Vim Omnicomplete in real time?

Question

I want my omnicomplete tooltip appear as I type, or 1 second after I stopped typing, or even after I type period.(akin to visual studio). Is that possible in Vim?

For those who have no idea what I am talking about, I want this little window to show up without pressing CTRL+X, CTRL+O or any other awkward keyboard shortcuts.

CTRL + Space sounds like a good alternative but I am on a Macbook, my leftmost key is Fn, not Control unfortunately.

Answer 1

i would recommend neocomplcache. it looks better and works faster then AutoComplPop

Answer 2

It sounds to me like you're looking for something like AutoComplPop.

This pops up the completion menu while you're typing.

Answer 3

Have you tried looking at supertab? Not sure if that's what you're after, but maybe you'll find something interesting in the source. Good luck!
