Vim words auto-complete

“The default auto-complete functionality completes the words you type by checking the available terms in the buffer. To use this functionality, Type some words in the file. Next, type a few characters of the word you need to write and press

Ctrl + N

to complete the word automatically. If Vim finds only one match, it will automatically complete the term.” [1]
