Help, Advice, Support ~

Looking for help, advice or support? Having problems getting YCM to work?

First carefully read the installation instructions for your OS. We recommend
you use the supplied 'install.py' - the "full" installation guide is for rare,
advanced use cases and most users should use 'install.py'.

If the server isn't starting and you're getting a "YouCompleteMe unavailable"
error, check the Troubleshooting [7] guide.

Next check the User Guide section on the semantic completer that you are using.
For C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++/CUDA, you _must_ read this section.

Finally, check the FAQ [8].

If, after reading the installation and user guides, and checking the FAQ,
you're still having trouble, check the contacts section below for how to get in
touch.

Please do **NOT** go to #vim on Freenode for support. Please contact the
YouCompleteMe maintainers directly using the contact details below.

Intro ~

YouCompleteMe is a fast, as-you-type, fuzzy-search code completion,
comprehension and refactoring engine for Vim [9].

It has several completion engines built in and supports any protocol-compliant
Language Server, so can work with practically any language. YouCompleteMe
contains:

- an identifier-based engine that works with every programming language,
- a powerful clangd [10]-based engine that provides native semantic code
  completion for C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++/CUDA (from now on referred
  to as "the C-family languages"),
- a Jedi [11]-based completion engine for Python 2 and 3,
- an OmniSharp-Roslyn [12]-based completion engine for C#,
- a Gopls [13]-based completion engine for Go,
- a TSServer [14]-based completion engine for JavaScript and TypeScript,
- a rust-analyzer [15]-based completion engine for Rust,
- a jdt.ls [16]-based completion engine for Java.
- a generic Language Server Protocol implementation for any language
- 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 completion demo (see reference [17])

Here's an explanation of what happens in the last 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 [18] 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 [19]) if you are editing a C-family file. As the completer engine
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.

**And that's not all...**

YCM might be the only Vim completion engine with the correct Unicode support.
Though we do assume UTF-8 everywhere.

  Image: YouCompleteMe GIF unicode demo (see reference [20])

YCM also provides semantic IDE-like features in a number of languages,
including:

- displaying signature help (argument hints) when entering the arguments to a
  function call (Vim only)
- finding declarations, definitions, usages, etc. of identifiers, and an
  interactive symbol finder
- displaying type information for classes, variables, functions etc.,
- displaying documentation for methods, members, etc. in the preview window,
  or in a popup next to the cursor (Vim only)
- fixing common coding errors, like missing semi-colons, typos, etc.,
- semantic renaming of variables across files,
- formatting code,
- removing unused imports, sorting imports, etc.

For example, here's a demo of signature help:

  Image: Signature Help Early Demo (see reference [21])

Below we can see YCM being able to do a few things:

- Retrieve references across files
- Go to declaration/definition
- Expand 'auto' in C++
- Fix some common errors, and provide refactorings, with |FixIt|
- Not shown in the GIF is |GoToImplementation| and |GoToType| for servers
  that support it.

  Image: YouCompleteMe GIF subcommands demo (see reference [22])

And here's some documentation being shown in a hover popup, automatically and
manually:

  Image: hover demo (see reference [23])

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)

                                         *youcompleteme-supported-vim-versions*
Supported Vim Versions ~

Our policy is to support the Vim version that's in the latest LTS of Ubuntu.
That's currently Ubuntu 20.04 which contains 'vim-nox' at 'v8.1.2269'.

Vim must have a working Python 3 runtime.

For Neovim users, our policy is to require the latest released version.
Currently, Neovim 0.5.0 is required. Please note that some features are not
available in Neovim, and Neovim is not officially supported.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       *youcompleteme-supported-python-runtime*
Supported Python runtime ~

YCM has two components: A server and a client. Both the server and client
require Python 3.8 or later 3.x release.

For the Vim client, Vim must be, compiled with '--enable-shared' (or
'--enable-framework' on macOS). You can check if this is working with ':py3
import sys; print( sys.version)'. It should say something like '3.8.2 (...)'.

For Neovim, you must have a python 3.8 runtime and the Neovim python
extensions. See Neovim's ':help provider-python' for how to set that up.

For the server, you must run the 'install.py' script with a python 3.8 (or
later) runtime. Anaconda etc. are not supported. YCM will remember the runtime
you used to run 'install.py' and will use that when launching the server, so if
you usually use anaconda, then make sure to use the full path to a real
cpython3, e.g. '/usr/bin/python3 install.py --all' etc.

Our policy is to support the python3 version that's availble in the latest
Ubuntu LTS (similar to our Vim version policy). We don't increase the python
runtime version without a reason, though. Typically, we do this when the
current python version wer're using goes out of support. At that time we will
typically pick a version that will be supported for a number of years.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            *youcompleteme-supported-compilers*
Supported Compilers ~

In order to provide the best possible performance and stability, ycmd has
updated its code to C++17. This requires a version bump of the minimum
supported compilers. The new requirements are:

===============================
| _Compiler_ | _Current Min_  |
===============================
| GCC        | 8              |
-------------------------------
| Clang      | 7              |
-------------------------------
| MSVC       | 15.7 (VS 2017) |
-------------------------------


YCM requires CMake 3.13 or greater. If your CMake is too old, you may be able
to simply 'pip install --user cmake' to get a really new version.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              *youcompleteme-individual-completer-requirements*
Individual completer requirements ~

When enabling language support for a particular language, there may be runtime
requirements, such as needing a very recent Java Development Kit for Java
support. In general, YCM is not in control of the required versions for the
downstream compilers, though we do our best to signal where we know them.

macOS ~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          *youcompleteme-quick-start-installing-all-completers*
Quick start, installing all completers ~

- Install YCM plugin via Vundle [25]
- Install CMake, MacVim and Python 3; Note that the pre-installed _macOS
  system_ Vim is not supported (due to it having broken Python integration).
>
  $ brew install cmake python go nodejs
<
- Install mono from Mono Project [26] (NOTE: on Intel Macs you can also 'brew
  install mono'. On arm Macs, you may require Rosetta)

- For java support you must install a JDK, one way to do this is with
  Homebrew:
>
  $ brew install java
  $ sudo ln -sfn $(brew --prefix java)/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk.jdk
<
- Pre-installed macOS _system_ Vim does not support Python 3. So you need to
  install either a Vim that supports Python 3 OR MacVim [27] with Homebrew
  [28]:

- Option 1: Installing a Vim that supports Python 3
>
  brew install vim
<
- Option 2: Installing MacVim [27]
>
  brew install macvim
<
- Compile YCM.

- For Intel and arm64 Macs, the bundled libclang/clangd work:
>
  cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
  python3 install.py --all
<
- If you have troubles with finding system frameworks or C++ standard
  library, try using the homebrew llvm:
>
  brew install llvm
  cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
  python3 install.py --system-libclang --all
<
  And edit your vimrc to add the following line to use the Homebrew llvm's
  clangd:
>
  " Use homebrew's clangd
  let g:ycm_clangd_binary_path = trim(system('brew --prefix llvm')).'/bin/clangd'
<

Explanation for the quick start ~

These instructions (using 'install.py') are the quickest way to install
YouCompleteMe, however they may not work for everyone. If the following
instructions don't work for you, check out the full installation guide.

A supported Vim version with Python 3 is required. MacVim [27] is a good
option, even if you only use the terminal. YCM won't work with the
pre-installed Vim from Apple as its Python support is broken. If you don't
already use a Vim that supports Python 3 or MacVim [27], install it with
Homebrew [28]. Install CMake as well:
>
  brew install vim cmake
<
OR
>
  brew install macvim cmake
<
Install YouCompleteMe with Vundle [25].

**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')

Compiling YCM **with** semantic support for C-family languages through
**clangd**:
>
  cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
  ./install.py --clangd-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 by downloading the Mono macOS package [29] and add
  '--cs-completer' when calling 'install.py'.

- Go support: install Go [30] and add '--go-completer' when calling
  'install.py'.

- JavaScript and TypeScript support: install Node.js and npm [31] and add
  '--ts-completer' when calling 'install.py'.

- Rust support: add '--rust-completer' when calling 'install.py'.

- Java support: install JDK 17 [32] and add '--java-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', 'node' and 'npm'
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.

Explanation for the quick start ~

These instructions (using 'install.py') are the quickest way to install
YouCompleteMe, however they may not work for everyone. If the following
instructions don't work for you, check out the full installation guide.

Make sure you have a supported version of Vim with Python 3 support, and a
supported compiler. The latest LTS of Ubuntu is the minimum platform for simple
installation. For earlier releases or other distributions, you may have to do
some work to acquire the dependencies.

If your Vim version is too old, you may need to compile Vim from source [33]
(don't worry, it's easy).

Install YouCompleteMe with Vundle [25].

