+Using **Vim** with Ruby
+==================
+
+**Vim** and ruby are like beer and pizza -- a perfect couple. Following the above will already give you syntax highlighting on ruby files. Here is how you add code completion, i.e. type a command prefix and use the TAB key and be presented with a list of possible completions.
+
+First install the [SuperTab](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1643) module for **Vim**. Then put this in your `.vimrc`
+
+    " ruby autocompletion
+    autocmd FileType ruby,eruby set omnifunc=rubycomplete#Complete
+    autocmd FileType ruby,eruby let g:rubycomplete_buffer_loading = 1
+    autocmd FileType ruby,eruby let g:rubycomplete_rails = 1
+    autocmd FileType ruby,eruby let g:rubycomplete_classes_in_global = 1
+    let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = "<C-X><C-O>"
+
+    "improve autocomplete menu color
+    highlight Pmenu ctermbg=238 gui=bold
+
+Now, for example, if you want to implement a `collect` call on some container (such as a hash), you can type in **Vim** a prefix of `collect` and press TAB:
+
+    { ... }.c<TAB>
+
+and **Vim** will present you with a list of applicable commands, from which you select `collect`.
