On Enabling Autocompletion In Vim

Compile Vim from source for Python3 support:

$ git clone https://github.com/vim/vim
$ cd vim
$ ./configure \
    --with-features=huge \
    --enable-python3interp \
    --with-python3-config-dir=/usr/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-x86_64-linux-gnu/
$ make
$ sudo make install

To see all of the options available for configuring the binary:
$ ./configure --help

Install the packages needed to install all completers:
```
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake vim-nox python3-dev -y
```
The official docs recommend the following command to get all runtimes:
```
$ sudo apt-get install mono-complete golang nodejs openjdk-17-jdk openjdk-17-jre npm
```
Since I only want to get autocompletion for Go, I am not using the package manager to install it, since I want the latest. This is a manual step that I’ve already done.
Use vim-plug to download and install the YouCompleteMe package. Add the following line to the appropriate Vim config file (usually .vimrc):
```
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe'
```
Then, still in the vim configuration file, download the plugin using the ed command:
```
:PlugInstall
```

Install the Go completer:

$ cd ~/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe/
$ python3 install.py --go-completer

To install all completers:
$ python3 install.py --all

That’s it!
