Probably user stupidity, but it doesn't seem to work? about youcompleteme HOT 5 CLOSED

The messages in the status area are normal and cannot be avoided.

You need to have a vim filetype set to something before getting the completion. If you just try to edit an empty file, its filetype will be set to 'text' and YCM ignores that filetype on purpose.

Same issue here, but filetype is already set to "cpp". Any idea?

Hey,

Why was this issue never addressed? I am having the same issue. No matter what kind of file I try to edit, it just says "^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)" at the bottom and no autocomplete suggestions are given.

Please help.

It is a strange issue, I have vim with YCM on my macbook and never had issue But the vim with YCM in my RHEL dev server has this issue.

from youcompleteme.

My ycm works well before I update my plugins with "BundleInstall!" and recompile it. Then, I also encounter this problem, I do it with my desktop and laptop, however, they display different results.
In my desktop, ycm can not work normally, vim prompts me
-- ^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y)
at insert mode.
In my laptop, ycm can work normally, however, vim prompts me
-- User defined completion (^U^N^P) Pattern not found
at insert mode.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
