer that collects all
+of the identifiers in the current file and other files you visit (and your tags
+files) and searches them when you type (identifiers are put into per-filetype
+groups).
+
+There are also several semantic engines in YCM. There's a libclang-based
+completer that provides semantic completion for C-family languages. There's a
+Jedi-based completer for semantic completion for Python. There's also an
+omnifunc-based completer that uses data from Vim's omnicomplete system to
+provide semantic completions when no native completer exists for that language
+in YCM.
+
+There are also other completion engines, like the UltiSnips completer and the
+filepath completer.
+
+YCM automatically detects which completion engine would be the best in any
+situation. On occasion, it queries several of them at once, merges the outputs
+and presents the results to you.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-client-server-architecture*
+Client-Server Architecture ~
+
+YCM has a client-server architecture; the Vim part of YCM is only a thin client
+that talks to the ycmd HTTP+JSON server [39] that has the vast majority of YCM
+logic and functionality. The server is started and stopped automatically as you
+start and stop Vim.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-completion-string-ranking*
+Completion String Ranking ~
+
+The subsequence filter removes any completions that do not match the input, but
+then the sorting system kicks in. It's actually very complicated and uses lots
+of factors, but suffice it to say that "word boundary" (WB) subsequence
+character matches are "worth" more than non-WB matches. In effect, this means
+given an input of "gua", the completion "getUserAccount" would be ranked higher
+in the list than the "Fooguxa" completion (both of which are subsequence
+matches). A word-boundary character are all capital characters, characters
+preceded by an underscore and the first letter character in the completion
+string.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-general-semantic-completion*
+General Semantic Completion ~
+
+- You can use Ctrl+Space to trigger the completion suggestions anywhere, even
+ without a string prefix. This is useful to see which top-level functions
+ are available for use.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-c-family-semantic-completion*
+C-family Semantic Completion ~
+
+YCM looks for a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file in the directory of the opened file
+or in any directory above it in the hierarchy (recursively); when the file is
+found, it is loaded (only once!) as a Python module. YCM calls a 'FlagsForFile'
+method in that module which should provide it with the information necessary to
+compile the current file. You can also provide a path to a global
+'.ycm_extra_conf.py' file, which will be used as a fallback. To prevent the
+execution of malicious code from a file you didn't write YCM will ask you once
+per '.ycm_extra_conf.py' if it is safe to load. This can be disabled and you
+can white-/blacklist files. See the _Options_ section for more details.
+
+This system was designed this way so that the user can perform any arbitrary
+sequence of operations to produce a list of compilation flags YCM should hand
+to Clang.
+
+See YCM's own '.ycm_extra_conf.py' [40] for details on how this works. You
+should be able to use it _as a starting point_. **Don't** just copy/paste that
+file somewhere and expect things to magically work; **your project needs
+different flags**. Hint: just replace the strings in the 'flags' variable with
+compilation flags necessary for your project. That should be enough for 99% of
+projects.
+
+Yes, Clang's 'CompilationDatabase' system [41] is also supported. Again, see
+the above linked example file. You can get CMake to generate this file for you
+by adding 'set( CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS 1 )' to your project's
+'CMakeLists.txt' file (if using CMake). If you're not using CMake, you could
+use something like Bear [42] to generate the 'compile_commands.json' file.
+
+Consider using YCM-Generator [43] to generate the 'ycm_extra_conf.py' file.
+
+If Clang encounters errors when compiling the header files that your file
+includes, then it's probably going to take a long time to get completions. When
+the completion menu finally appears, it's going to have a large number of
+unrelated completion strings (type/function names that are not actually
+members). This is because Clang fails to build a precompiled preamble for your
+file if there are any errors in the included headers and that preamble is key
+to getting fast completions.
+
+Call the |:YcmDiags| command to see if any errors or warnings were detected in
+your file.

+ *youcompleteme-javascript-semantic-completion*
+JavaScript Semantic Completion ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-quick-start*
+Quick start ~
+
+1. Ensure that you have enabled the Tern completer. See the installation
+ guide for details.
+
+2. Create a '.tern-project' file in the root directory of your JavaScript
+ project, by following the instructions [44] in the Tern [12]
+ documentation.
+
+3. Make sure that Vim's working directory is a descendent of that directory
+ (or that directory itself) when working with JavaScript files.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-explanation*
+Explanation ~
+
+JavaScript completion is based on Tern [12]. This completion engine requires a
+file named '.tern-project' [44] to exist in the current working directory or a
+directory which is an ancestor of the current working directory when the tern
+server is started. YCM starts the Tern server the first time a JavaScript file
+is edited, so Vim's working directory at that time needs to be a descendent of
+the directory containing the '.tern-project' file (or that directory itself).
+
+Alternatively, as described in the Tern documentation [45], a global '.tern-
+config' file may be used.
+
+Multiple Tern servers, are not supported. To switch to a different JavaScript
+project, you can do one of the following:
+
+- start a new instance of Vim from the new project's directory
+
+- change Vim's working directory (':cd /path/to/new/project') and restart the
+ ycmd server [39] (|:YcmRestartServer|)
+
+- change Vim's working directory (':cd /path/to/new/project'), open a
+ JavaScript file (or set filetype to JavaScript) and restart the Tern server
+ using YCM completer subcommands ':YcmCompleter StopServer' and
+ ':YcmCompleter StartServer'.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-tips-tricks*
+Tips and tricks ~
+
+This section contains some advice for configuring '.tern-project' and working
+with JavaScript files. The canonical reference for correctly configuring Tern
+is the Tern documentation [45]. Any issues, improvements, advice, etc. should
+be sought from the Tern [12] project. For example, see the list of tern plugins
+[46] for the list of plugins which can be enabled in the 'plugins' section of
+the '.tern-project' file.

+The following simple example '.tern-project' file enables nodejs support:
+>
+ {
+ "plugins": {
+ "node": {}
+ }
+ }
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-configuring-tern-for-requirejs-support*
+Configuring Tern for requirejs support ~
+
+The Tern requirejs plugin requires that all included "libraries" are rooted
+under the same base directory. If that's not the case for your projects, then
+it is possible to make it work with appropriate symbolic links. For example,
+create a directory 'ext_lib' within your project and populate it with symlinks
+to your libraries. Then set up the '.tern-project' something like this:
+>
+ {
+ "plugins": {
+ "requirejs": {
+ "baseURL": "./ext_lib",
+ }
+ }
+ }
+<
+Then, given the following structure:
+>
+ ./ext_lib/mylib (symlink)
+ ./ext_lib/anotherlib (symlink)
+<
+Can be used as follows:
+>
+ define( [ 'mylib/file1', 'anotherlib/anotherfile' ], function( f1, f2 ) {
+ // etc.
+ } );
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-rust-semantic-completion*
+Rust Semantic Completion ~
+
+Completions and GoTo commands within the current crate and its dependencies
+should work out of the box with no additional configuration (provided that you
+built YCM with the '--racer-completer' flag; see the _Installation_ section for
+details). For semantic analysis inclusive of the standard library, you must
+have a local copy of the rust source code [47]. You also need to set the
+following option so YouCompleteMe can locate it.
+>
+ " In this example, the rust source code zip has been extracted to
+ " /usr/local/rust/rustc-1.5.0
+ let g:ycm_rust_src_path = '/usr/local/rust/rustc-1.5.0/src'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-python-semantic-completion*
+Python Semantic Completion ~
+
+Completion and GoTo commands work out of the box with no additional
+configuration. Those features are provided by the jedi [6] library which
+supports a variety of Python versions (2.6, 2.7, 3.2+) as long as it runs in
+the corresponding Python interpreter. By default YCM runs jedi [6] with the
+same Python interpreter used by the ycmd server [39], so if you would like to
+use a different interpreter, use the following option specifying the Python
+binary to use. For example, to provide Python 3 completion in your project,
+set:
+>
+ let g:ycm_python_binary_path = '/usr/bin/python3'
+<
+If the value of |g:ycm_python_binary_path| is an absolute path like above it
+will be used as-is, but if it's an executable name it will be searched through
+the PATH. So for example if you set:
+>
+ let g:ycm_python_binary_path = 'python'
+<
+YCM will use the first 'python' executable it finds in the PATH to run jedi
+[6]. This means that if you are in a virtual environment and you start vim in
+that directory, the first 'python' that YCM will find will be the one in the
+virtual environment, so jedi [6] will be able to provide completions for every
+package you have in the virtual environment.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-semantic-completion-for-other-languages*
+Semantic Completion for Other Languages ~
+
+Python, C#, Go, Rust, and TypeScript are supported natively by YouCompleteMe
+using the Jedi [6], Omnisharp [8], Gocode [9], racer [13], and TSServer [11]
+engines, respectively. Check the installation section for instructions to
+enable these features if desired.
