vim as python IDE

huzo11 · 2018-12-14 02:43:20

Hello all,
Hope you are all having a great day. So I wanted to use vim as my python IDE, but rather than the syntax highlighting I wish it to have features such as autocompletion and suggestions. I currently use gvim. When I looked it up on the internet, there were various suggestions but I want to know your suggestions which is compatible in Arch. And as a bonus question, what about other languages such as C/Java?

Thanks!

You can install vim-jedi for python, it is the same completion engine that powers python completions in several other text editors.

For other languages, you might want to take a look at YouCompleteMe (which also uses the jedi autocompletion engine for its own python support, actually).

YouCompleteMe seems great! For python, the autocompletion is marvelous. I have to dig deeper into how the autocomplete functions in other languages though because seemingly it is not automated.
