Problems combining OmniCppComplete with Pathogen

Since a few days I am using the Pathogen plug-in together with the scripts from GitHub as described here. I think it is a wonderful way to maintain my personal ViM installation. However, after installing and trying OmniCppComplete I got the following error messages when attempting to complete something:

-- Omni completion (^O^N^P) Pattern not found

After a while I found out that the used complete-function ‘omnifunc’ was set to:

ccomplete#Complete

This is the generic completion function for C-based programs and does not work well with C++-programs. To fix this add the following line to .vimrc:

au BufNewFile,BufRead,BufEnter *.cpp,*.hpp set omnifunc=omni#cpp#complete#Main

This should leave you with a working OmniCppComplete plug-in managed from the vim-scripts repositories at GitHub.

As a passionate and seasoned user of the best editor in the world I always look around for ways to improve the editing experience. One way to improve that is by selecting a good color scheme. The ViM website offer a ton of color schemes but no way to sample them other then look at the user ratings, install them and then judge for yourself. And even then the color schemes on the ViM site are not all schemes that are available.

Fortunately someone wrote a page where, as far as I know, all color schemes are shown and downloadable. Even my two favorite ones: here and here. The only minor annoyance is the fact that the color schemes are not all alphabetically ordered.

I know, I know, old news, but I still like to use this web site as my own long term memory…
