I assume you're new to vim in general.

Your questions regards autocomplete source code or autocomplete vim commands?
I suggest you spend a day or two with vim tutorial....it's really helpful and will get you running pretty fast.

If you google a bit you'll find quite some stuff.
Here some useful plugins I use myself - not sure if any of those are in there by default but I find those using everyday. With latest vim autocomplete is part of vim more or less.

EnhancedCommentify.vim
fuzzyfinder.vim

First thing you will need in ubuntu to unleash the power of vim is to install vim-full package (by default, Ubuntu has vim-tiny package installed, which is very limited in features. For example it doesn't support tabs).
