Even easier than &lt;Tab&gt; is to have words completed automatically. There are some drawbacks to this, but the {{script|id=73|text=word_complete.vim}} plugin works pretty well.

Even easier than <Tab> is to have words completed automatically. There are some drawbacks to this, but the word_complete.vim plugin works pretty well.


To use the dictionary, add 'k' to your ':set complete'. For language keywords (tags), also add ']'. See :help 'complete'.