+
+YCM will use your 'omnifunc' (see ':h omnifunc' in Vim) as a source for
+semantic completions if it does not have a native semantic completion engine
+for your file's filetype. Vim comes with okayish omnifuncs for various
+languages like Ruby, PHP etc. It depends on the language.
+
+You can get stellar omnifuncs for Java and Ruby with Eclim [48]. Just make sure
+you have the _latest_ Eclim installed and configured (this means Eclim '>=
+2.2.*' and Eclipse '>= 4.2.*').
+
+After installing Eclim remember to create a new Eclipse project within your
+application by typing ':ProjectCreate <path-to-your-project> -n ruby' (or '-n
+java') inside vim and don't forget to have "let g:EclimCompletionMethod =
+'omnifunc'" in your vimrc. This will make YCM and Eclim play nice; YCM will use
+Eclim's omnifuncs as the data source for semantic completions and provide the
+auto-triggering and subsequence-based matching (and other YCM features) on top
+of it.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-writing-new-semantic-completers*
+Writing New Semantic Completers ~
+
+You have two options here: writing an 'omnifunc' for Vim's omnicomplete system
+that YCM will then use through its omni-completer, or a custom completer for
+YCM using the Completer API [49].
+
+Here are the differences between the two approaches:
+
+- You have to use VimScript to write the omnifunc, but get to use Python to
+ write for the Completer API; this by itself should make you want to use the
+ API.
+
+- The Completer API is a _much_ more powerful way to integrate with YCM and
+ it provides a wider set of features. For instance, you can make your
+ Completer query your semantic back-end in an asynchronous fashion, thus not
+ blocking Vim's GUI thread while your completion system is processing stuff.
+ This is impossible with VimScript. All of YCM's completers use the
+ Completer API.
+
+- Performance with the Completer API is better since Python executes faster
+ than VimScript.
+
+If you want to use the 'omnifunc' system, see the relevant Vim docs with ':h
+complete-functions'. For the Completer API, see the API docs [49].
+
+If you want to upstream your completer into YCM's source, you should use the
+Completer API.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-diagnostic-display*
+Diagnostic Display ~
+
+YCM will display diagnostic notifications for C-family and C# languages if you
+compiled YCM with Clang and Omnisharp support, respectively. Since YCM
+continuously recompiles your file as you type, you'll get notified of errors
+and warnings in your file as fast as possible.
+
+Here are the various pieces of the diagnostic UI:
+
+- Icons show up in the Vim gutter on lines that have a diagnostic.
+- Regions of text related to diagnostics are highlighted (by default, a red
+ wavy underline in 'gvim' and a red background in 'vim').
+- Moving the cursor to a line with a diagnostic echoes the diagnostic text.
+- Vim's location list is automatically populated with diagnostic data (off by
+ default, see options).
+
+The new diagnostics (if any) will be displayed the next time you press any key
+on the keyboard. So if you stop typing and just wait for the new diagnostics to
+come in, that _will not work_. You need to press some key for the GUI to
+update.
+
+Having to press a key to get the updates is unfortunate, but cannot be changed
+due to the way Vim internals operate; there is no way that a background task
+can update Vim's GUI after it has finished running. You _have to_ press a key.
+This will make YCM check for any pending diagnostics updates.
+
+You _can_ force a full, blocking compilation cycle with the
+|:YcmForceCompileAndDiagnostics| command (you may want to map that command to a
+key; try putting 'nnoremap <F5> :YcmForceCompileAndDiagnostics<CR>' in your
+vimrc). Calling this command will force YCM to immediately recompile your file
+and display any new diagnostics it encounters. Do note that recompilation with
+this command may take a while and during this time the Vim GUI _will_ be
+blocked.
+
+YCM will display a short diagnostic message when you move your cursor to the
+line with the error. You can get a detailed diagnostic message with the
+'<leader>d' key mapping (can be changed in the options) YCM provides when your
+cursor is on the line with the diagnostic.
+
+You can also see the full diagnostic message for all the diagnostics in the
+current file in Vim's 'locationlist', which can be opened with the ':lopen' and
+':lclose' commands (make sure you have set 'let
+g:ycm_always_populate_location_list = 1' in your vimrc). A good way to toggle
+the display of the 'locationlist' with a single key mapping is provided by
+another (very small) Vim plugin called ListToggle [50] (which also makes it
+possible to change the height of the 'locationlist' window), also written by
+yours truly.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-diagnostic-highlighting-groups*
+Diagnostic Highlighting Groups ~
+
+You can change the styling for the highlighting groups YCM uses. For the signs
+in the Vim gutter, the relevant groups are:
+
+- 'YcmErrorSign', which falls back to group 'SyntasticErrorSign' and then
+ 'error' if they exist
+
+- 'YcmWarningSign', which falls back to group 'SyntasticWarningSign' and then
+ 'todo' if they exist
+
+You can also style the line that has the warning/error with these groups:
+
+- 'YcmErrorLine', which falls back to group 'SyntasticErrorLine' if it exists
+- 'YcmWarningLine', which falls back to group 'SyntasticWarningLine' if it
+ exists
+
+Note that the line highlighting groups only work when gutter signs are turned
+on.
+
+The syntax groups used to highlight regions of text with errors/warnings: -
+'YcmErrorSection', which falls back to group 'SyntasticError' if it exists and
+then 'SpellBad' - 'YcmWarningSection', which falls back to group
+'SyntasticWarning' if it exists and then 'SpellCap'
+
+Here's how you'd change the style for a group:
+>
+ highlight YcmErrorLine guibg=#3f0000

+===============================================================================
+ *youcompleteme-commands*
+Commands ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmRestartServer* command
+
+If the ycmd completion server [39] suddenly stops for some reason, you can
+restart it with this command.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmForceCompileAndDiagnostics* command
+
+Calling this command will force YCM to immediately recompile your file and
+display any new diagnostics it encounters. Do note that recompilation with this
+command may take a while and during this time the Vim GUI _will_ be blocked.
+
+You may want to map this command to a key; try putting 'nnoremap <F5>
+:YcmForceCompileAndDiagnostics<CR>' in your vimrc.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmDiags* command
+
+Calling this command will fill Vim's 'locationlist' with errors or warnings if
+any were detected in your file and then open it. If a given error or warning
+can be fixed by a call to ':YcmCompleter FixIt', then '(FixIt available)' is
+appended to the error or warning text. See the |FixIt| completer subcommand for
+more information.
+
+NOTE: The absense of '(FixIt available)' does not strictly imply a fix-it is
+not available as not all completers are able to provide this indication. For
+example, the c-sharp completer provides many fix-its but does not add this
+additional indication.
+
+The |g:ycm_open_loclist_on_ycm_diags| option can be used to prevent the
+location list from opening, but still have it filled with new diagnostic data.
+See the _Options_ section for details.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmShowDetailedDiagnostic* command
+
+This command shows the full diagnostic text when the user's cursor is on the
+line with the diagnostic.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmDebugInfo* command
+
+This will print out various debug information for the current file. Useful to
+see what compile commands will be used for the file if you're using the
+semantic completion engine.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmToggleLogs* command
+
+This command automatically opens in windows the stdout and stderr logfiles
+written by the ycmd server [39]. If one or both logfiles are already opened,
+they are automatically closed. 'stderr' or 'stdout' can be specified as an
+argument of this command to only open the corresponding logfile instead of
+both. If this logfile is already opened, it will be closed. Only for debugging
+purpose.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *:YcmCompleter* command
+
+This command gives access to a number of additional IDE-like features in YCM,
+for things like semantic GoTo, type information, FixIt and refactoring.
+
+Technically the command invokes completer-specific commands. If the first
+argument is of the form 'ft=...' the completer for that file type will be used
+(for example 'ft=cpp'), else the native completer of the current buffer will be
+used. Call 'YcmCompleter' without further arguments for a list of the commands
+you can call for the current completer.
+
+See the file type feature summary for an overview of the features available for
+each file type. See the _YcmCompleter subcommands_ section for more information
+on the available subcommands and their usage.
+
+===============================================================================
+ *youcompleteme-ycmcompleter-subcommands*
+YcmCompleter Subcommands ~
+
+NOTE: See the docs for the 'YcmCompleter' command before tackling this section.