**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.

Install development tools, CMake, and Python headers:

- Fedora-like distributions:
>
  sudo dnf install cmake gcc-c++ make python3-devel
<
- Ubuntu LTS:
>
  sudo apt install build-essential cmake3 python3-dev
<

>
  cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
  python3 install.py
<
The following additional language support options are available:

- C# support: install Mono [34] and add '--cs-completer' when calling
  'install.py'.

- Go support: install Go [30] and add '--go-completer' when calling
  'install.py'.

- JavaScript and TypeScript support: install Node.js and npm [31] and add

Explanation for the quick start ~

These instructions (using 'install.py') are the quickest way to install
YouCompleteMe, however they may not work for everyone. If the following
instructions don't work for you, check out the full installation guide.

**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 a supported Vim version with Python 3 support. You can check
the version and which Python is supported by typing ':version' inside Vim. Look
at the features included: '+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 installers of
32-bit and 64-bit Vim with Python 3 support [37] are available.

Add the following line to your vimrc [36] if not already present.:
>
  set encoding=utf-8
<
This option is required by YCM. Note that it does not prevent you from editing
a file in another encoding than UTF-8. You can do that by specifying the
'|++enc|' argument to the ':e' command.

Install YouCompleteMe with Vundle [25].

**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 3 [38]. 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. Additionally, the version
  of Python you install must match up exactly with the version of Python that
  Vim is looking for. Type ':version' and look at the bottom of the page at
  the list of compiler flags. Look for flags that look similar to
  '-DDYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL=\"python36.dll\"'. This indicates that Vim is
  looking for Python 3.6. You'll need one or the other installed, matching
  the version number exactly.

- CMake [39]. Add CMake executable to the PATH environment variable.

- Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 [35]. During setup, select _C++ build
  tools_ in _Workloads_.

Compiling YCM **with** semantic support for C-family languages through
**clangd**:
>
  cd %USERPROFILE%/vimfiles/bundle/YouCompleteMe
  python install.py --clangd-completer
<
Compiling YCM **without** semantic support for C-family languages:
>
  cd %USERPROFILE%/vimfiles/bundle/YouCompleteMe
  python install.py
<
The following additional language support options are available:

- C# support: add '--cs-completer' when calling 'install.py'. Be sure that
  the build utility 'msbuild' is in your PATH [40].

- Go support: install Go [30] and add '--go-completer' when calling
  'install.py'.

- JavaScript and TypeScript support: install Node.js and npm [31] and add
  '--ts-completer' when calling 'install.py'.

- Rust support: add '--rust-completer' when calling 'install.py'.

- Java support: install JDK 17 [32] and add '--java-completer' when calling
  'install.py'.

  python install.py --all
<
You can specify the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version using the '--msvc'
option. YCM officially supports MSVC 15 (2017), MSVC 16 (Visual Studio 2019)
and MSVC 17 (Visual Studio 17 2022).

That's it. You're done. Refer to the _User Guide_ section on how to use YCM.

                                                  *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" and "smart-diacritic [42]" 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). On top of that, a letter with no diacritic marks will match that letter
with or without marks:

---------------------------------------------
| _matches_ | _foo_ | _fôo_ | _fOo_ | _fÔo_ |
---------------------------------------------
|   _foo_   | ✔️    | ✔️    | ✔️    | ✔️    |
---------------------------------------------
|   _fôo_   | ❌     | ✔️    | ❌     | ✔️    |
---------------------------------------------
|   _fOo_   | ❌     | ❌     | ✔️    | ✔️    |
---------------------------------------------
|   _fÔo_   | ❌     | ❌     | ❌     | ✔️    |
---------------------------------------------


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 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 are libclang-based and
clangd-based completers that provide 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 [43] 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-signature-help*
Signature Help ~

Valid signatures are displayed in a second popup menu and the current signature
is highlighted along with the current argument.

Signature help is triggered in insert mode automatically when
|g:ycm_auto_trigger| is enabled and is not supported when it is not enabled.

The signatures popup is hidden when there are no matching signatures or when
you leave insert mode. There is no key binding to clear the popup.

For more details on this feature and a few demos, check out the PR that
proposed it [44].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                         *youcompleteme-dismiss-signature-help*
Dismiss signature help ~

The signature help popup sometimes gets in the way. You can toggle its
visibility with a mapping. YCM provides the "Plug" mapping
'<Plug>(YCMToggleSignatureHelp)' for this.

For example, to hide/show the signature help popup by pressing Ctrl+l in insert
mode: 'imap <silent> <C-l> <Plug>(YCMToggleSignatureHelp)'.

_NOTE_: No default mapping is provided because insert mappings are very
difficult to create without breaking or overriding some existing functionality.
Ctrl-l is not a suggestion, just an example.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                          *youcompleteme-semantic-highlighting*
Semantic highlighting ~

**NOTE**: This feature is highly experimental and offered in the hope that it
is useful. It shall not be considered stable; if you find issues with it, feel
free to report them however.

Semantic highlighting is the process where the buffer text is coloured
according to the underlying semantic type of the word, rather than classic
syntax highlighting based on regular expressions. This can be powerful
additional data that we can process very quickly.

This feature is only supported in Vim.

For example, here is a function with classic highlighting:

  Image: highliting-classic (see reference [45])

And here is the same function with semantic highlighting:

  Image: highliting-semantic (see reference [46])

As you can see, the function calls, macros, etc. are correctly identified.

This can be enabled globally with 'let g:ycm_enable_semantic_highlighting=1' or
per buffer, by setting 'b:ycm_enable_semantic_highlighting'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   *youcompleteme-customising-highlight-groups*
Customising the highlight groups ~

YCM uses text properties (see ':help text-prop-intro') for semantic
highlighting. In order to customise the coloring, you can define the text
properties that are used.

If you define a text property named 'YCM_HL_<token type>', then it will be used
in place of the defaults. The '<token type>' is defined as the Language Server
Protocol semantic token type, defined in the LSP Spec [47].

Some servers also use custom values. In this case, YCM prints a warning
including the token type name that you can customise.

For example, to render 'parameter' tokens using the 'Normal' highlight group,
you can do this:
>
  call prop_type_add( 'YCM_HL_parameter', { 'highlight': 'Normal' } )
<
More generally, this pattern can be useful for customising the groups:
>
  let MY_YCM_HIGHLIGHT_GROUP = {
        \   'typeParameter': 'PreProc',
        \   'parameter': 'Normal',
        \   'variable': 'Normal',
        \   'property': 'Normal',
        \   'enumMember': 'Normal',
        \   'event': 'Special',
        \   'member': 'Normal',
        \   'method': 'Normal',
        \   'class': 'Special',
        \   'namespace': 'Special',
        \ }
  
  for tokenType in keys( MY_YCM_HIGHLIGHT_GROUP )
    call prop_type_add( 'YCM_HL_' . tokenType,
                      \ { 'highlight': MY_YCM_HIGHLIGHT_GROUP[ tokenType ] } )
  endfor
<

                                                    *youcompleteme-inlay-hints*
Inlay hints ~

**NOTE**: Highly experimental feature, requiring Vim 9.0.214 or later (not
supported in NeoVim).

When 'g:ycm_enable_inlay_hints' (globally) or 'b:ycm_enable_inlay_hints' (for a
specific buffer) is set to '1', then YCM will insert inlay hints as supported
by the language semantic engine.

An inlay hint is text rendered on the screen which is not part of the buffer
and is often used to mark up the type or name of arguments, parameters, etc.
which help the developer understand the semantics of the code.

Here are some examples:

- C

  Image: c-inlay (see reference [48])

- TypeScript

  Image: ts-inlay (see reference [49])

- Go

  Image: go-inlay (see reference [50])

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                               *youcompleteme-highlight-groups*
Highlight groups ~

By default, YCM renders the inlay hints with the 'NonText' highlight group. To
override this, define the 'YcmInlayHint' highlight yourself, e.g. in your
'.vimrc':
>
  hi link YcmInlayHint Comment
<
Similar to semantic highlighting above, you can override specific highlighting
for different inlay hint types by defining text properties named after the kind
of inlay hint, for example:
>
  call prop_type_add( 'YCM_INLAY_Type', #{ highlight: 'Comment' } )
<
The list of inlay hint kinds can be found in 'python/ycm/inlay_hints.py'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                        *youcompleteme-options*
Options ~

- 'g:ycm_enable_inlay_hints' or 'b:ycm_enable_inlay_hints' - enable/disable
  globally or for local buffer

- 'g:ycm_clear_inlay_hints_in_insert_mode' - set to '1' to remove all inlay
  hints when entering insert mode and reinstate them when leaving insert mode

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       *youcompleteme-toggling*
Toggling ~

Inlay hints can add a lot of text to the screen and may be distracting. You can
toggle them on/off instantly, by mapping something to
'<Plug>(YCMToggleInlayHints)', for example:
>
  nnoremap <silent> <localleader>h <Plug>(YCMToggleInlayHints)
<
No default mapping is provided for this due to the personal nature of mappings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                    *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 ~

**NOTE:** YCM originally used the 'libclang' based engine for C-family, but
users should migrate to clangd, as it provides more features and better
performance. Users who rely on 'override_filename' in their
'.ycm_extra_conf.py' will need to stay on the old 'libclang' engine.
Instructions on how to stay on the old engine are available on the wiki [51].

