Cannot override/unset defaults for g:ycm_semantic_triggers

[blueyed]

Code: https://github.com/Valloric/ycmd/blob/master/ycmd/completers/completer_utils.py#L26-L31

user_trigger_map correspondents to the g:ycm_semantic_triggers here, and gets merged with PREPARED_DEFAULT_FILETYPE_TRIGGERS.

Therefore it's not possible anymore to unset/change the filetype triggers for a specific filetype.

Also, this recent change (merging the settings) appears to be not backwards-compatible in that g:ycm_semantic_triggers was taken as-is before, without merging it with the defaults.

This was changed many months ago and is working as intended. Yes, you can't turn off default semantic triggers anymore; people were turning them off by accident when they would redefine the dict to add triggers for a random language. Removing some default semantic triggers for a language was thus a rarely used feature that was removed because it did more harm than good (people were shooting themselves in the foot).

The whole idea of user-level custom semantic triggers was a bad one and I'd take it back if I could without breaking people. It results in people locally setting semantic triggers for a language YCM doesn't have good defaults instead of upstreaming their changes and improving the defaults. This is the reason why there's no user-level option for tweaking the new per-language identifier regex.