+
+The invoked subcommand is automatically routed to the currently active semantic
+completer, so ':YcmCompleter GoToDefinition' will invoke the |GoToDefinition|
+subcommand on the Python semantic completer if the currently active file is a
+Python one and on the Clang completer if the currently active file is a
+C/C++/Objective-C one.
+
+You may also want to map the subcommands to something less verbose; for
+instance, 'nnoremap <leader>jd :YcmCompleter GoTo<CR>' maps the '<leader>jd'
+sequence to the longer subcommand invocation.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-goto-commands*
+GoTo Commands ~
+
+These commands are useful for jumping around and exploring code. When moving
+the cursor, the subcommands add entries to Vim's 'jumplist' so you can use
+'CTRL-O' to jump back to where you where before invoking the command (and
+'CTRL-I' to jump forward; see ':h jumplist' for details). If there is more than
+one destination, the quickfix list (see ':h quickfix') is populated with the
+available locations and opened to full width at the bottom of the screen. You
+can change this behavior by using the |YcmQuickFixOpened| autocommand.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToInclude* subcommand
+
+Looks up the current line for a header and jumps to it.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToDeclaration* subcommand
+
+Looks up the symbol under the cursor and jumps to its declaration.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cs, go, python, rust'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToDefinition* subcommand
+
+Looks up the symbol under the cursor and jumps to its definition.
+
+NOTE: For C-family languages **this only works in certain situations**, namely
+when the definition of the symbol is in the current translation unit. A
+translation unit consists of the file you are editing and all the files you are
+including with '#include' directives (directly or indirectly) in that file.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cs, go, javascript, python,
+rust, typescript'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoTo* subcommand
+
+This command tries to perform the "most sensible" GoTo operation it can.
+Currently, this means that it tries to look up the symbol under the cursor and
+jumps to its definition if possible; if the definition is not accessible from
+the current translation unit, jumps to the symbol's declaration. For
+C/C++/Objective-C, it first tries to look up the current line for a header and
+jump to it. For C#, implementations are also considered and preferred.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cs, go, javascript, python,
+rust'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToImprecise* subcommand
+
+WARNING: This command trades correctness for speed!
+
+Same as the |GoTo| command except that it doesn't recompile the file with
+libclang before looking up nodes in the AST. This can be very useful when
+you're editing files that take long to compile but you know that you haven't
+made any changes since the last parse that would lead to incorrect jumps. When
+you're just browsing around your codebase, this command can spare you quite a
+bit of latency.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToReferences* subcommand
+
+This command attempts to find all of the references within the project to the
+identifier under the cursor and populates the quickfix list with those
+locations.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'javascript, python, typescript'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToImplementation* subcommand
+
+Looks up the symbol under the cursor and jumps to its implementation (i.e. non-
+interface). If there are multiple implementations, instead provides a list of
+implementations to choose from.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'cs'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GoToImplementationElseDeclaration* subcommand
+
+Looks up the symbol under the cursor and jumps to its implementation if one,
+else jump to its declaration. If there are multiple implementations, instead
+provides a list of implementations to choose from.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'cs'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-semantic-information-commands*
+Semantic Information Commands ~
+
+These commands are useful for finding static information about the code, such
+as the types of variables, viewing declarations and documentation strings.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GetType* subcommand
+
+Echos the type of the variable or method under the cursor, and where it
+differs, the derived type.
+
+For example:
+>
+ std::string s;
+<
+Invoking this command on 's' returns 'std::string => std::basic_string<char>'
+
+NOTE: Due to limitations of 'libclang', invoking this command on the word
+'auto' typically returns 'auto'. However, invoking it on a usage of the
+variable with inferred type returns the correct type, but typically it is
+repeated due to 'libclang' returning that the types differ.
+
+For example:
+>
+ const char *s = "String";
+ auto x = &s; // invoking on x or auto returns "auto";
+ // invoking on s returns "const char *"
+ std::cout << *x; // invoking on x returns "const char ** => const char **"
+<
+NOTE: Causes re-parsing of the current translation unit.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, javascript, typescript'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GetParent* subcommand
+
+Echos the semantic parent of the point under the cursor.
+
+The semantic parent is the item that semantically contains the given position.
+
+For example:
+>
+ class C {
+ void f();
+ };
+
+ void C::f() {
+
+ }
+<
+In the out-of-line definition of 'C::f', the semantic parent is the class 'C',
+of which this function is a member.
+
+In the example above, both declarations of 'C::f' have 'C' as their semantic
+context, while the lexical context of the first 'C::f' is 'C' and the lexical
+context of the second 'C::f' is the translation unit.
+
+For global declarations, the semantic parent is the translation unit.
+
+NOTE: Causes re-parsing of the current translation unit.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *GetDoc* subcommand
+
+Displays the preview window populated with quick info about the identifier
+under the cursor. Depending on the file type, this includes things like:
+
+- The type or declaration of identifier,
+- Doxygen/javadoc comments,
+- Python docstrings,
+- etc.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cs, python, typescript,
+javascript'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-refactoring-fixit-commands*
+Refactoring and FixIt Commands ~
+
+These commands make changes to your source code in order to perform refactoring
+or code correction. YouCompleteMe does not perform any action which cannot be
+undone, and never saves or writes files to the disk.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *FixIt* subcommand
+
+Where available, attempts to make changes to the buffer to correct the
+diagnostic closest to the cursor position.
+
+Completers which provide diagnostics may also provide trivial modifications to
+the source in order to correct the diagnostic. Examples include syntax errors
+such as missing trailing semi-colons, spurious characters, or other errors
+which the semantic engine can deterministically suggest corrections.
+
+If no fix-it is available for the current line, or there is no diagnostic on
+the current line, this command has no effect on the current buffer. If any
+modifications are made, the number of changes made to the buffer is echo'd and
+the user may use the editor's undo command to revert.
+
+When a diagnostic is available, and |g:ycm_echo_current_diagnostic| is set to
+1, then the text '(FixIt)' is appended to the echo'd diagnostic when the
+completer is able to add this indication. The text '(FixIt available)' is also
+appended to the diagnostic text in the output of the |:YcmDiags| command for
+any diagnostics with available fix-its (where the completer can provide this
+indication).
+
+NOTE: Causes re-parsing of the current translation unit.
+
+NOTE: After applying a fix-it, the diagnostics UI is not immediately updated.
+This is due to a technical restriction in Vim. Moving the cursor, or issuing
+the |:YcmForceCompileAndDiagnostics| command will refresh the diagnostics.
+Repeated invocations of the |FixIt| command on a given line, however, _do_
+apply all diagnostics as expected without requiring refreshing of the
+diagnostics UI. This is particularly useful where there are multiple
+diagnostics on one line, or where after fixing one diagnostic, another fix-it
+is available.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cs'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *RefactorRename-new-name*
+The 'RefactorRename <new name>' subcommand ~
+
+In supported file types, this command attempts to perform a semantic rename of
+the identifier under the cursor. This includes renaming declarations,
+definitions and usages of the identifier, or any other language-appropriate
+action. The specific behavior is defined by the semantic engine in use.
+
+Similar to |FixIt|, this command applies automatic modifications to your source
+files. Rename operations may involve changes to multiple files, which may or
+may not be open in Vim buffers at the time. YouCompleteMe handles all of this
+for you. The behavior is described in the following section.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'javascript' (variables only), 'typescript'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-multi-file-refactor*
+Multi-file Refactor ~
+
+When a Refactor or FixIt command touches multiple files, YouCompleteMe attempts
+to apply those modifications to any existing open, visible buffer in the
+current tab. If no such buffer can be found, YouCompleteMe opens the file in a
+new small horizontal split at the top of the current window, applies the
+change, and then _hides_ the window. NOTE: The buffer remains open, and must be
+manually saved. A confirmation dialog is opened prior to doing this to remind
+you that this is about to happen.
+
+Once the modifications have been made, the quickfix list (see ':help quickfix')
+is opened and populated with the locations of all modifications. This can be
+used to review all automatic changes made. Typically, use the 'CTRL-W <enter>'
+combination to open the selected file in a new split. It is possible to
+customize how the quickfix window is opened by using the |YcmQuickFixOpened|
+autocommand.
+
+The buffers are _not_ saved automatically. That is, you must save the modified
+buffers manually after reviewing the changes from the quickfix list. Changes
+can be undone using Vim's powerful undo features (see ':help undo'). Note that
+Vim's undo is per-buffer, so to undo all changes, the undo commands must be
+applied in each modified buffer separately.
