 ALE automatic completion will not work when 'paste' is active. Only set
 'paste' when you are copy and pasting text into your buffers.
 
+ALE automatic completion will interfere with default insert completion with
+`CTRL-N` and so on (|compl-vim|). You can write your own keybinds and a
+function in your |vimrc| file to force insert completion instead, like so: >
+
+  function! SmartInsertCompletion() abort
+    " Use the default CTRL-N in completion menus
+    if pumvisible()
+      return "\<C-n>"
+    endif
+

+  endfunction

+You can write your own completion function and fallback on other methods of
+completion by checking if there are no results that ALE can determine. For

+function. >

 ALE will only suggest so many possible matches for completion. The maximum
 number of items can be controlled with |g:ale_completion_max_suggestions|.