Some of the features of clangd:

- **Project wide indexing**: Clangd has both dynamic and static index
  support. The dynamic index stores up-to-date symbols coming from any files
  you are currently editing, whereas static index contains project-wide
  symbol information. This symbol information is used for code completion and
  code navigation. Whereas libclang is limited to the current translation
  unit(TU).

- **Code navigation**: Clangd provides all the GoTo requests libclang
  provides and it improves those using the above mentioned index information
  to contain project-wide information rather than just the current TU.

- **Rename**: Clangd can perform semantic rename operations on the current
  file, whereas libclang doesn't support such functionality.

- **Code Completion**: Clangd can perform code completions at a lower latency
  than libclang; also, it has information about all the symbols in your
  project so it can suggest items outside your current TU and also provides
  proper '#include' insertions for those items.

- **Signature help**: Clangd provides signature help so that you can see the
  names and types of arguments when calling functions.

- **Format Code**: Clangd provides code formatting either for the selected
  lines or the whole file, whereas libclang doesn't have such functionality.

- **Performance**: Clangd has faster re-parse and code completion times
  compared to libclang.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation ~

On supported architectures, the 'install.py' script will download a suitable
clangd ('--clangd-completer') or libclang ('--clang-completer') for you.
Supported architectures are:

- Linux glibc >= 2.27 (Intel, armv7-a, aarch64) - built on ubuntu 18.04
- MacOS >=10.15 (Intel, arm64)
- For Intel, compatibility per clang.llvm.org downloads
- For arm64, macOS 10.15+
- Windows (Intel) - compatibility per clang.llvm.org downloads

**_clangd_**:

Typically, clangd is installed by the YCM installer (either with '--all' or
with '--clangd-completer'). This downloads a pre-built 'clangd' binary for your
architecture. If your OS or architecture is not supported or too old, you can
install a compatible 'clangd' and use |g:ycm_clangd_binary_path| to point to
it.

**_libclang_**:

'libclang' can be enabled also with '--all' or '--clang-completer'. As with
'clangd', YCM will try and download a version of 'libclang' that is suitable
for your environment, but again if your environment can't be supported, you can
build or acquire 'libclang' for yourself and specify it when building, as:
>
  $ EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS='-DPATH_TO_LLVM_ROOT=/path/to/your/llvm' ./install.py --clang-completer --system-libclang
<
Please note that if using custom 'clangd' or 'libclang' it _must_ match the
version that YCM requires. Currently YCM requires **_clang 15.0.1_**.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                  *youcompleteme-compile-flags*
Compile flags ~

In order to perform semantic analysis such as code completion, |GoTo| and
diagnostics, YouCompleteMe uses 'clangd', which makes use of clang compiler,
sometimes also referred to as LLVM. Like any compiler, clang also requires a
set of compile flags in order to parse your code. Simply put: If clang can't
parse your code, YouCompleteMe can't provide semantic analysis.

There are 2 methods which can be used to provide compile flags to clang:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           *youcompleteme-option-1-use-compilation-database-52*
Option 1: Use a compilation database [52] ~

The easiest way to get YCM to compile your code is to use a compilation
database. A compilation database is usually generated by your build system
(e.g. 'CMake') and contains the compiler invocation for each compilation unit
in your project.

For information on how to generate a compilation database, see the clang
documentation [52]. In short:

- If using CMake, add '-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON' when configuring
  (or add 'set( CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON )' to 'CMakeLists.txt') and
  copy or symlink the generated database to the root of your project.
- If using Ninja, check out the 'compdb' tool ('-t compdb') in its docs [53].
- If using GNU make, check out compiledb [54] or Bear [55].
- For other build systems, check out '.ycm_extra_conf.py' below.

If no '.ycm_extra_conf.py' is found, YouCompleteMe automatically tries to load
a compilation database if there is one.

YCM looks for a file named 'compile_commands.json' in the directory of the
opened file or in any directory above it in the hierarchy (recursively); when
the file is found before a local '.ycm_extra_conf.py', YouCompleteMe stops
searching the directories and lets clangd take over and handle the flags.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                *youcompleteme-option-2-provide-flags-manually*
Option 2: Provide the flags manually ~

If you don't have a compilation database, or aren't able to generate one, you
have to tell YouCompleteMe how to compile your code some other way.

Every C-family project is different. It is not possible for YCM to guess what
compiler flags to supply for your project. Fortunately, YCM provides a
mechanism for you to generate the flags for a particular file with _arbitrary
complexity_. This is achieved by requiring you to provide a Python module which
implements a trivial function which, given the file name as argument, returns a
list of compiler flags to use to compile that file.

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 'Settings'
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 configuration
file with the |g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf| option, 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
|g:ycm_confirm_extra_conf| and |g:ycm_extra_conf_globlist| options
respectively.

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.

**NOTE**: It is highly recommended to include '-x <language>' flag to libclang.
This is so that the correct language is detected, particularly for header
files. Common values are '-x c' for C, '-x c++' for C++, '-x objc' for
Objective-C, and '-x cuda' for CUDA.

To give you an impression, if your C++ project is trivial, and your usual
compilation command is: 'g++ -Wall -Wextra -Werror -o FILE.o FILE.cc', then the
following '.ycm_extra_conf.py' is enough to get semantic analysis from
YouCompleteMe:
>
  def Settings( **kwargs ):
    return {
      'flags': [ '-x', 'c++', '-Wall', '-Wextra', '-Werror' ],
    }
<
As you can see from the trivial example, YCM calls the 'Settings' method which
returns a dictionary with a single element "'flags'". This element is a 'list'
of compiler flags to pass to libclang for the current file. The absolute path
of that file is accessible under the 'filename' key of the 'kwargs' dictionary.
That's it! This is actually enough for most projects, but for complex projects
it is not uncommon to integrate directly with an existing build system using
the full power of the Python language.

For a more elaborate example, see ycmd's own '.ycm_extra_conf.py' [56]. 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.

You could also consider using YCM-Generator [57] to generate the
'ycm_extra_conf.py' file.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      *youcompleteme-errors-during-compilation*
Errors during compilation ~

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-java-semantic-completion*
Java Semantic Completion ~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                               *youcompleteme-java-quick-start*
Java quick Start ~

1. Ensure that you have enabled the Java completer. See the installation
   guide for details.

2. Create a project file (gradle or maven) file in the root directory of
   your Java project, by following the instructions below.

3. (Optional) Configure the LSP server. The jdt.ls configuration options
   [58] can be found in their codebase.

4. If you previously used Eclim or Syntastic for Java, disable them for
   Java.

5. Edit a Java file from your project.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                             *youcompleteme-java-project-files*
Java Project Files ~

In order to provide semantic analysis, the Java completion engine requires
knowledge of your project structure. In particular it needs to know the class
path to use, when compiling your code. Fortunately jdt.ls [16] supports eclipse
project files [59], maven projects [60] and gradle projects [61].

**NOTE:** Our recommendation is to use either maven or gradle projects.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   *youcompleteme-diagnostic-display-syntastic*
Diagnostic display - Syntastic ~

The native support for Java includes YCM's native realtime diagnostics display.
This can conflict with other diagnostics plugins like Syntastic, so when
enabling Java support, please **manually disable Syntastic Java diagnostics**.

Add the following to your 'vimrc':
>
  let g:syntastic_java_checkers = []
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       *youcompleteme-diagnostic-display-eclim*
Diagnostic display - Eclim ~

The native support for Java includes YCM's native realtime diagnostics display.
This can conflict with other diagnostics plugins like Eclim, so when enabling
Java support, please **manually disable Eclim Java diagnostics**.

Add the following to your 'vimrc':
>
  let g:EclimFileTypeValidate = 0
<
**NOTE**: We recommend disabling Eclim entirely when editing Java with YCM's
native Java support. This can be done temporarily with ':EclimDisable'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                               *youcompleteme-eclipse-projects*
Eclipse Projects ~

Eclipse style projects require two files: .project [59] and .classpath [62].

If your project already has these files due to previously being set up within
eclipse, then no setup is required. jdt.ls [16] should load the project just
fine (it's basically eclipse after all).

However, if not, it is possible (easy in fact) to craft them manually, though
it is not recommended. You're better off using gradle or maven (see below).

