Return to vim normal mode immediately after pressing ESC key

[linhmtran168]

Currently, Vim returns to edit mode after pressing ESC key when the YCM's auto-complete popup is displaying. I'm used to SuperTab's behavior, so I find it a litte inconvenient to have to press ESC key 2 times to return to normal mode. Is there an option in YCM that help me change this behavior?

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this. When the popup menu is displayed, pressing ESC once takes me back to normal mode. I don't need to press ESC twice.

It's possible you have some misbehaving mapping.

Thank you,

It was a problem with the vim-autoclose plugin.

It was a problem with the vim-autoclose plugin.

Same issue here, disabling vim-autoclose helps, but how to get YCM and vim-autoclose to work together?

[vheon]

try some other plugin, like Raimondi/delimitMate

Thank you @vheon , that solves the issue.

It would be nice to mention it in README.md :-)

It would be nice to mention it in README.md :-)

It's already mentioned, and has been for years.

let g:AutoClosePumvisible = {"ENTER": "", "ESC": ""}

fixes the vim-autoclose problem

I don't use vim-autoclose and I'm still experiencing this rather annoying issue.

Current plugins:

Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
Plug 'freeo/vim-kalisi'
Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline'
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree'
Plug 'Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin'
Plug 'scrooloose/syntastic'
Plug 'airblade/vim-gitgutter'
Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'
Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
Plug 'editorconfig/editorconfig-vim'
Plug 'kien/ctrlp.vim'

@Qix- try to not load every plugin except for YouCompleteMe and then bring them in one at a time until you figure out which one is the culprit.
