I have bundles ultisnips and youcompleteme installed on my macvim.
The problem is that ultisnips doesn't work because tab is bound by ycm.
I tried putting let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger = "<s-tab>"
so that I can trigger the snippet completion with shift-tab, but it doesn't work for some unknown reason. I could use caps as the trigger, but so far I've found no way to do that.
Do any of you use those two add-ons together? What can I do to make shift-tab work? Can you recommend another key to trigger snippets?
Another option is using the SuperTab plugin:
" if you use Vundle, load plugins:
Bundle 'ervandew/supertab'
Bundle 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'
Bundle 'SirVer/ultisnips'
" make YCM compatible with UltiSnips (using supertab)
let g:ycm_key_list_select_completion = ['<C-n>', '<Down>']
let g:ycm_key_list_previous_completion = ['<C-p>', '<Up>']
let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = '<C-n>'
" better key bindings for UltiSnipsExpandTrigger
let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger = "<tab>"
let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger = "<tab>"
let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger = "<s-tab>"
Here YouCompleteMe is bound to a different combination Ctrln, but then that combination is bound to tab through SuperTab. UltiSnips and SuperTab play nice together, so you can then just bind UltiSnips to tab directly and everything will work out.