A simple eclipse style project example [63] can be found in the ycmd test
directory. Normally all that is required is to copy these files to the root of
your project and to edit the '.classpath' to add additional libraries, such as:
>
  <classpathentry kind="lib" path="/path/to/external/jar" />
  <classpathentry kind="lib" path="/path/to/external/java/source" />
<
It may also be necessary to change the directory in which your source files are
located (paths are relative to the .project file itself):
>
  <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes" path="path/to/src/" />
<
**NOTE**: The eclipse project and classpath files are not a public interface
and it is highly recommended to use Maven or Gradle project definitions if you
don't already use eclipse to manage your projects.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 *youcompleteme-maven-projects*
Maven Projects ~

Maven needs a file named pom.xml [60] in the root of the project. Once again a
simple pom.xml [64] can be found in ycmd source.

The format of pom.xml [60] files is way beyond the scope of this document, but
we do recommend using the various tools that can generate them for you, if
you're not familiar with them already.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                *youcompleteme-gradle-projects*
Gradle Projects ~

Gradle projects require a build.gradle [61]. Again, there is a trivial example
in ycmd's tests [65].

The format of build.gradle [61] files is way beyond the scope of this document,
but we do recommend using the various tools that can generate them for you, if
you're not familiar with them already.

Some users have experienced issues with their jdt.ls when using the Groovy
language for their build.gradle. As such, try using Kotlin [66] instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                *youcompleteme-troubleshooting*
Troubleshooting ~

If you're not getting completions or diagnostics, check the server health:

- The Java completion engine takes a while to start up and parse your
  project. You should be able to see its progress in the command line, and
  |:YcmDebugInfo|. Ensure that the following lines are present:
>
  --   jdt.ls Java Language Server running
  --   jdt.ls Java Language Server Startup Status: Ready
<
- If the above lines don't appear after a few minutes, check the jdt.ls and
  ycmd log files using |:YcmToggleLogs|. The jdt.ls log file is called '.log'
  (for some reason).

If you get a message about "classpath is incomplete", then make sure you have
correctly configured the project files.

If you get messages about unresolved imports, then make sure you have correctly
configured the project files, in particular check that the classpath is set
correctly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                          *youcompleteme-c-semantic-completion*
C# Semantic Completion ~

YCM relies on OmniSharp-Roslyn [12] to provide completion and code navigation.
OmniSharp-Roslyn needs a solution file for a C# project and there are two ways
of letting YCM know about your solution files.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        *youcompleteme-automatically-discovered-solution-files*
Automatically discovered solution files ~

YCM will scan all parent directories of the file currently being edited and
look for file with '.sln' extension.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              *youcompleteme-manually-specified-solution-files*
Manually specified solution files ~

If YCM loads '.ycm_extra_conf.py' which contains 'CSharpSolutionFile' function,
YCM will try to use that to determine the solution file. This is useful when
one wants to override the default behaviour and specify a solution file that is
not in any of the parent directories of the currently edited file. Example:
>
  def CSharpSolutionFile( filepath ):
    # `filepath` is the path of the file user is editing
    return '/path/to/solution/file' # Can be relative to the `.ycm_extra_conf.py`
<
If the path returned by 'CSharpSolutionFile' is not an actual file, YCM will
fall back to the other way of finding the file.

                                     *youcompleteme-python-semantic-completion*
Python Semantic Completion ~

YCM relies on the Jedi [11] engine to provide completion and code navigation.
By default, it will pick the version of Python running the ycmd server [43] and
use its 'sys.path'. While this is fine for simple projects, this needs to be
configurable when working with virtual environments or in a project with
third-party packages. The next sections explain how to do that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              *youcompleteme-working-with-virtual-environments*
Working with virtual environments ~

A common practice when working on a Python project is to install its
dependencies in a virtual environment and develop the project inside that
environment. To support this, YCM needs to know the interpreter path of the
virtual environment. You can specify it by creating a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file
at the root of your project with the following contents:
>
  def Settings( **kwargs ):
    return {
      'interpreter_path': '/path/to/virtual/environment/python'
    }
<
Here, '/path/to/virtual/environment/python' is the path to the Python used by
the virtual environment you are working in. Typically, the executable can be
found in the 'Scripts' folder of the virtual environment directory on Windows
and in the 'bin' folder on other platforms.

If you don't like having to create a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file at the root of
your project and would prefer to specify the interpreter path with a Vim
option, read the Configuring through Vim options section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              *youcompleteme-working-with-third-party-packages*
Working with third-party packages ~

Another common practice is to put the dependencies directly into the project
and add their paths to 'sys.path' at runtime in order to import them. YCM needs
to be told about this path manipulation to support those dependencies. This can
be done by creating a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file at the root of the project.
This file must define a 'Settings( **kwargs )' function returning a dictionary
with the list of paths to prepend to 'sys.path' under the 'sys_path' key. For
instance, the following '.ycm_extra_conf.py' adds the paths
'/path/to/some/third_party/package' and '/path/to/another/third_party/package'
at the start of 'sys.path':
>
  def Settings( **kwargs ):
    return {
      'sys_path': [
        '/path/to/some/third_party/package',
        '/path/to/another/third_party/package'
      ]
    }
<
If you would rather prepend paths to 'sys.path' with a Vim option, read the
Configuring through Vim options section.

If you need further control on how to add paths to 'sys.path', you should
define the 'PythonSysPath( **kwargs )' function in the '.ycm_extra_conf.py'
file. Its keyword arguments are 'sys_path' which contains the default
'sys.path', and 'interpreter_path' which is the path to the Python interpreter.
Here's a trivial example that insert the '/path/to/third_party/package' path at
the second position of 'sys.path':
>
  def PythonSysPath( **kwargs ):
    sys_path = kwargs[ 'sys_path' ]
    sys_path.insert( 1, '/path/to/third_party/package' )
    return sys_path
<
A more advanced example can be found in YCM's own '.ycm_extra_conf.py' [67].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                *youcompleteme-configuring-through-vim-options*
Configuring through Vim options ~

You may find inconvenient to have to create a '.ycm_extra_conf.py' file at the
root of each one of your projects in order to set the path to the Python
interpreter and/or add paths to 'sys.path' and would prefer to be able to
configure those through Vim options. Don't worry, this is possible by using the
|g:ycm_extra_conf_vim_data| option and creating a global extra configuration
file. Let's take an example. Suppose that you want to set the interpreter path
with the 'g:ycm_python_interpreter_path' option and prepend paths to 'sys.path'
with the 'g:ycm_python_sys_path' option. Suppose also that you want to name the
global extra configuration file 'global_extra_conf.py' and that you want to put
it in your HOME folder. You should then add the following lines to your vimrc:
>
  let g:ycm_python_interpreter_path = ''
  let g:ycm_python_sys_path = []
  let g:ycm_extra_conf_vim_data = [
    \  'g:ycm_python_interpreter_path',
    \  'g:ycm_python_sys_path'
    \]
  let g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf = '~/global_extra_conf.py'
<
Then, create the '~/global_extra_conf.py' file with the following contents:
>
  def Settings( **kwargs ):
    client_data = kwargs[ 'client_data' ]
    return {
      'interpreter_path': client_data[ 'g:ycm_python_interpreter_path' ],
      'sys_path': client_data[ 'g:ycm_python_sys_path' ]
    }
<
That's it. You are done. Note that you don't need to restart the server when
setting one of the options. YCM will automatically pick the new values.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       *youcompleteme-rust-semantic-completion*
Rust Semantic Completion ~

YCM uses rust-analyzer [15] for Rust semantic completion.

NOTE: Previously, YCM used rls [68] for rust completion. This is no longer
supported, as the Rust community has decided on rust-analyzer [15] as the
future of Rust tooling.

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 '--rust-completer' flag; see the _Installation_ section for
details). The install script takes care of installing the Rust source code
[69], so no configuration is necessary.

'rust-analyzer' supports a myriad of options. These are configured using LSP
configuration, and are documented here [70].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                         *youcompleteme-go-semantic-completion*
Go Semantic Completion ~

Completions and GoTo commands should work out of the box (provided that you
built YCM with the '--go-completer' flag; see the _Installation_ section for
details). The server only works for projects with the "canonical" layout.

'gopls' also has a handful of undocumented options for which the source code
[71] is the only reference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      *youcompleteme-javascript-typescript-semantic-completion*
JavaScript and TypeScript Semantic Completion ~

**NOTE:** YCM originally used the Tern [72] engine for JavaScript but due to
Tern [72] not being maintained anymore by its main author and the TSServer [14]
engine offering more features, YCM is moving to TSServer [14]. This won't
affect you if you were already using Tern [72] but you are encouraged to do the
switch by deleting the 'third_party/ycmd/third_party/tern_runtime/node_modules'
directory in YCM folder. If you are a new user but still want to use Tern [72],
you should pass the '--js-completer' option to the 'install.py' script during
installation. Further instructions on how to setup YCM with Tern [72] are
available on the wiki [73].

