How to trigger autocomplete for Go?

[rythmkraze]

I understand that the code completion feature is experimental at the time. But I do not see any documentation (other than the F1 trigger which has been struck down) that tells me how to enable it. Could you please assist me.

It's currently disabled (going to update the README).

An old version (~5 months ago?) had a very fast "go to definition" and an "auto completion" feature, but the code wasn't stable. The reason it was fast was because it was only analysing the absolute necessary path to get the task done. Goguru is slower in many cases but it is stable. So I set to use goguru and disabled the auto completion.

For auto completion the alternative would have been gocode, which is a client/server solution with cache that I didn't favor at the time. But most likely this is probably what will end up being used until something better is done.

I'm bumping this in my priority list since I miss it a bit as well.

Great 👍 Thankyou

The autocomplete plugin has been working as expected more or less since aa0bcbf (F1 opens a float box, with gocode providing the content). This offloads the responsibility to an external program.

Improvements to the specifics of auto-completion can be done in another issue.
