Features

Autocomplete

Navigate through the list using <C-n> (next), <C-p> (previous).

Expand it by pressing ctrl-k key.

Note

Valloric/YouCompleteMe, with shawncplus/phpcomplete.vim is now used for auto-complete. Therefore, you have to generate the tags. Run the following command from inside the root of your project.

ctags -R  --languages=php

Asynchronous syntax checker using w0rp/ale

This is triggered on file save.

List of functions and variables

Trigger it using <leader>tt.

View files and directories in project docroot

Trigger it using <leader>ntt.

This also uses jistr/vim-nerdtree-tabs, so the state is maintained across tabs.

And many other features.

Feel free to create issues here if you are having problem during the setup.

Pull requests are welcome for bugs/new features :)

Thanks for flying Vim :)