All JavaScript and TypeScript features are provided by the TSServer [14]
engine, which is included in the TypeScript SDK. To enable these features,
install Node.js and npm [31] and call the 'install.py' script with the
'--ts-completer' flag.

TSServer [14] relies on the 'jsconfig.json' file [74] for JavaScript and the
'tsconfig.json' file [75] for TypeScript to analyze your project. Ensure the
file exists at the root of your project.

To get diagnostics in JavaScript, set the 'checkJs' option to 'true' in your
'jsconfig.json' file:
>
  {
      "compilerOptions": {
          "checkJs": true
      }
  }
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        *youcompleteme-semantic-completion-for-other-languages*
Semantic Completion for Other Languages ~

C-family, C#, Go, Java, Python, Rust, and JavaScript/TypeScript languages are
supported natively by YouCompleteMe using the Clang [76], OmniSharp-Roslyn
[12], Gopls [13], jdt.ls [16], Jedi [11], rust-analyzer [15], and TSServer [14]
engines, respectively. Check the installation section for instructions to
enable these features if desired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               *youcompleteme-plugging-an-arbitrary-lsp-server*
Plugging an arbitrary LSP server ~

Similar to other LSP clients, YCM can use an arbitrary LSP server with the help
of |g:ycm_language_server| option. An example of a value of this option would
be:
>
  let g:ycm_language_server = 
    \ [ 
    \   {
    \     'name': 'yaml',
    \     'cmdline': [ '/path/to/yaml/server/yaml-language-server', '--stdio' ],
    \     'filetypes': [ 'yaml' ]
    \   },
    \   {
    \     'name': 'rust',
    \     'cmdline': [ 'ra_lsp_server' ],
    \     'filetypes': [ 'rust' ],
    \     'project_root_files': [ 'Cargo.toml' ]
    \   },
    \   {
    \     'name': 'godot',
    \     'filetypes': [ 'gdscript' ],
    \     'port': 6008,
    \     'project_root_files': [ 'project.godot' ]
    \    }
    \ ]
<
Each dictionary contains the following keys:

- 'name' (string, mandatory): When configuring a LSP server the value of the
  'name' key will be used as the "kwargs[ 'language' ]". Can be anything you
  like.

- 'filetypes' (list of string, mandatory): List of Vim filetypes this server
  should be used for.

- 'project_root_files' (list of string, optional): List of filenames to
  search for when trying to determine the project root.

- 'cmdline' (list of string, optional): If supplied, the server is started
  with this command line (each list element is a command line word).
  Typically, the server should be started with STDIO communication. If not
  supplied, 'port' must be supplied.

- 'port' (number, optional): If supplied, ycmd will connect to the server at
  'localhost:<port>' using TCP (remote servers are not supported).

- 'capabilities' (dict, optional): If supplied, this is a dictionary that is
  merged with the LSP client capabilities reported to the language server.
  This can be used to enable or disable certain features, such as the support
  for configuration sections ('workspace/configuration').

See the LSP Examples [77] project for more examples of configuring the likes of
PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, and D.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                              *youcompleteme-lsp-configuration*
LSP Configuration ~

Many LSP servers allow some level of user configuration. YCM enables this with
the help of '.ycm_extra_conf.py' files. Here's an example of jdt.ls user
examples of configuring the likes of PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, D, and many, many more.
>
  def Settings( **kwargs ):
    if kwargs[ 'language' ] == 'java':
      return {
        'ls': {
          'java.format.onType.enabled': True
        }
      }
<
The 'ls' key tells YCM that the dictionary should be passed to the LSP server.
For each of the LSP server's configuration you should look up the respective
server's documentation.

Some servers request settings from arbitrary 'sections' of configuration. There
is no concept of configuration sections in Vim, so you can specify an
additional 'config_sections' dictionary which maps section to a dictionary of
config required by the server. For example:
>
  def Settings( **kwargs ):
    if kwargs[ 'language' ] == 'java':
      return {
        'ls': {
          'java.format.onType.enabled': True
        },
        'config_sections': {
          'some section': {
            'some option': 'some value'
          }
      }
<
The sections and options/values are complete server-specific and rarely well
documented.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         *youcompleteme-using-omnifunc-for-semantic-completion*
Using 'omnifunc' for semantic completion ~

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 rudimentary omnifuncs for various
languages like Ruby, PHP, etc. It depends on the language.

You can get a stellar omnifunc for Ruby with Eclim [78]. 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' 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 [79].

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 [79].

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 the C-family, C#, Go, Java,
JavaScript, Rust and TypeScript languages. 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 [80] (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 the
|g:ycm_enable_diagnostic_signs| option is set. If you want highlighted lines
but no signs in the Vim gutter, set the 'signcolumn' option to 'no' in your
vimrc:
>
  set signcolumn=no
<
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-symbol-search*
Symbol Search ~

**_This feature requires Vim and is not supported in Neovim_**

YCM provides a way to search for and jump to a symbol in the current project or
document when using supported languages.

You can search for symbols in the current workspace when the 'GoToSymbol'
request is supported and the current document when |GoToDocumentOutline| is
supported.

Here's a quick demo:

  Image: asciicast [81]

As you can see, you can type and YCM filters down the list as you type. The
current set of matches are displayed in a popup window in the centre of the
screen and you can select an entry with the keyboard, to jump to that position.
Any matches are then added to the quickfix list.

To enable:

- 'nmap <something> <Plug>(YCMFindSymbolInWorkspace)'
- 'nmap <something> <Plug>(YCMFindSymbolInDocument)'

e.g.

- 'nmap <leader>yfw <Plug>(YCMFindSymbolInWorkspace)'
- 'nmap <leader>yfd <Plug>(YCMFindSymbolInDocument)'

When searching, YCM opens a prompt buffer at the top of the screen for the
input, and puts you in insert mode. This means that you can hit '<Esc>' to go
into normal mode and use any other input commands that are supported in prompt
buffers. As you type characters, the search is updated.

Intially, results are queried from all open filetypes. You can hit '<C-f>' to
switch to just the current filetype while the popup is open.

While the popup is open, the following keys are intercepted:

- '<C-j>', '<Down>', '<C-n>', '<Tab>' - select the next item
- '<C-k>', '<Up>', '<C-p>', '<S-Tab>' - select the previous item
- '<PageUp>', '<kPageUp>' - jump up one screenful of items
- '<PageDown>', '<kPageDown>' - jump down one screenful of items
- '<Home>', '<kHome>' - jump to first item
- '<End>', '<kEnd>' - jump to last item
- '<CR>' - jump to the selected item
- '<C-c>' cancel/dismiss the popup
- '<C-f>' - toggle results from all file types or just the current filetype

The search is also cancelled if you leave the prompt buffer window at any time,
so you can use window commands '<C-w>...' for example.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                  *youcompleteme-closing-popup*
Closing the popup ~

**_NOTE_**: Pressing '<Esc>' does not close the popup - you must use 'Ctrl-c'
for that, or use a window command (e.g. '<Ctrl-w>j') or the mouse to leave the
prompt buffer window.

===============================================================================
                                                       *youcompleteme-commands*
Commands ~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *:YcmRestartServer* command

If the ycmd completion server [43] 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 absence 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.

An options argument can be passed. If the argument is 'popup' the diagnostic
text will be displayed in a popup at cursor position.

If you prefer the detailed diagnostic to always be shown in a popup, then 'let
g:ycm_show_detailed_diag_in_popup=1'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 presents the list of logfiles created by YCM, the ycmd server
[43], and the semantic engine server for the current filetype, if any. One of
these logfiles can be opened in the editor (or closed if already open) by
entering the corresponding number or by clicking on it with the mouse.
Additionally, this command can take the logfile names as arguments. Use the
'<TAB>' key (or any other key defined by the 'wildchar' option) to complete the
arguments or to cycle through them (depending on the value of the 'wildmode'
option). Each logfile given as an argument is directly opened (or closed if
already open) in the editor. Only for debugging purposes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

This command accepts a range that can either be specified through a selection
in one of Vim's visual modes (see ':h visual-use') or on the command line. For
instance, ':2,5YcmCompleter' will apply the command from line 2 to line 5. This
is useful for the |Format| subcommand.

