Vim from Homebrew + YouCompleteMe works for me. * brew install vim * alias vim="/usr/local/Cellar/vim/7.3.632/bin/vim" * :BundleInstall 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe' * Make the ycm_build directory: cd ~ mkdir ycm_build cd ycm_build * brew install cmake * Run cmake from the ycm_build dir: cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/cpp * make ycm_core And boom, YouCompleteMe is running for me. Works amazing. Always had a problem with having to press a button to autocomplete. The cognitive reflection of "okay, I want help completing this word" usually defeats the speed improvement for me.
