youcompleteme-vscode README

This is the README for extension "youcompleteme-vscode". TODO. So much TODO

For now, much can be found out at https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe

This extension is very much a work in (slow) progress

Features

• Code completion
• Go to definition
• Linting with extended information support
• Hover provider (types)
• FixIts

Planned features

• More completer commands
• Provide some VSCode commands that fire off Ycmd commands

Requirements

You must have Python and Ycmd somewhere. I may publish actual instructions on how to build it sometime in the future. For now see https://github.com/Valloric/ycmd/blob/master/README.md for some instructions. Also useful is ./build.py --help

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• YouCompleteMe.ycmdPath: Path to ycmd (The path should contain ycmd/default_settings.json)
• YouCompleteMe.pythonPath: Full path of the python executable
• YouCompleteMe.filetypes: filetypes for completion
• YouCompleteMe.triggerStrings.cpp: Strings that trigger completion in C++ files
• YouCompleteMe.triggerStrings.c: Strings that trigger completion in C files
• YouCompleteMe.reparseTimeout: After this many milliseconds with no edits, the extension will reparse the current file and add diagnostics
• YouCompleteMe.logLevel: The verbosity of logging
• YouCompleteMe.reparseWaitDelay: The amount of time in milliseconds to wait to retry a request that was denied because the file was still parsing
• YouCompleteMe.fallbackToSemantic: When set to true, if a non-semantic completions request returns nothing, YCM will try to get semantic completions

Commands

• YCM: Shutdown server: Shutdown YCM server. It will be started again with reloaded settings when a request is sent to it.