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-family language 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 were 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, cuda'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GoToAlternateFile* subcommand

Jump to the associated file, as defined by the language server. Typically this
will jump you to the associated header file for a c or c++ translation unit.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda' (clangd only)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GoToDeclaration* subcommand

Looks up the symbol under the cursor and jumps to its declaration.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, cs, go, java, javascript,
python, rust, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, cuda, cs, go, java, 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-family
languages, 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, cuda, cs, go, java, javascript,
python, rust, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, cuda'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                      *GoToSymbol-symbol-query*
The 'GoToSymbol <symbol query>' subcommand ~

Finds the definition of all symbols matching a specified string. Note that this
does not use any sort of smart/fuzzy matching. However, an interactive symbol
search is also available.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, cs, java, javascript,
python, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, java, javascript, python,
typescript, rust'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, go, java, rust, typescript, javascript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GoToType* subcommand

Looks up the symbol under the cursor and jumps to the definition of its type
e.g. if the symbol is an object, go to the definition of its class.

Supported in filetypes: 'go, java, javascript, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GoToDocumentOutline* subcommand

Provides a list of symbols in current document, in the quickfix list. See also
interactive symbol search.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, go, java, rust'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GoToCallers* and 'GoToCallees' subcommands

Populate the quickfix list with the callers, or callees respectively, of the
function associated with the current cursor position. The semantics of this
differ depending on the filetype and language server.

Only supported for LSP servers which provide the 'callHierarchyProvider'
capability.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  *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:** Causes re-parsing of the current translation unit.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, java, javascript, go,
python, typescript, rust'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GetTypeImprecise* subcommand

WARNING: This command trades correctness for speed!

Same as the |GetType| 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 type. 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, cuda'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, cuda'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, cuda, cs, go, java, javascript,
python, typescript, rust'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *GetDocImprecise* subcommand

WARNING: This command trades correctness for speed!

Same as the |GetDoc| 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 docs. 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, cuda'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           *youcompleteme-refactoring-commands*
Refactoring 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 diagnostics,
or perform refactoring, on the current line or selection. Where multiple
suggestions are available (such as when there are multiple ways to resolve a
given warning, or where multiple diagnostics are reported for the current line,
or multiple refactoring tweaks are available), the options are presented and
one can be selected.

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. A small
demo presenting how diagnostics can be fixed with clangd:

  Image: YcmCompleter-FixIt-OnDiagnostic (see reference [83])

Completers (LSPs) may also provide refactoring tweaks, which may be available
even when no diagnostic is presented for the current line. These include
function extraction, variable extraction, 'switch' population, constructor
generation, ... The tweaks work for a selection as well. Consult your LSP for
available refactorings. A demonstration of refactoring capabilities with
clangd:

  Image: YouCompleter-FixIt-Refactoring (see reference [84])

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 enabled,
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.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, cs, go, java, javascript,
rust, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                      *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: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, java, javascript, python,
typescript, rust, cs'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            *youcompleteme-python-refactorings*
Python refactorings ~

The following additional commands are supported for python:

- 'RefactorInline'
- 'RefactorExtractVariable'
- 'RefactorExtractFunction'

See the jedi docs [85] for what they do.

Supported in filetypes: 'python'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            *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 populated with the locations of all modifications. This can be used to
review all automatic changes made by using ':copen'. 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *Format* subcommand

This command formats the whole buffer or some part of it according to the value
of the Vim options 'shiftwidth' and 'expandtab' (see ":h 'sw'" and ':h et'
respectively). To format a specific part of your document, you can either
select it in one of Vim's visual modes (see ':h visual-use') and run the
command or directly enter the range on the command line, e.g. ':2,5YcmCompleter
Format' to format it from line 2 to line 5.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, java, javascript, go,
typescript, rust, cs'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *OrganizeImports* subcommand

This command removes unused imports and sorts imports in the current file. It
can also group imports from the same module in TypeScript and resolves imports
in Java.

Supported in filetypes: 'java, javascript, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                         *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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                          *ExecuteCommand-args*
The 'ExecuteCommand <args>' subcommand ~

Some LSP completers (currently only Java completers) support executing server
specific commands. Consult the jdt.ls [16] documentation to find out what
commands are supported and which arguments are expected.

The support for 'ExecuteCommand' was implemented to support plugins like
Vimspector [86] to debug java, but isn't limited to that specific use case.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *RestartServer* subcommand

Restarts the downstream semantic engine server for those semantic engines that
work as separate servers that YCM talks to.

Supported in filetypes: 'c, cpp, objc, objcpp, cuda, cs, go, java, javascript,
rust, typescript'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *ReloadSolution* subcommand

Instruct the Omnisharp-Roslyn 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-Roslyn 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 [87] 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#GetCommandResponse()*
The 'youcompleteme#GetCommandResponse( ... )' function ~

Run a completer subcommand and return the result as a string. This can be
useful for example to display the 'GetGoc' output in a popup window, e.g.:
>
  let s:ycm_hover_popup = -1
  function s:Hover()
    let response = youcompleteme#GetCommandResponse( 'GetDoc' )
    if response == ''
      return
    endif
  
    call popup_hide( s:ycm_hover_popup )
    let s:ycm_hover_popup = popup_atcursor( balloon_split( response ), {} )
  endfunction
  
  " CursorHold triggers in normal mode after a delay
  autocmd CursorHold * call s:Hover()
  " Or, if you prefer, a mapping:
  nnoremap <silent> <leader>D :call <SID>Hover()<CR>
<
**NOTE**: This is only an example, for real hover support, see
|g:ycm_auto_hover|.

If the completer subcommand result is not a string (for example, it's a FixIt
or a Location), or if the completer subcommand raises an error, an empty string
is returned, so that calling code does not have to check for complex error
conditions.

The arguments to the function are the same as the arguments to the
|:YcmCompleter| ex command, e.g. the name of the subcommand, followed by any
additional subcommand arguments. As with the 'YcmCompleter' command, if the
first argument is 'ft=<filetype>' the request is targeted at the specified
filetype completer. This is an advanced usage and not necessary in most cases.

NOTE: The request is run synchronously and blocks Vim until the response is
received, so we do not recommend running this as part of an autocommand that
triggers frequently.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      *youcompleteme#GetCommandResponseAsync()*
The 'youcompleteme#GetCommandResponseAsync( callback, ... )' function ~

This works exactly like 'youcompleteme#GetCommandResponse', except that instead
of returning the result, you supply a 'callback' argument. This argument must
be a 'FuncRef' to a function taking a single argument 'response'. This callback
will be called with the command response at some point later, or immediately.

As with |youcompleteme#GetCommandResponse()|, this function will call the
callback with "''" (an empty string) if the request is not sent, or if there
was some sort of error.

Here's an example that's similar to the one above:
>
  let s:ycm_hover_popup = -1
  function! s:ShowDataPopup( response ) abort
    if response == ''
      return
    endif
  
    call popup_hide( s:ycm_hover_popup )
    let s:ycm_hover_popup = popup_atcursor( balloon_split( response ), {} )
  endfunction
  
  function! s:GetData() abort
    call youcompleteme#GetCommandResponseAsync(
      \ function( 's:ShowDataPopup' ),
      \ 'GetDoc' )
  endfunction
  
  autocommand CursorHold * call s:GetData()
<
Again, see |g:ycm_auto_hover| for proper hover support.

**NOTE**: The callback may be called immediately, in the stack frame that
called this function.

**NOTE**: Only one command request can be outstanding at once. Attempting to
request a second responses while the first is outstanding will result in the
second callback being immediately called with "''".

===============================================================================
                                                   *youcompleteme-autocommands*
Autocommands ~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *YcmLocationOpened* autocommand

This 'User' autocommand is fired when YCM opens the location list window in
response to the 'YcmDiags' command. By default, the location list window is
opened to the bottom of the current window and its height is set to fit all
entries. This behavior can be overridden by using the |YcmLocationOpened|
autocommand which is triggered while the cursor is in the location list window.
For instance:
>
  function! s:CustomizeYcmLocationWindow()
    " Move the window to the top of the screen.
    wincmd K
    " Set the window height to 5.
    5wincmd _
    " Switch back to working window.
    wincmd p
  endfunction
  
  autocmd User YcmLocationOpened call s:CustomizeYcmLocationWindow()
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 which is triggered while the cursor is in the
quickfix window. For instance:
>
  function! s:CustomizeYcmQuickFixWindow()
    " Move the window to the top of the screen.
    wincmd K
    " Set the window height to 5.
    5wincmd _
  endfunction
  
  autocmd User YcmQuickFixOpened call s:CustomizeYcmQuickFixWindow()
<
===============================================================================
Options ~

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 [36] 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 [36] you have to
restart ycmd [43] with the |:YcmRestartServer| command 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' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_min_num_identifier_candidate_chars = 0
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_max_num_candidates* option

This option controls the maximum number of semantic completion suggestions
shown in the completion menu. This only applies to suggestions from semantic
completion engines; see the 'g:ycm_max_identifier_candidates' option to limit
the number of suggestions from the identifier-based engine.

A special value of '0' means there is no limit.

**NOTE:** Setting this option to '0' or to a value greater than '100' is not
recommended as it will slow down completion when there are a very large number
of suggestions.

