Description

## Information

**VIM version**

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled May 2 2021 18:02:30)
MS-Windows 32-bit console version

Operating System: Windows 11

## What went wrong

I have omni completion configured to use ALE as described in the README:

```
set omnifunc=ale#completion#OmniFunc
```

However, triggering omni completion never works. It always says this:

```
-- Omni completion (^O^N^P) Pattern not found
```

I can fix this by first calling `ale_complete`. For example, if I add this line to my `.vimrc`:

```
imap (ale_complete)
```

Then if I press `` first, afterwards omni completion will work as expected.

Auto-completion also works if enabled like this:

```
let g:ale_completion_enabled = 1
```

But this is **not** what I want: I don't want automatic completions to pop up, I only want completions when manually triggered with ``.

## Reproducing the bug

1. Configure omni completion to use ALE as described in the README: `set omnifunc=ale#completion#OmniFunc`
2. Try to trigger omni completion: press ``
3. Omni completion fails with "Pattern not found"
