Getting Rust autocompletion in Vim

Hello

I am trying to install Racer for Vim to get some Rust autocompletion in my Vim. I guess
this will make my life a little bit easier.

First I installed racer which seems to work fine, executing racer complete std::io::B in my command line does give some options.

Finally I installed Vim-racer using Pathogen:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/racer-rust/vim-racer.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-racer

I added the racer_cmd variable in my vimrc like they asked:

" For Rust
let g:racer_cmd = "/Users/oniel/.cargo/bin/racer"

I restarted vim, opened a .rs file but when pressing Cmd + X, or Control + X (normally the shortcut for getting some completion suggestions) nothing happens.

What did I miss?

Full vimrc:

set nocompatible
" Initialisation de pathogen
call pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()

set number
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set smartindent
set autoindent

let NERDTreeMinimalUI = 1
let NERDTreeDirArrows = 1
set laststatus=2

let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1
let g:airline_theme='minimalist'

set guioptions-=r  "remove right-hand scroll bar

Hey, I had a lot more success using coc-rust-analyzer than racer, so you might want to try that.

Thanks, works like a charm!! Is it possible to bind it to a shortcut? So it only displays suggestions when I'm pressing specific keys. Or to customize the looks of it? Thanks.

Take a look at the help page on :help coc-configuration or the readme of the github page.
