Most of existing autocomplete plugins like NeoComplete or YouCompleteMe etc do not work well on Windows. I am looking for something Vim native to do this.

Thanks Tumbler.

I started working on it. The Help had a example that I could work with.

inoremap <F5> <C-R>=ListMonths()<CR>

func! ListMonths()
call complete(col('.'),
['January
New line', 'February', 'March',
\ 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September',
\ 'October', 'November', 'December'])
return ''
endfunc

Is it possible to have completion triggers snippet with multiple lines? For example,

F5 > January will put

First Month.
January.

Something like that. Is it possible?
