How do I turn off Omni Complete in Vim?

Question

Adding filetype plugin on to my .vimrc turned on vim's auto complete functionality. This adds a small delay before you can use a movement without invoking auto complete. How do I turn this off without removing that line of code which is necessary for pyflakes integration.

2016 edit: Despite all the useless advice in this thread, the question did eventually get answered on StackOverflow a year later (by Ingo Karkat no less).

Disable omnicomplete or ftplugin or something in vim

Answer 1

Vim does not have auto-complete; any completion must be explicitly triggered with <C-n> or a <C-x> combination.

What you experience is probably a plugin, possibly related to Python. Check what you've installed, read its documentation, and follow the instructions there how to turn it off. It is probably implemented with some autocmds, which can be shut down via :autocmd! AutoCmdGroupNameHere, but there should be a configuration variable for it.