+
+NOTE: While applying modifications, Vim may find files which are already open
+and have a swap file. The command is aborted if you select Abort or Quit in any
+such prompts. This leaves the Refactor operation partially complete and must be
+manually corrected using Vim's undo features. The quickfix list is _not_
+populated in this case. Inspect ':buffers' or equivalent (see ':help buffers')
+to see the buffers that were opened by the command.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-miscellaneous-commands*
+Miscellaneous Commands ~
+
+These commands are for general administration, rather than IDE-like features.
+They cover things like the semantic engine server instance and compilation
+flags.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *ClearCompilationFlagCache* subcommand
+
+YCM caches the flags it gets from the 'FlagsForFile' function in your
+'ycm_extra_conf.py' file if you return them with the 'do_cache' parameter set
+to 'True'. The cache is in memory and is never invalidated (unless you restart
+Vim of course).
+
+This command clears that cache entirely. YCM will then re-query your
+'FlagsForFile' function as needed in the future.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *StartServer* subcommand
+
+Starts the semantic-engine-as-localhost-server for those semantic engines that
+work as separate servers that YCM talks to.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'cs, go, javascript, rust'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *StopServer* subcommand
+
+Stops the semantic-engine-as-localhost-server for those semantic engines that
+work as separate servers that YCM talks to.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'cs, go, javascript, rust'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *RestartServer* subcommand
+
+Restarts the semantic-engine-as-localhost-server for those semantic engines
+that work as separate servers that YCM talks to.
+
+An additional optional argument may be supplied for Python, specifying the
+python binary to use to restart the Python semantic engine.
+>
+ :YcmCompleter RestartServer /usr/bin/python3.4
+<
+Supported in filetypes: 'cs, python, rust'
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *ReloadSolution* subcommand
+
+Instruct the Omnisharp server to clear its cache and reload all files from
+disk. This is useful when files are added, removed, or renamed in the solution,
+files are changed outside of Vim, or whenever Omnisharp cache is out-of-sync.
+
+Supported in filetypes: 'cs'
+
+===============================================================================
+ *youcompleteme-functions*
+Functions ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *youcompleteme#GetErrorCount* function
+
+Get the number of YCM Diagnostic errors. If no errors are present, this
+function returns 0.
+
+For example:
+>
+ call youcompleteme#GetErrorCount()
+<
+Both this function and |youcompleteme#GetWarningCount| can be useful when
+integrating YCM with other Vim plugins. For example, a lightline [51] user
+could add a diagnostics section to their statusline which would display the
+number of errors and warnings.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *youcompleteme#GetWarningCount* function
+
+Get the number of YCM Diagnostic warnings. If no warnings are present, this
+function returns 0.
+
+For example:
+>
+ call youcompleteme#GetWarningCount()
+<
+===============================================================================
+ *youcompleteme-autocommands*
+Autocommands ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *YcmQuickFixOpened* autocommand
+
+This 'User' autocommand is fired when YCM opens the quickfix window in response
+to the 'GoTo*' and 'RefactorRename' subcommands. By default, the quickfix
+window is opened to full width at the bottom of the screen and its height is
+set to fit all entries. This behavior can be overridden by using the
+|YcmQuickFixOpened| autocommand. For instance:
+>
+ function s:CustomizeYcmQuickFixWindow()
+ " Move the window at the top of the screen.
+ execute "wincmd K"
+ " Set the window height to 5.
+ execute "5wincmd _"
+ endfunction
+
+ autocmd User YcmQuickFixOpened call s:CustomizeYcmQuickFixWindow()

+All options have reasonable defaults so if the plug-in works after installation
+you don't need to change any options. These options can be configured in your
+vimrc script [35] by including a line like this:
+>
+ let g:ycm_min_num_of_chars_for_completion = 1
+<
+Note that after changing an option in your vimrc script [35] you have to
+restart Vim for the changes to take effect.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_min_num_of_chars_for_completion* option
+
+This option controls the number of characters the user needs to type before
+identifier-based completion suggestions are triggered. For example, if the
+option is set to '2', then when the user types a second alphanumeric character
+after a whitespace character, completion suggestions will be triggered. This
+option is NOT used for semantic completion.
+
+Setting this option to a high number like '99' effectively turns off the
+identifier completion engine and just leaves the semantic engine.
+
+Default: '2'
+>
+ let g:ycm_min_num_of_chars_for_completion = 2
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_min_num_identifier_candidate_chars* option
+
+This option controls the minimum number of characters that a completion
+candidate coming from the identifier completer must have to be shown in the
+popup menu.
+
+A special value of '0' means there is no limit.
+
+NOTE: This option only applies to the identifier completer; it has no effect on
+the various semantic completers.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_min_num_identifier_candidate_chars = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_auto_trigger* option
+
+When set to '0', this option turns off YCM's identifier completer (the as-you-
+type popup) _and_ the semantic triggers (the popup you'd get after typing '.'
+or '->' in say C++). You can still force semantic completion with the
+'<C-Space>' shortcut.
+
+If you want to just turn off the identifier completer but keep the semantic
+triggers, you should set |g:ycm_min_num_of_chars_for_completion| to a high
+number like '99'.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_auto_trigger = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_filetype_whitelist* option
+
+This option controls for which Vim filetypes (see ':h filetype') should YCM be
+turned on. The option value should be a Vim dictionary with keys being filetype
+strings (like 'python', 'cpp' etc) and values being unimportant (the dictionary
+is used like a hash set, meaning that only the keys matter).
+
+The '*' key is special and matches all filetypes. By default, the whitelist
+contains only this '*' key.
+
+YCM also has a |g:ycm_filetype_blacklist| option that lists filetypes for which
+YCM shouldn't be turned on. YCM will work only in filetypes that both the
+whitelist and the blacklist allow (the blacklist "allows" a filetype by _not_
+having it as a key).
+
+For example, let's assume you want YCM to work in files with the 'cpp'
+filetype. The filetype should then be present in the whitelist either directly
+('cpp' key in the whitelist) or indirectly through the special '*' key. It
+should _not_ be present in the blacklist.
+
+Filetypes that are blocked by the either of the lists will be completely
+ignored by YCM, meaning that neither the identifier-based completion engine nor
+the semantic engine will operate in them.
+
+You can get the filetype of the current file in Vim with ':set ft?'.
+
+Default: "{'*' : 1}"
+>
+ let g:ycm_filetype_whitelist = { '*': 1 }
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_filetype_blacklist* option
+
+This option controls for which Vim filetypes (see ':h filetype') should YCM be
+turned off. The option value should be a Vim dictionary with keys being
+filetype strings (like 'python', 'cpp' etc) and values being unimportant (the
+dictionary is used like a hash set, meaning that only the keys matter).
+
+See the |g:ycm_filetype_whitelist| option for more details on how this works.

+ \ 'pandoc' : 1,
+ \ 'infolog' : 1,
+ \ 'mail' : 1
+ \}
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_filetype_specific_completion_to_disable* option
+
+This option controls for which Vim filetypes (see ':h filetype') should the YCM
+semantic completion engine be turned off. The option value should be a Vim
+dictionary with keys being filetype strings (like 'python', 'cpp' etc) and
+values being unimportant (the dictionary is used like a hash set, meaning that
+only the keys matter). The listed filetypes will be ignored by the YCM semantic
+completion engine, but the identifier-based completion engine will still
+trigger in files of those filetypes.
+
+Note that even if semantic completion is not turned off for a specific
+filetype, you will not get semantic completion if the semantic engine does not
+support that filetype.
+
+You can get the filetype of the current file in Vim with ':set ft?'.
+
+Default: '[see next line]'
+>
+ let g:ycm_filetype_specific_completion_to_disable = {
+ \ 'gitcommit': 1
+ \}
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_show_diagnostics_ui* option
+
+When set, this option turns on YCM's diagnostic display features. See the
+_Diagnostic display_ section in the _User Manual_ for more details.
+
+Specific parts of the diagnostics UI (like the gutter signs, text highlighting,
+diagnostic echo and auto location list population) can be individually turned
+on or off. See the other options below for details.
+
+Note that YCM's diagnostics UI is only supported for C-family languages.
+
+When set, this option also makes YCM remove all Syntastic checkers set for the
+'c', 'cpp', 'objc' and 'objcpp' filetypes since this would conflict with YCM's
+own diagnostics UI.
+
+If you're using YCM's identifier completer in C-family languages but cannot use
+the clang-based semantic completer for those languages _and_ want to use the
+GCC Syntastic checkers, unset this option.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_show_diagnostics_ui = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_error_symbol* option
+
+YCM will use the value of this option as the symbol for errors in the Vim
+gutter.
