Hi, Is someone here writing vex code with vim? I want to get started with vim and houdini (vim noob). But I have no idea on how to use autocompletion. I've seen those two gits: https://github.com/find/vim-vex-lang and https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim . I've installed vim-vex-lang, but don't know how to activate it / trigger the completion. Maybe someone can give me a hint, any help is appreciated.
