Completion is "noisy".

[dpc]

YouCompleteMe seems to frequently print some stuff on commandline. This is distracting.

[Valloric]

Yeah I don't know how to silence that. I've tried throwing silence in a few key places but it doesn't work. Would love to hear suggestions on this.

[dpc]

Well, I'm not an experienced Vim scripted, so I can't help other than reporting this issue.

Also, if there's no .ycm_extra_conf.py YouCompleteMe will brag about it every 2 seconds after you stop typing. :)

This is Vim's feature. You cannot hide the completion messages.

[dpc]

If it is so, can we develop a patch for Vim and ask upstream to merge it?

[Valloric]

I was worried that it was impossible to turn this off. Yeah, it would be great if Vim were patched to not emit this messages if possible.

Closing as there's nothing I can do to fix this.

@dpc Pull in the latest YCM changes; YCM should now only tell you once that there's no extra conf file if one's missing.

Sorry, I cannot. And I think it is too difficult to define the feature.

Setting noshowmode slightly alleviates the problem, with the drawback that mode switches are also no longer printed in the command line. Vim still prints 'Back at original' which is as far as I can tell a bug in Vim. 'Back at original' is printed because of the implicit C-P keypress. So, all in all, far from ideal unfortunately.

I created the patch for this feature.

It is reviewed by Mr.Bram and put in todo list.

Thanks for that @Shougo!