+
+This option is part of the Syntastic compatibility layer; if the option is not
+set, YCM will fall back to the value of the 'g:syntastic_error_symbol' option
+before using this option's default.
+
+Default: '>>'
+>
+ let g:ycm_error_symbol = '>>'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_warning_symbol* option
+
+YCM will use the value of this option as the symbol for warnings in the Vim
+gutter.
+
+This option is part of the Syntastic compatibility layer; if the option is not
+set, YCM will fall back to the value of the 'g:syntastic_warning_symbol' option
+before using this option's default.
+
+Default: '>>'
+>
+ let g:ycm_warning_symbol = '>>'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_enable_diagnostic_signs* option
+
+When this option is set, YCM will put icons in Vim's gutter on lines that have
+a diagnostic set. Turning this off will also turn off the 'YcmErrorLine' and
+'YcmWarningLine' highlighting.
+
+This option is part of the Syntastic compatibility layer; if the option is not
+set, YCM will fall back to the value of the 'g:syntastic_enable_signs' option
+before using this option's default.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_enable_diagnostic_signs = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_enable_diagnostic_highlighting* option
+
+When this option is set, YCM will highlight regions of text that are related to
+the diagnostic that is present on a line, if any.
+
+This option is part of the Syntastic compatibility layer; if the option is not
+set, YCM will fall back to the value of the 'g:syntastic_enable_highlighting'
+option before using this option's default.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_enable_diagnostic_highlighting = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_echo_current_diagnostic* option
+
+When this option is set, YCM will echo the text of the diagnostic present on
+the current line when you move your cursor to that line. If a |FixIt| is
+available for the current diagnostic, then '(FixIt)' is appended.
+
+This option is part of the Syntastic compatibility layer; if the option is not
+set, YCM will fall back to the value of the 'g:syntastic_echo_current_error'
+option before using this option's default.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_echo_current_diagnostic = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_always_populate_location_list* option
+
+When this option is set, YCM will populate the location list automatically
+every time it gets new diagnostic data. This option is off by default so as not
+to interfere with other data you might have placed in the location list.
+
+See ':help location-list' in Vim to learn more about the location list.
+
+This option is part of the Syntastic compatibility layer; if the option is not
+set, YCM will fall back to the value of the
+'g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list' option before using this option's
+default.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_always_populate_location_list = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_open_loclist_on_ycm_diags* option
+
+When this option is set, |:YcmDiags| will automatically open the location list
+after forcing a compilation and filling the list with diagnostic data.
+
+See ':help location-list' in Vim to learn more about the location list.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_open_loclist_on_ycm_diags = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_allow_changing_updatetime* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM will change the 'updatetime' Vim option to
+'2000' (see ':h updatetime'). This may conflict with some other plugins you
+have (but it's unlikely). The 'updatetime' option is the number of milliseconds
+that have to pass before Vim's 'CursorHold' (see ':h CursorHold') event fires.
+YCM runs the completion engines' "file comprehension" systems in the background
+on every such event; the identifier-based engine collects the identifiers
+whereas the semantic engine compiles the file to build an AST.
+
+The Vim default of '4000' for 'updatetime' is a bit long, so YCM reduces this.
+Set this option to '0' to force YCM to leave your 'updatetime' setting alone.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_allow_changing_updatetime = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_complete_in_comments* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM will show the completion menu even when
+typing inside comments.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_complete_in_comments = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_complete_in_strings* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM will show the completion menu even when
+typing inside strings.
+
+Note that this is turned on by default so that you can use the filename
+completion inside strings. This is very useful for instance in C-family files
+where typing '#include "' will trigger the start of filename completion. If you
+turn off this option, you will turn off filename completion in such situations
+as well.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_complete_in_strings = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_collect_identifiers_from_comments_and_strings* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM's identifier completer will also collect
+identifiers from strings and comments. Otherwise, the text in comments and
+strings will be ignored.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_collect_identifiers_from_comments_and_strings = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_collect_identifiers_from_tags_files* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM's identifier completer will also collect
+identifiers from tags files. The list of tags files to examine is retrieved
+from the 'tagfiles()' Vim function which examines the 'tags' Vim option. See
+":h 'tags'" for details.
+
+YCM will re-index your tags files if it detects that they have been modified.
+
+The only supported tag format is the Exuberant Ctags format [52]. The format
+from "plain" ctags is NOT supported. Ctags needs to be called with the '--
+fields=+l' option (that's a lowercase 'L', not a one) because YCM needs the
+'language:<lang>' field in the tags output.
+
+See the _FAQ_ for pointers if YCM does not appear to read your tag files.
+
+This option is off by default because it makes Vim slower if your tags are on a
+network directory.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_collect_identifiers_from_tags_files = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_seed_identifiers_with_syntax* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM's identifier completer will seed its
+identifier database with the keywords of the programming language you're
+writing.
+
+Since the keywords are extracted from the Vim syntax file for the filetype, all
+keywords may not be collected, depending on how the syntax file was written.
+Usually at least 95% of the keywords are successfully extracted.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_seed_identifiers_with_syntax = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_extra_conf_vim_data* option
+
+If you're using semantic completion for C-family files, this option might come
+handy; it's a way of sending data from Vim to your 'FlagsForFile' function in
+your '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file.
+
+This option is supposed to be a list of VimScript expression strings that are
+evaluated for every request to the ycmd server [39] and then passed to your
+'FlagsForFile' function as a 'client_data' keyword argument.
+
+For instance, if you set this option to "['v:version']", your 'FlagsForFile'
+function will be called like this:
+>
+ # The '704' value is of course contingent on Vim 7.4; in 7.3 it would be '703'
+ FlagsForFile(filename, client_data = {'v:version': 704})
+<
+So the 'client_data' parameter is a dictionary mapping Vim expression strings
+to their values at the time of the request.
+
+The correct way to define parameters for your 'FlagsForFile' function:
+>
+ def FlagsForFile(filename, **kwargs):
+<
+You can then get to 'client_data' with "kwargs['client_data']".
+
+Default: '[]'
+>
+ let g:ycm_extra_conf_vim_data = []
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_server_python_interpreter* option
+
+YCM will by default search for an appropriate Python interpreter on your
+system. You can use this option to override that behavior and force the use of
+a specific interpreter of your choosing.
+
+NOTE: This interpreter is only used for the ycmd server [39]. The YCM client
+running inside Vim always uses the Python interpreter that's embedded inside
+Vim.
+
+Default: "''"
+>
+ let g:ycm_server_python_interpreter = ''
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', the ycmd completion server [39] will keep the
+logfiles around after shutting down (they are deleted on shutdown by default).
+
+To see where the logfiles are, call |:YcmDebugInfo|.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_server_log_level* option
+
+The logging level that the ycmd completion server [39] uses. Valid values are
+the following, from most verbose to least verbose: - 'debug' - 'info' -
+'warning' - 'error' - 'critical'
+
+Note that 'debug' is _very_ verbose.
+
+Default: 'info'
+>
+ let g:ycm_server_log_level = 'info'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_auto_start_csharp_server* option
+
+When set to '1', the OmniSharp server will be automatically started (once per
+Vim session) when you open a C# file.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_auto_start_csharp_server = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_auto_stop_csharp_server* option
+
+When set to '1', the OmniSharp server will be automatically stopped upon
+closing Vim.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_auto_stop_csharp_server = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_csharp_server_port* option
+
+When g:ycm_auto_start_csharp_server is set to '1', specifies the port for the
+OmniSharp server to listen on. When set to '0' uses an unused port provided by
+the OS.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_csharp_server_port = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_csharp_insert_namespace_expr* option
+
+By default, when YCM inserts a namespace, it will insert the 'using' statement
+under the nearest 'using' statement. You may prefer that the 'using' statement
+is inserted somewhere, for example, to preserve sorting. If so, you can set
+this option to override this behavior.
+
+When this option is set, instead of inserting the 'using' statement itself, YCM
+will set the global variable 'g:ycm_namespace_to_insert' to the namespace to
+insert, and then evaluate this option's value as an expression. The option's
+expression is responsible for inserting the namespace - the default insertion
+will not occur.
+
+Default: ''
+>
+ let g:ycm_csharp_insert_namespace_expr = ''
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_add_preview_to_completeopt* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM will add the 'preview' string to Vim's
+'completeopt' option (see ':h completeopt'). If your 'completeopt' option
+already has 'preview' set, there will be no effect. You can see the current
+state of your 'completeopt' setting with ':set completeopt?' (yes, the question
+mark is important).
+
+When 'preview' is present in 'completeopt', YCM will use the 'preview' window
+at the top of the file to store detailed information about the current
+completion candidate (but only if the candidate came from the semantic engine).