Default: '50' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_max_num_candidates = 50
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_max_num_candidates_to_detail* option

Some completion engines require completion candidates to be 'resolved' in order
to get detailed info such as inline documentation, method signatures etc. This
information is displayed by YCM in the preview window, or if 'completeopt'
contains 'popup', in the info popup next to the completion menu.

By default, if the info popup is in use, and there are more than 10 candidates,
YCM will defer resolving candidates until they are selected in the completion
menu. Otherwise, YCM must resolve the details upfront, which can be costly.

If neither 'popup' nor 'preview' are in 'completeopt', YCM disables resolving
altogether as the information would not be displayed.

This setting can be used to override these defaults and controls the number of
completion candidates that should be resolved upfront. Typically users do not
need to change this, as YCM will work out an appropriate value based on your
'completeopt' and |g:ycm_add_preview_to_completeopt| settings. However, you may
override this calculation by setting this value to a number:

- '-1' - Resolve all candidates up front
- '0' - Never resolve any candidates up front.
- '> 0' - Resolve up to this many candidates up front. If the number of
  candidates is greater than this value, no candidates are resolved.

In the later two cases, if 'completeopt' contains 'popup', then candidates are
resolved on demand asynchronously.

Default:

- '0' if neither 'popup' nor 'preview' are in 'completeopt'.
- '10' if 'popup' is in completeopt.
- '-1' if 'preview' is in completeopt.

Example:
>
  let g:ycm_max_num_candidates_to_detail = 0
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_max_num_identifier_candidates* option

This option controls the maximum number of completion suggestions from the
identifier-based engine shown in the completion menu.

A special value of '0' means there is no limit.

**NOTE:** Setting this option to '0' or to a value greater than '100' is not
recommended as it will slow down completion when there are a very large number
of suggestions.

Default: '10' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_max_num_identifier_candidates = 10
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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'.

When |g:ycm_auto_trigger| is '0', YCM sets the 'completefunc', so that you can
manually trigger normal completion using 'C-x C-u'.

If you want to map something else to trigger completion, such as 'C-d``, then
you can map it to'(YCMComplete)`. For example:
>
  let g:ycm_auto_trigger = 0
  imap <c-d> <plug>(YCMComplete)
<
NOTE: It's not possible to map one of the keys in
|g:ycm_key_list_select_completion| (or similar) to '<plug>(YCMComplete)'. In
practice that means that you can't use '<Tab>' for this.

Default: '1' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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}

**Completion in buffers with no filetype**

There is one exception to the above rule. YCM supports completion in buffers
with no filetype set, but this must be _explicitly_ whitelisted. To identify
buffers with no filetype, we use the 'ycm_nofiletype' pseudo-filetype. To
enable completion in buffers with no filetype, set:
>
  let g:ycm_filetype_whitelist = {
    \ '*': 1,
    \ 'ycm_nofiletype': 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.

Default: '[see next line]'
>
  let g:ycm_filetype_blacklist = {
        \ 'tagbar': 1,
        \ 'notes': 1,
        \ 'markdown': 1,
        \ 'netrw': 1,
        \ 'unite': 1,
        \ 'text': 1,
        \ 'vimwiki': 1,
        \ 'pandoc': 1,
        \ 'infolog': 1,
        \ 'leaderf': 1,
        \ 'mail': 1
        \}
<
In addition, 'ycm_nofiletype' (representing buffers with no filetype set) is
blacklisted if 'ycm_nofiletype' is not _explicitly_ whitelisted (using
|g:ycm_filetype_whitelist|).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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]' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_filetype_specific_completion_to_disable = {
        \ 'gitcommit': 1
        \}
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_filepath_blacklist* option

This option controls for which Vim filetypes (see ':h filetype') should
filepath completion be disabled. 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. Use this key if you want to
completely disable filepath completion:
>
  let g:ycm_filepath_blacklist = {'*': 1}
<
You can get the filetype of the current file in Vim with ':set ft?'.

Default: '[see next line]' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_filepath_blacklist = {
        \ 'html': 1,
        \ 'jsx': 1,
        \ 'xml': 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', 'objcpp', and 'cuda' 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 to 1, 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.

If you have a Vim that supports virtual text, you can set this option to the
string 'virtual-text', and the diagnostic will be displayed inline with the
text, right aligned in the window and wrapping to the next line if there is not
enough space, for example:

  Image: Virtual text diagnostic demo (see reference [88])

  Image: Virtual text diagnostic demo (see reference [89])

**NOTE**: It's _strongly_ recommended to also set
|g:ycm_update_diagnostics_in_insert_mode| to '0' when using 'virtual-text' for
diagnostics. This is due to the increased amount distraction provided by
drawing diagnostics next to your input position.

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'

Valid values:

- '0' - disabled
- '1' - echo diagnostic to the command area
- "'virtual-text'" - display the dignostic to the right of the line in the
  window using virtual text
>
  let g:ycm_echo_current_diagnostic = 1
  " Or, when you have Vim supporting virtual text
  let g:ycm_echo_current_diagnostic = 'virtual-text'
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_auto_hover* option

This option controls whether or not YCM shows documentation in a popup at the
cursor location after a short delay. Only supported in Vim.

When this option is set to "'CursorHold'", the popup is displayed on the
'CursorHold' autocommand. See ':help CursorHold' for the details, but this
means that it is displayed after 'updatetime' milliseconds. When set to an
empty string, the popup is not automatically displayed.

In addition to this setting, there is the '<plug>(YCMHover)' mapping, which can
be used to manually trigger or hide the popup (it works like a toggle). For
example:
>
  nmap <leader>D <plug>(YCMHover)
<
After dismissing the popup with this mapping, it will not be automatically
triggered again until the cursor is moved (i.e. 'CursorMoved' autocommand).

The displayed documentation depends on what the completer for the current
language supports. It's selected heuristically in this order of preference:

1. 'GetHover' with 'markdown' syntax
2. |GetDoc| with no syntax
3. |GetType| with the syntax of the current file.

You can customise this by manually setting up 'b:ycm_hover' to your liking.
This buffer-local variable can be set to a dictionary with the following keys:

- 'command': The YCM completer subcommand which should be run on hover
- 'syntax': The syntax to use (as in 'set syntax=') in the popup window for
  highlighting.

For example, to use C/C++ syntax highlighting in the popup for C-family
languages, add something like this to your vimrc:
>
  augroup MyYCMCustom
    autocmd!
    autocmd FileType c,cpp let b:ycm_hover = {
      \ 'command': 'GetDoc',
      \ 'syntax': &filetype
      \ }
  augroup END
<
Default: "'CursorHold'"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_filter_diagnostics* option

This option controls which diagnostics will be rendered by YCM. This option
holds a dictionary of key-values, where the keys are Vim's filetype strings
delimited by commas and values are dictionaries describing the filter.

A filter is a dictionary of key-values, where the keys are the type of filter,
and the value is a list of arguments to that filter. In the case of just a
single item in the list, you may omit the brackets and just provide the
argument directly. If any filter matches a diagnostic, it will be dropped and
YCM will not render it.

The following filter types are supported:

- "regex": Accepts a string regular expression [90]. This type matches when
  the regex (treated as case-insensitive) is found anywhere in the diagnostic
  text ('re.search', not 're.match')

- "level": Accepts a string level, either "warning" or "error." This type
  matches when the diagnostic has the same level, that is, specifying 'level:
  "error"' will remove **all** errors from the diagnostics.

**NOTE:** The regex syntax is **NOT** Vim's, it's Python's [90].

Default: '{}'

The following example will do, for java filetype only: - Remove **all** error
level diagnostics, and, - Also remove anything that contains 'ta<something>co'
>
  let g:ycm_filter_diagnostics = {
    \ "java": {
    \      "regex": [ "ta.+co", ... ],
    \      "level": "error",
    \      ...
    \    }
    \ }
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Note: if YCM's errors aren't visible, it might be that YCM is updating an older
location list. See ':help :lhistory' and ':lolder'.

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_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' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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 [91]. 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 'Settings' 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 [43] and then passed to your
'Settings' function as a 'client_data' keyword argument.

For instance, if you set this option to "['v:version']", your 'Settings'
function will be called like this:
>
  # The '801' value is of course contingent on Vim 8.1; in 8.0 it would be '800'
  Settings( ..., client_data = { 'v:version': 801 } )
<
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 'Settings' function:
>
  def Settings( **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 [43]. 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_keep_logfiles* option

When this option is set to '1', YCM and the ycmd completion server [43] 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' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_keep_logfiles = 0
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_log_level* option

The logging level that YCM and the ycmd completion server [43] use. 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_log_level = 'info'
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_auto_start_csharp_server* option

When set to '1', the OmniSharp-Roslyn server will be automatically started
(once per Vim session) when you open a C# file.

