VIM - how to work with BOTH supertab.vim with snipMate.vim?

Question

I'm picking up vim and found 2 plugins that work great - snipMate, that mimics the textmate's snippet behavior and supertab, that toggles and completes words using the tab key based on exiting words in current/other buffers. I've turned all plugins on in my .vimrc file using :filetype plugin on, but I can only get supertab to work. I suspect that since the TAB key is used for both, they are overriding each other. Has anyone encountered this and found a fix? I'm not an expert yet on editing my .vimrc file, mapping keys, etc. Thanks.

EDIT

When I try to force load snipMate.vim alone, I get the following errors:

Am I doing it wrong?...

Answer 1

Ok i got it working with the scripts linked in the original question.

It turned out that i used supersnipmate, a snipmate fork, that unfortunately removed the builtin supertab support of snipmate.

Also i did use the original supertab hosted on vim.org that did not work with snipmate as well. The linked script on github turned out to be the successor (or continued version) of the old supertab.

Answer 2

I have both working well together.

The only relevant line in my .vimrc is:

let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = "context"