+For instance, it would show the full function prototype and all the function
+overloads in the window if the current completion is a function name.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_add_preview_to_completeopt = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_completion* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM will auto-close the 'preview' window after
+the user accepts the offered completion string. If there is no 'preview' window
+triggered because there is no 'preview' string in 'completeopt', this option is
+irrelevant. See the |g:ycm_add_preview_to_completeopt| option for more details.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_completion = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_insertion* option
+
+When this option is set to '1', YCM will auto-close the 'preview' window after
+the user leaves insert mode. This option is irrelevant if
+|g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_completion| is set or if no 'preview'
+window is triggered. See the |g:ycm_add_preview_to_completeopt| option for more
+details.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_insertion = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_max_diagnostics_to_display* option
+
+This option controls the maximum number of diagnostics shown to the user when
+errors or warnings are detected in the file. This option is only relevant if
+you are using the C-family semantic completion engine.
+
+Default: '30'
+>
+ let g:ycm_max_diagnostics_to_display = 30
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_key_list_select_completion* option
+
+This option controls the key mappings used to select the first completion
+string. Invoking any of them repeatedly cycles forward through the completion
+list.
+
+Some users like adding '<Enter>' to this list.
+
+Default: "['<TAB>', '<Down>']"
+>
+ let g:ycm_key_list_select_completion = ['<TAB>', '<Down>']
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_key_list_previous_completion* option
+
+This option controls the key mappings used to select the previous completion
+string. Invoking any of them repeatedly cycles backwards through the completion
+list.
+
+Note that one of the defaults is '<S-TAB>' which means Shift-TAB. That mapping
+will probably only work in GUI Vim (Gvim or MacVim) and not in plain console
+Vim because the terminal usually does not forward modifier key combinations to
+Vim.
+
+Default: "['<S-TAB>', '<Up>']"
+>
+ let g:ycm_key_list_previous_completion = ['<S-TAB>', '<Up>']
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_key_invoke_completion* option
+
+This option controls the key mapping used to invoke the completion menu for
+semantic completion. By default, semantic completion is trigged automatically
+after typing '.', '->' and '::' in insert mode (if semantic completion support
+has been compiled in). This key mapping can be used to trigger semantic
+completion anywhere. Useful for searching for top-level functions and classes.
+
+Console Vim (not Gvim or MacVim) passes '<Nul>' to Vim when the user types
+'<C-Space>' so YCM will make sure that '<Nul>' is used in the map command when
+you're editing in console Vim, and '<C-Space>' in GUI Vim. This means that you
+can just press '<C-Space>' in both console and GUI Vim and YCM will do the
+right thing.
+
+Setting this option to an empty string will make sure no mapping is created.
+
+Default: '<C-Space>'
+>
+ let g:ycm_key_invoke_completion = '<C-Space>'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_key_detailed_diagnostics* option
+
+This option controls the key mapping used to show the full diagnostic text when
+the user's cursor is on the line with the diagnostic. It basically calls
+|:YcmShowDetailedDiagnostic|.
+
+Setting this option to an empty string will make sure no mapping is created.
+
+Default: '<leader>d'
+>
+ let g:ycm_key_detailed_diagnostics = '<leader>d'
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf* option
+
+Normally, YCM searches for a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file for compilation flags
+(see the User Guide for more details on how this works). This option specifies
+a fallback path to a config file which is used if no '.ycm_extra_conf.py' is
+found.
+
+You can place such a global file anywhere in your filesystem.
+
+Default: "''"
+>
+ let g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf = ''
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_confirm_extra_conf* option
+
+When this option is set to '1' YCM will ask once per '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file
+if it is safe to be loaded. This is to prevent execution of malicious code from
+a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file you didn't write.
+
+To selectively get YCM to ask/not ask about loading certain
+'.ycm_extra_conf.py' files, see the |g:ycm_extra_conf_globlist| option.
+
+Default: '1'
+>
+ let g:ycm_confirm_extra_conf = 1
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_extra_conf_globlist* option
+
+This option is a list that may contain several globbing patterns. If a pattern
+starts with a '!' all '.ycm_extra_conf.py' files matching that pattern will be
+blacklisted, that is they won't be loaded and no confirmation dialog will be
+shown. If a pattern does not start with a '!' all files matching that pattern
+will be whitelisted. Note that this option is not used when confirmation is
+disabled using |g:ycm_confirm_extra_conf| and that items earlier in the list
+will take precedence over the later ones.
+
+Rules:
+
+- '*' matches everything
+- '?' matches any single character
+- '[seq]' matches any character in seq
+- '[!seq]' matches any char not in seq
+
+Example:
+>
+ let g:ycm_extra_conf_globlist = ['~/dev/*','!~/*']
+<
+- The first rule will match everything contained in the '~/dev' directory so
+ '.ycm_extra_conf.py' files from there will be loaded.
+
+- The second rule will match everything in the home directory so a
+ '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file from there won't be loaded.
+
+- As the first rule takes precedence everything in the home directory
+ excluding the '~/dev' directory will be blacklisted.
+
+NOTE: The glob pattern is first expanded with Python's 'os.path.expanduser()'
+and then resolved with 'os.path.abspath()' before being matched against the
+filename.
+
+Default: '[]'
+>
+ let g:ycm_extra_conf_globlist = []
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_filepath_completion_use_working_dir* option
+
+By default, YCM's filepath completion will interpret relative paths like '../'
+as being relative to the folder of the file of the currently active buffer.
+Setting this option will force YCM to always interpret relative paths as being
+relative to Vim's current working directory.
+
+Default: '0'
+>
+ let g:ycm_filepath_completion_use_working_dir = 0
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The *g:ycm_semantic_triggers* option
+
+This option controls the character-based triggers for the various semantic
+completion engines. The option holds a dictionary of key-values, where the keys
+are Vim's filetype strings delimited by commas and values are lists of strings,
+where the strings are the triggers.
+
+Setting key-value pairs on the dictionary _adds_ semantic triggers to the
+internal default set (listed below). You cannot remove the default triggers,
+only add new ones.
+
+A "trigger" is a sequence of one or more characters that trigger semantic
+completion when typed. For instance, C++ ('cpp' filetype) has '.' listed as a
+trigger. So when the user types 'foo.', the semantic engine will trigger and
+serve 'foo''s list of member functions and variables. Since C++ also has '->'
+listed as a trigger, the same thing would happen when the user typed 'foo->'.
+
+It's also possible to use a regular expression as a trigger. You have to prefix
+your trigger with 're!' to signify it's a regex trigger. For instance,
+'re!\w+\.' would only trigger after the '\w+\.' regex matches.
+
+NOTE: The regex syntax is **NOT** Vim's, it's Python's [53].

+FAQ ~
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *import-vim*
+I used to be able to 'import vim' in '.ycm_extra_conf.py', but now can't ~
+
+YCM was rewritten to use a client-server architecture where most of the logic
+is in the ycmd server [39]. So the magic 'vim' module you could have previously
+imported in your '.ycm_extra_conf.py' files doesn't exist anymore.
+
+To be fair, importing the magic 'vim' module in extra conf files was never
+supported in the first place; it only ever worked by accident and was never a
+part of the extra conf API.
+
+But fear not, you should be able to tweak your extra conf files to continue
+working by using the |g:ycm_extra_conf_vim_data| option. See the docs on that
+option for details.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*youcompleteme-on-very-rare-occasions-vim-crashes-when-i-tab-through-completion-menu*
+On very rare occasions Vim crashes when I tab through the completion menu ~
+
+That's a very rare Vim bug most users never encounter. It's fixed in Vim
+7.4.72. Update to that version (or above) to resolve the issue.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+I get *ImportError* exceptions that mention 'PyInit_ycm_core' or 'initycm_core'
+
+These errors are caused by building the YCM native libraries for Python 2 and
+trying to load them into a Python 3 process (or the other way around).
