I'm still in the process of writing API docs[1], but I did write a pretty thorough example client[2] that demonstrates how to talk to ycmd. It echos out all the chatter between the…

Author of YCM/ycmd here; I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!

Author of YCM here; supporting emacs is one of the big reasons why ycmd is now vim-agnostic and targeting other editors. I don't use emacs and never have, but plenty of people I re…

That's perfectly fine. To each his own! :)

> So I cloned the repo, ran install.sh and got prompted to run the git submodule checkout for jedi the first time I opened a python file. Yep, I added that check to better support …

"Super-quick" was intended to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, although compared to the Full Installation Guide (it's in the docs), trust me, the "super-quick" installation really is supe…

I'm the main YCM developer. Most complaints here are about the installation procedure. I tried to make it as easy as possible, but the root of the problem is that you _have to_ com…

Better Objective-C triggering support (the issue you linked to) is coming soon.

If your going to use Snipmate, you may want to remap the completion selection key from TAB to something else (if you want to use TAB for Snipmate). See the docs for details.

Having both python2 and python3 enabled in your Vim can lead to nasty results. I remember Vim used to crash if you source a python2 file into it (thus starting the python2 interpre…

To each his own, I personally love it. :) There's been a few requests for keeping the semantic completion engine but turning off the identifier-based engine (this is the "always-on…

True, but I try to recommend a best practice (I never said Vundle was required, in fact the full Installation Guide mentions Pathogen as an option).

I haven't tried, but I've done everything possible to keep both the code and the build system cross-platform. I've written OSS cross-platform C++ code using Boost before (with CMak…

It doesn't really depend on MacVim, that's just a binary distribution of Vim for Macs that is proven to work. Vim from Homebrew doesn't work though, something is wrong with the way…

Then it should work with YCM in your console as well (whether it works depends on the terminal emulator). A map is a map.

ESC will do it. But you shouldn't really need to. You just continue typing and the menu goes away and pops back as needed. It does its best to be unobtrusive.

You can still get such a helper window, just not in a convenient place. Vim's 'preview' window is there to show such information (docs, arg names and types), but it pops up at the …

ACP would be great if it weren't slow and dev-dead. Also doesn't fuzzy-match.

That's still a window that's not right next to the completion menu. If I wanted to use a separate window far away from the menu, I'd use the 'preview' window that was designed for …

Shift-tab cycles the other way. Both the tab and the shift-tab mappings are configurable. Note that shift-tab won't work in the console because the console won't pass that key comb…
