VimCompletesMe, my first Vim plugin for Tab Completion

I made this because I was using SuperTab and noticed that it uses a lot more code when I wanted something really simple: for Vim to intelligently choose what to autocomplete for me. Maybe it has more features but to me, it tried to do too much in a single plugin. So my goal here was to made a dead-simple, minimalistic Tab completion plugin. It does this with less than 60 lines of source code, compared to around 800 for Supertab. I hope you like it as much as I do.

VimCompletesMe, my first Vim plugin for Tab Completion launched on March 23, 2014 with 6 votes and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

    While using iTerm2 while busy working today, I once again felt frustrated by having too many tabs and losing the overall perspective of what tasks were in progress. So, I used v0 + Opus 4.5 to envision an ideal Terminal tab management UI in my mind, to demonstrate the best way for me to manage tabs in the terminal. What do you think?

    Hey HN, My cofounder and I have gotten tired of CC ignoring our markdown files so we spent 4 days and built a plugin that automatically steers CC based on our previous sessions. The problem is usually post plan-mode. What we've tried: Heavily use plan mode (works great) CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md Local context folder (upkeep is a pain) Cursor rules (for Cursor) claude-mem (OSS) -> does session continuity, not steering We use fusion search to find your CC steering corrections. - user prompt embeddings + bm25 - correction embeddings + bm25 - time decay - target query embeddings -…

  • I built an interactive course that helps you learn Vim faster2022 · vimified.com · ▲344

    Hey show HN! This course came about as a result of wanting a more targeted way of practicing using new vim commands I wanted to pick up, rather than just trying to use them in my regular code editing sessions. When I would try to use new commands during code editing, my productivity took a hit because I was trying to do two different things at once: thinking about code vs practicing my muscle memory. So, I made a separate environment for practicing, one that had an interactive editor, progress tracking, and achievement goals to let me see which areas I should work on, like speed and…

  • Talanoa▲345

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
