After 'terryma/vim-multiple-cursors' into insert mode, `<Plug>(neocomplete_start_auto_complete)`

[viktor-yang]

After I use 'vim-multiple-cursors', I change into insert mode and input something. And it become slow and add this:

<Plug>(neocomplete_start_auto_complete)

I got the same situation.

This happens for me when I edit a .jsx (React) file.

Found the solution, simply put these code into vimrc will fix.

" Called once right before you start selecting multiple cursors
function! Multiple_cursors_before()
  if exists(':NeoCompleteLock')==2
    exe 'NeoCompleteLock'
  endif
endfunction

" Called once only when the multiple selection is canceled (default <Esc>)
function! Multiple_cursors_after()
  if exists(':NeoCompleteUnlock')==2
    exe 'NeoCompleteUnlock'
  endif
endfunction

Reference: vim-multiple-cursors

For those who needs a solution that supports deoplete:

" Disable Deoplete when selecting multiple cursors starts
function! Multiple_cursors_before()
    if exists('*deoplete#disable')
        exe 'call deoplete#disable()'
    elseif exists(':NeoCompleteLock') == 2
        exe 'NeoCompleteLock'
    endif
endfunction

" Enable Deoplete when selecting multiple cursors ends
function! Multiple_cursors_after()
    if exists('*deoplete#enable')
        exe 'call deoplete#enable()'
    elseif exists(':NeoCompleteUnlock') == 2
        exe 'NeoCompleteUnlock'
    endif
endfunction

Update

Looks like some people are having issues with deoplete#enable() and has to use deoplete#toggle() instead. So here's the updated version:

" Disable Deoplete when selecting multiple cursors starts
function! Multiple_cursors_before()
    if exists('*deoplete#disable')
        exe 'call deoplete#disable()'
    elseif exists(':NeoCompleteLock') == 2
        exe 'NeoCompleteLock'
    endif
endfunction

" Enable Deoplete when selecting multiple cursors ends
function! Multiple_cursors_after()
    if exists('*deoplete#toggle')
        exe 'call deoplete#toggle()'
    elseif exists(':NeoCompleteUnlock') == 2
        exe 'NeoCompleteUnlock'
    endif
endfunction

To help people via search engine, I would only get: <Plug>_ when trying to insert code with Deoplete.

Thank you @tpai and @ChinLeung

[hamidraza]

in @chinleung code I had to replace exe 'call deoplete#disable()' or exe 'call deoplete#enable()' to exe 'call deoplete#toggle()'

after deoplete gets disabled, call deoplete#enable() was not working for me.

[chinleung]

@hamidraza What do you mean by it's not working? Any errors? Or deoplete just kept showing up?

[hamidraza]

@chinleung Once deoplete gets disabled, ‘deoplete#enable()’ was unable to enable is back, means Autocompletion was permanently disabled. I didn’t get any error in VIM.

[martinbergpetersen]

I had the same issue! @hamidraza fix helped. So thanks to you both. Nice done

Same here, so copy pasting the full solution here again for those reading the thread too fast:

" Disable Deoplete when selecting multiple cursors starts
function! Multiple_cursors_before()
    if exists('*deoplete#disable')
        exe 'call deoplete#disable()'
    elseif exists(':NeoCompleteLock') == 2
        exe 'NeoCompleteLock'
    endif
endfunction

" Enable Deoplete when selecting multiple cursors ends
function! Multiple_cursors_after()
    if exists('*deoplete#toggle')
        exe 'call deoplete#toggle()'
    elseif exists(':NeoCompleteUnlock') == 2
        exe 'NeoCompleteUnlock'
    endif
endfunction

Thanks!