+
+For instance, if building for Python 2 but loading in Python 3:
+>
+ ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (PyInit_ycm_core)
+<
+If building for Python 3 but loading in Python 2:
+>
+ ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initycm_core)
+<
+Setting the |g:ycm_server_python_interpreter| option to force the use of a
+specific Python interpreter for 'ycmd' is usually the easiest way to solve the
+problem. Common values for that option are '/usr/bin/python' and
+'/usr/bin/python3'.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+I get a linker warning regarding *libpython* on Mac when compiling YCM
+
+If the warning is "ld: warning: path '/usr/lib/libpython2.7.dylib' following -L
+not a directory", then feel free to ignore it; it's caused by a limitation of
+CMake and is not an issue. Everything should still work fine.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*youcompleteme-i-get-weird-window-at-top-of-my-file-when-i-use-semantic-engine*
+I get a weird window at the top of my file when I use the semantic engine ~
+
+This is Vim's 'preview' window. Vim uses it to show you extra information about
+something if such information is available. YCM provides Vim with such extra
+information. For instance, when you select a function in the completion list,
+the 'preview' window will hold that function's prototype and the prototypes of
+any overloads of the function. It will stay there after you select the
+completion so that you can use the information about the parameters and their
+types to write the function call.
+
+If you would like this window to auto-close after you select a completion
+string, set the |g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_completion| option to '1'
+in your 'vimrc' file. Similarly, the
+|g:ycm_autoclose_preview_window_after_insertion| option can be set to close the
+'preview' window after leaving insert mode.
+
+If you don't want this window to ever show up, add 'set completeopt-=preview'
+to your 'vimrc'. Also make sure that the |g:ycm_add_preview_to_completeopt|
+option is set to '0'.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-it-appears-that-ycm-is-not-working*
+It appears that YCM is not working ~
+
+In Vim, run ':messages' and carefully read the output. YCM will echo messages
+to the message log if it encounters problems. It's likely you misconfigured
+something and YCM is complaining about it.
+
+Also, you may want to run the |:YcmDebugInfo| command; it will make YCM spew
+out various debugging information, including the ycmd [39] logfile paths and
+the compile flags for the current file if the file is a C-family language file
+and you have compiled in Clang support. Logfiles can be automatically opened in
+the editor using the |:YcmToggleLogs| command.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*youcompleteme-sometimes-it-takes-much-longer-to-get-semantic-completions-than-normal*
+Sometimes it takes much longer to get semantic completions than normal ~
+
+This means that libclang (which YCM uses for C-family semantic completion)
+failed to pre-compile your file's preamble. In other words, there was an error
+compiling some of the source code you pulled in through your header files. I
+suggest calling the |:YcmDiags| command to see what they were.
+
+Bottom line, if libclang can't pre-compile your file's preamble because there
+were errors in it, you're going to get slow completions because there's no AST
+cache.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-ycm-auto-inserts-completion-strings-i-dont-want*
+YCM auto-inserts completion strings I don't want! ~
+
+This means you probably have some mappings that interfere with YCM's internal
+ones. Make sure you don't have something mapped to '<C-p>', '<C-x>' or '<C-u>'
+(in insert mode).
+
+YCM _never_ selects something for you; it just shows you a menu and the user
+has to explicitly select something. If something is being selected
+automatically, this means there's a bug or a misconfiguration somewhere.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *E227:-mapping-already-exists-for-blah*
+I get a 'E227: mapping already exists for <blah>' error when I start Vim ~
+
+This means that YCM tried to set up a key mapping but failed because you
+already had something mapped to that key combination. The '<blah>' part of the
+message will tell you what was the key combination that failed.
+
+Look in the _Options_ section and see if any of the default mappings conflict
+with your own. Then change that option value to something else so that the
+conflict goes away.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *GLIBC_2.XX-not-found()*
+I get "'GLIBC_2.XX' not found (required by libclang.so)" when starting Vim ~
+
+Your system is too old for the precompiled binaries from llvm.org. Compile
+Clang on your machine and then link against the 'libclang.so' you just
+produced. See the full installation guide for help.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-im-trying-to-use-homebrew-vim-with-ycm-im-getting-segfaults*
+I'm trying to use a Homebrew Vim with YCM and I'm getting segfaults ~
+
+Something (I don't know what) is wrong with the way that Homebrew configures
+and builds Vim. I recommend using MacVim [18]. Even if you don't like the
+MacVim GUI, you can use the Vim binary that is inside the MacVim.app package
+(it's 'MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim') and get the Vim console experience.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+*youcompleteme-i-have-homebrew-python-and-or-macvim-cant-compile-sigabrt-when-starting*
+I have a Homebrew Python and/or MacVim; can't compile/SIGABRT when starting ~
+
+You should probably run 'brew rm python; brew install python' to get the latest
+fixes that should make YCM work with such a configuration. Also rebuild Macvim
+then. If you still get problems with this, see issue #18 [54] for suggestions.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-vim-segfaults-when-i-use-semantic-completer-in-ruby-files*
+Vim segfaults when I use the semantic completer in Ruby files ~
+
+This was caused by a Vim bug. Update your version of Vim (Vim 7.3.874 is known
+to work, earlier versions may also fix this issue).
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *LONG_BIT-definition-appears-wrong-for-platform*
+I get 'LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform' when compiling ~
+
+Look at the output of your CMake call. There should be a line in it like the
+following (with '.dylib' in place of '.so' on a Mac):
+>
+ -- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so (Required is at least version "2.5")
+<
+That would be the **correct** output. An example of **incorrect** output would
+be the following:
+>
+ -- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so (found suitable version "2.5.1", minimum required is "2.5")
+<
+Notice how there's an extra bit of output there, the 'found suitable version
+"<version>"' part, where '<version>' is not the same as the version of the
+dynamic library. In the example shown, the library is version 2.7 but the
+second string is version '2.5.1'.
+
+This means that CMake found one version of Python headers and a different
+version for the library. This is wrong. It can happen when you have multiple
+versions of Python installed on your machine.
+
+You should probably add the following flags to your cmake call (again, 'dylib'
+instead of 'so' on a Mac):
+>
+ -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python2.7 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so
+<
+This will force the paths to the Python include directory and the Python
+library to use. You may need to set these flags to something else, but you need
+to make sure you use the same version of Python that your Vim binary is built
+against, which is highly likely to be the system's default Python.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *libpython2.7.a-...-relocation-R_X86_64_32*
+I get 'libpython2.7.a [...] relocation R_X86_64_32' when compiling ~
+
+The error is usually encountered when compiling YCM on Centos or RHEL. The full
+error looks something like the following:
+>
+ /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a(abstract.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
+<
+It's possible to get a slightly different error that's similar to the one
+above. Here's the problem and how you solve it:
+
+Your 'libpython2.7.a' was not compiled with '-fPIC' so it can't be linked into
+'ycm_core.so'. Use the '-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=' CMake flag to point it to a '.so'
+version of libpython on your machine (for instance,
+'-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so'). Naturally, this means you'll have
+to go through the full installation guide by hand.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *Vim:-Caught-deadly-signal-SEGV*
+I get 'Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV' on Vim startup ~
+
+This can happen on some Linux distros. If you encounter this situation, run Vim
+under 'gdb'. You'll probably see something like this in the output when Vim
+crashes:
+>
+ undefined symbol: clang_CompileCommands_dispose
+<
+This means that Vim is trying to load a 'libclang.so' that is too old. You need
+at least a 3.8 libclang. Just go through the installation guide and make sure
+you are using a correct 'libclang.so'. We recommend downloading prebuilt
+binaries from llvm.org.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *Fatal-Python-error:-PyThreadState_Get:-no-current-thread*
+I get 'Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread' on startup ~
+
+This is caused by linking a static version of |libpython| into ycmd's
+'ycm_core.so'. This leads to multiple copies of the python interpreter loaded
+when 'python' loads 'ycmd_core.so' and this messes up python's global state.
+The details aren't important.
+
+The solution is that the version of Python linked and run against must be built
+with either '--enable-shared' or '--enable-framework' (on OS X). This is
+achieved as follows (NOTE: for Mac, replace '--enable-shared' with '--enable-
+framework'):
+
+- When building python from source: './configure --enable-shared {options}'
+- When building python from pyenv: 'PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared"
+ pyenv install {version}'
+
+===============================================================================
+*install.py* says python must be compiled with '--enable-framework'. Wat?
+
+See the previous answer for how to ensure your python is built to support
+dynamic modules.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-ycm-does-not-read-identifiers-from-my-tags-files*
+YCM does not read identifiers from my tags files ~
+
+First, put 'let g:ycm_collect_identifiers_from_tags_files = 1' in your vimrc.
+
+Make sure you are using Exuberant Ctags [55] to produce your tags files since
+the only supported tag format is the Exuberant Ctags format [52]. The format
+from "plain" ctags is NOT supported. The output of 'ctags --version' should
+list "Exuberant Ctags".
+
+Ctags needs to be called with the '--fields=+l' (that's a lowercase 'L', not a
+one) option because YCM needs the 'language:<lang>' field in the tags output.
