How to configure in IdeaVIM Ctrl + N and Ctrl + P completion from Vim?

Question

In Vim we can use Ctrl + N or Ctrl + P to finish code completion. How to configure it in IdeaVim for IntelliJ?

Answer 1

This is the way I found to make the word completion work with CTRL-N and CTRL-P, while still having the shortcuts work for DOWN and UP in lists.

In Settings -> Keymap, map CTRL-N and CTRL-P to Down and Up respectively. Then, in the Other Settings -> Vim Emulation, set CTRL-N and CTRL-P handlers to Vim.

Finally, add the following to your .ideavimrc

imap  :action HippieCompletiona
imap  :action HippieBackwardCompletiona
