I use YouCompleteMe on vim and it works great for me on the files in my local machine. However, when I open files in a remote server, for example, using

:e scp://user@remote//path/to/file.cpp

None of my YouCompleteMe based completion works.

I see that the above scp command, copies the remote file to local disk, and copies it back to the remote location whenever I do :w. And it is very weird to me that YouCompleteMe has no completion suggestions!

What can I do for the YouCompleteMe suggestions to start working again?

  • I'd wager this is entirely dependent on how YouCompleteMe configures itself and knows what completion to provide. (Aside: for the time being, the <C-X> family really isn't bad—I love it)

  • netrw (vim's built-in plugin that handles remote files) is blacklisted by default in YouCompleteMe. maybe try let g:ycm_filetype_blacklist.netrw=0?