+
+NOTE: Exuberant Ctags [55] by default sets language tag for '*.h' files as
+'C++'. If you have C (not C++) project, consider giving parameter '--
+langmap=c:.c.h' to ctags to see tags from '*.h' files.
+
+NOTE: Mac OS X comes with "plain" ctags installed by default. 'brew install
+ctags' will get you the Exuberant Ctags version.
+
+Also make sure that your Vim 'tags' option is set correctly. See ":h 'tags'"
+for details. If you want to see which tag files YCM will read for a given
+buffer, run ':echo tagfiles()' with the relevant buffer active. Note that that
+function will only list tag files that already exist.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *CTRL-sub-U*
+'CTRL-U' in insert mode does not work ~
+
+YCM keeps you in a 'completefunc' completion mode when you're typing in insert
+mode and Vim disables '<C-U>' in completion mode as a "feature." Sadly there's
+nothing I can do about this.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-ycm-conflicts-with-ultisnips-tab-key-usage*
+YCM conflicts with UltiSnips TAB key usage ~
+
+YCM comes with support for UltiSnips (snippet suggestions in the popup menu),
+but you'll have to change the UltiSnips mappings. See ':h UltiSnips-triggers'
+in Vim for details. You'll probably want to change some/all of the following
+options:
+>
+ g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger
+ g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger
+ g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-why-isnt-ycm-just-written-in-plain-vimscript-ffs*
+Why isn't YCM just written in plain VimScript, FFS? ~
+
+Because of the identifier completion engine and subsequence-based filtering.
+Let's say you have _many_ dozens of files open in a single Vim instance (I
+often do); the identifier-based engine then needs to store thousands (if not
+tens of thousands) of identifiers in its internal data-structures. When the
+user types, YCM needs to perform subsequence-based filtering on _all_ of those
+identifiers (every single one!) in less than 10 milliseconds.
+
+I'm sorry, but that level of performance is just plain impossible to achieve
+with VimScript. I've tried, and the language is just too slow. No, you can't
+get acceptable performance even if you limit yourself to just the identifiers
+in the current file and simple prefix-based filtering.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-why-does-ycm-demand-such-recent-version-of-vim*
+Why does YCM demand such a recent version of Vim? ~
+
+During YCM's development several show-stopper bugs were encountered in Vim.
+Those needed to be fixed upstream (and were). A few months after those bugs
+were fixed, Vim trunk landed the 'pyeval()' function which improved YCM
+performance even more since less time was spent serializing and deserializing
+data between Vim and the embedded Python interpreter. A few critical bugfixes
+for 'pyeval()' landed in Vim 7.3.584 (and a few commits before that).
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-i-get-annoying-messages-in-vims-status-area-when-i-type*
+I get annoying messages in Vim's status area when I type ~
+
+If you're referring to the 'User defined completion <bla bla> back at original'
+and similar, then just update to Vim 7.4.314 (or later) and they'll go away.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *vim-sub-autoclose*
+Nasty bugs happen if I have the 'vim-autoclose' plugin installed ~
+
+Use the delimitMate [56] plugin instead. It does the same thing without
+conflicting with YCM.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-is-there-sort-of-ycm-mailing-list-i-have-questions*
+Is there some sort of YCM mailing list? I have questions ~
+
+If you have questions about the plugin or need help, please use the ycm-users
+[57] mailing list, _don't_ create issues on the tracker. The tracker is for bug
+reports and feature requests.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-i-get-an-internal-compiler-error-when-installing*
+I get an internal compiler error when installing ~
+
+This can be a problem on virtual servers with limited memory. A possible
+solution is to add more swap memory. A more practical solution would be to
+force the build script to run only one compile job at a time. You can do this
+by setting the 'YCM_CORES' environment variable to '1'. Example:
+>
+ YCM_CORES=1 ./install.py --clang-completer
+<
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *Ctrl-sub-C*
+I get weird errors when I press 'Ctrl-C' in Vim ~
+
+_Never_ use 'Ctrl-C' in Vim.
+
+Using 'Ctrl-C' to exit insert mode in Vim is a bad idea. The main issue here is
+that 'Ctrl-C' in Vim doesn't just leave insert mode, it leaves it without
+triggering 'InsertLeave' autocommands (as per Vim docs). This is a bad idea and
+is likely to break many other things and not just YCM.
+
+Bottom line, if you use 'Ctrl-C' to exit insert mode in Vim, you're gonna have
+a bad time.
+
+If pressing '<esc>' is too annoying (agreed, it is), we suggest mapping it to
+something more convenient. On a QWERTY keyboard, a good pick for the '<esc>'
+map is 'inoremap jk <Esc>'. This is right on the home row, it's an incredibly
+rare digraph in English and if you ever need to type those two chars in
+sequence in insert mode, you just type 'j', then wait 500ms, then type 'k'.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-why-did-ycm-stop-using-syntastic-for-diagnostics-display*
+Why did YCM stop using Syntastic for diagnostics display? ~
+
+Previously, YCM would send any diagnostics it would receive from the libclang
+semantic engine to Syntastic for display as signs in the gutter, red squiggles
+etc. Today, YCM uses its own code to do that.
+
+Using Syntastic for this was always a kludge. Syntastic assumes its "checker"
+plugins behave in a certain way; those assumptions have never fit YCM. For
+instance, YCM continuously recompiles your code in the background for C-family
+languages and tries to push new diagnostics to the user as fast as possible,
+even while the user types.
+
+Syntastic assumes that a checker only runs on file save ("active" mode) or even
+less frequently, when the user explicitly invokes it ("passive" mode). This
+mismatch in assumptions causes performance problems since Syntastic code isn't
+optimized for this use case of constant diagnostic refreshing.
+
+Poor support for this use case also led to crash bugs in Vim caused by
+Syntastic-Vim interactions (issue #593 [58]) and other problems, like random
+Vim flickering. Attempts were made to resolve these issues in Syntastic, but
+ultimately some of them failed (for various reasons).
+
+Implementing diagnostic display code directly in YCM resolves all of these
+problems. Performance also improved substantially since the relevant code is
+now written in Python instead of VimScript (which is very slow) and is tailored
+only for YCM's use-cases. We were also able to introduce new features in this
+area since we're now not limited to the Syntastic checker API.
+
+We've tried to implement this in the most backwards-compatible way possible;
+YCM options that control diagnostic display fall back to Syntastic options that
+control the same concepts if the user has those set.
+
+Still, some Syntastic-specific configuration you might have had might not be
+supported by the new code. Please file issues on the tracker in such cases; if
+we find the request to be reasonable, we'll find a way to address it.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *youcompleteme-completion-doesnt-work-with-c-standard-library-headers*
+Completion doesn't work with the C++ standard library headers ~
+
+This is caused by an issue with libclang that only affects some operating
+systems. Compiling with 'clang' the binary will use the correct default header
+search paths but compiling with 'libclang.so' (which YCM uses) does not.
+
+Mac OS X is normally affected, but there's a workaround in YCM for that
+specific OS. If you're not running that OS but still have the same problem,
+continue reading.
+
+The workaround is to call 'echo | clang -v -E -x c++ -' and look at the paths
+under the '#include <...> search starts here:' heading. You should take those
+paths, prepend '-isystem' to each individual path and append them all to the
+list of flags you return from your 'FlagsForFile' function in your
+'.ycm_extra_conf.py' file.
+
+See issue #303 [59] for details.

+
+Take a look at the instructions for using the JavaScript completer.

+ *youcompleteme-i-hear-that-ycm-only-supports-python-2-is-that-true*
+I hear that YCM only supports Python 2, is that true? ~
+
+**No.** Both the Vim client and the ycmd server [39] run on Python 2 or 3. If
+you work on a Python 3 project, you may need to set |g:ycm_python_binary_path|
+to the Python interpreter you use for your project to get completions for that

+On Windows I get "E887: Sorry, this command is disabled, the Python's site ~

+If you are running vim on Windows with Python 2.7.11, this is likely caused by
+a bug [61]. Follow this workaround [62] or use a different version (Python
+2.7.9 does not suffer from the bug).

+ *youcompleteme-i-cant-complete-python-packages-in-virtual-environment.*
+I can't complete python packages in a virtual environment. ~
+
+This means that the Python used to run JediHTTP [7] is not the Python of the
+virtual environment you're in. To resolve this you either set
+|g:ycm_python_binary_path| to the absolute path of the Python binary in your
+virtual environment or since virtual environment will put that Python
+executable first in your PATH when the virtual environment is active then if
+you set |g:ycm_python_binary_path| to just "'python'" it will be found as the
+first Python and used to run JediHTTP [7].