Default: '1' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_auto_start_csharp_server = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_auto_stop_csharp_server* option

When set to '1', the OmniSharp-Roslyn server will be automatically stopped upon
closing Vim.

Default: '1' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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-Roslyn server to listen on. When set to '0' uses an unused port
provided by the OS.

Default: '0' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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. Alternatively, when set to
'popup' and your version of Vim supports popup windows (see ':help popup'), the
'popup' string will be used instead. 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.

When 'popup' is present in 'completeopt', YCM will instead use a 'popup' window
to the side of the completion popup for storing detailed information about the
current completion candidate. In addition, YCM may truncate the detailed
completion information in order to give the popup sufficient room to display
that detailed information.

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 for
the C-family, C#, Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript languages.

A special value of '0' means there is no limit.

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_list_stop_completion* option

This option controls the key mappings used to close the completion menu. This
is useful when the menu is blocking the view, when you need to insert the
'<TAB>' character, or when you want to expand a snippet from UltiSnips [24] and
navigate through it.

Default: "['<C-y>']"
>
  let g:ycm_key_list_stop_completion = ['<C-y>']
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 triggered automatically
after typing characters appropriate for the language, such as '.', '->', '::',
etc. 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.

If you prefer the detailed diagnostic to be shown in a popup, then 'let
g:ycm_show_detailed_diag_in_popup=1'.

Default: '<leader>d'
>
  let g:ycm_key_detailed_diagnostics = '<leader>d'
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_show_detailed_diag_in_popup* option

Makes |:YcmShowDetailedDiagnostic| always show in a popup rather than echoing
to the command line.

Default: 0
>
  let g:ycm_show_detailed_diag_in_popup = 0
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: "'/usr/lib/ycmd/ycm_extra_conf.py'" (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf = '/usr/lib/ycmd/ycm_extra_conf.py'
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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: '[]' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  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 [90].

Default: '{}' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_semantic_triggers =  {
    \   'c': ['->', '.'],
    \   'objc': ['->', '.', 're!\[[_a-zA-Z]+\w*\s', 're!^\s*[^\W\d]\w*\s',
    \            're!\[.*\]\s'],
    \   'ocaml': ['.', '#'],
    \   'cpp,cuda,objcpp': ['->', '.', '::'],
    \   'perl': ['->'],
    \   'php': ['->', '::'],
    \   'cs,d,elixir,go,groovy,java,javascript,julia,perl6,python,scala,typescript,vb': ['.'],
    \   'ruby,rust': ['.', '::'],
    \   'lua': ['.', ':'],
    \   'erlang': [':'],
    \ }
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_cache_omnifunc* option

Some omnicompletion engines do not work well with the YCM cache—in particular,
they might not produce all possible results for a given prefix. By unsetting
this option you can ensure that the omnicompletion engine is re-queried on
every keypress. That will ensure all completions will be presented, but might
cause stuttering and lagginess if the omnifunc is slow.

Default: '1'
>
  let g:ycm_cache_omnifunc = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_use_ultisnips_completer* option

By default, YCM will query the UltiSnips plugin for possible completions of
snippet triggers. This option can turn that behavior off.

Default: '1' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_use_ultisnips_completer = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_goto_buffer_command* option

Defines where 'GoTo*' commands result should be opened. Can take one of the
following values: "'same-buffer'", "'split'", or "'split-or-existing-window'".
If this option is set to the "'same-buffer'" but current buffer can not be
switched (when buffer is modified and 'nohidden' option is set), then result
will be opened in a split. When the option is set to
"'split-or-existing-window'", if the result is already open in a window of the
current tab page (or any tab pages with the ':tab' modifier; see below), it
will jump to that window. Otherwise, the result will be opened in a split as if
the option was set to "'split'".

To customize the way a new window is split, prefix the 'GoTo*' command with one
of the following modifiers: ':aboveleft', ':belowright', ':botright',
':leftabove', ':rightbelow', ':topleft', and ':vertical'. For instance, to
split vertically to the right of the current window, run the command:
>
  :rightbelow vertical YcmCompleter GoTo
<
To open in a new tab page, use the ':tab' modifier with the "'split'" or
"'split-or-existing-window'" options e.g.:
>
  :tab YcmCompleter GoTo
<
Default: "'same-buffer'"
>
  let g:ycm_goto_buffer_command = 'same-buffer'
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_disable_for_files_larger_than_kb* option

Defines the max size (in Kb) for a file to be considered for completion. If
this option is set to 0 then no check is made on the size of the file you're
opening.

Default: 1000
>
  let g:ycm_disable_for_files_larger_than_kb = 1000
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_use_clang* option (Debian specific)

This option controls whether **clang** should be used as completion engine for
C-family languages. Can take one of the following values: `1`, `0`, with
meanings:

- `1`: YCM will use the built in clang-library-based completer
if the **clangd** competer is not available or disabled.
- `0`: YCM will never use clang completer.

Default: `1` (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_use_clang = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_use_clangd* option

This option controls whether **clangd** should be used as completion engine for
C-family languages. Can take one of the following values: '1', '0', with
meanings:

- '1': YCM will use clangd if clangd binary exists in third party or it was
  provided with 'ycm_clangd_binary_path' option.
- '0': YCM will never use clangd completer.

Default: '1' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_use_clangd = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_clangd_binary_path* option

When 'ycm_use_clangd' option is set to '1', this option sets the path to
**clangd** binary.

Default: "'/usr/bin/clangd'" (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_clangd_binary_path = '/usr/bin/clangd'
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_clangd_args* option

This option controls the command line arguments passed to the clangd binary. It
appends new options and overrides the existing ones.

Default: '[]' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_clangd_args = []
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_clangd_uses_ycmd_caching* option

This option controls which ranking and filtering algorithm to use for
completion items. It can take values:

- '1': Uses ycmd's caching and filtering logic.
- '0': Uses clangd's caching and filtering logic.

Default: '1'
>
  let g:ycm_clangd_uses_ycmd_caching = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_language_server* option

This option lets YCM use an arbitrary Language Server Protocol (LSP) server,
not unlike many other completion systems. The officially supported completers
are favoured over custom LSP ones, so overriding an existing completer means
first making sure YCM won't choose that existing completer in the first place.

A simple working example of this option can be found in the section called
"Semantic Completion for Other Languages".

Many working examples can be found in the YCM lsp-examples [77] repo.

Default: '[]' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  " ccls is actually configured as fallback in Debian if clangd and
  " libclang-based completers are disabled or otherwise unavailable
  let g:ycm_language_server =
    \ [{
    \   'name': 'ccls',
    \   'cmdline': [ 'ccls' ],
    \   'filetypes': [ 'c', 'cpp', 'cuda', 'objc', 'objcpp' ],
    \   'project_root_files': [ '.ccls-root', 'compile_commands.json' ]
    \ }]
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_disable_signature_help* option

This option allows you to disable all signature help for all completion
engines. There is no way to disable it per-completer. This option is
_reserved_, meaning that while signature help support remains experimental, its
values and meaning may change and it may be removed in a future version.

Default: '0' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  " Disable signature help
  let g:ycm_disable_signature_help = 1
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_gopls_binary_path* option

In case the system-wide 'gopls' binary is newer than the bundled one, setting
this option to the path of the system-wide 'gopls' would make YCM use that one
instead.

If the path is just 'gopls', YCM will search in '$PATH'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_gopls_args* option

Similar to the |g:ycm_clangd_args|, this option allows passing additional flags
to the 'gopls' command line.

Default: '[]' (set by Debian's ycmd package)
>
  let g:ycm_gopls_args = []
<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_rls_binary_path* and 'g:ycm_rustc_binary_path' options

YCM no longer uses RLS for rust, and these options are therefore no longer
supported.

To use a custom rust-analyzer, see |g:ycm_rust_toolchain_root|.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_rust_toolchain_root* option

Optionally specify the path to a custom rust toolchain including at least a
supported version of 'rust-analyzer'.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_tsserver_binary_path* option

Similar to the 'gopls' path, this option tells YCM where is the TSServer
executable located.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_roslyn_binary_path* option

Similar to the 'gopls' path, this option tells YCM where is the
Omnisharp-Roslyn executable located.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *g:ycm_update_diagnostics_in_insert_mode* option

With async diagnostics, LSP servers might send new diagnostics mid-typing. If
seeing these new diagnostics while typing is not desired, this option can be
set to 0.

When this option is set to '0', diagnostic signs, virtual text and highlights
are cleared when entering insert mode and replaced when leaving insert mode.
This reduces visual noise while editing.

In addition, this option is recommended when |g:ycm_echo_current_diagnostic| is
set to 'virtual-text' as it prevents updating the virtual text while you are
typing.

Default: '1'
>
  let g:ycm_update_diagnostics_in_insert_mode = 1
