I've tried a number over the years. I've yet to reach a situation
where I am particularly happy with any of them but the one that seems
to work best *for me* so far is hippie.
I have the following settings (having just added Tassilo's expansion
function for calc which is brilliant!):
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq hippie-expand-try-functions-list
'(;;yas/hippie-try-expand
th/my-try-complete-with-calc-result
try-expand-all-abbrevs
try-expand-dabbrev
try-expand-dabbrev-all-buffers
try-expand-dabbrev-from-kill
try-complete-file-name
try-complete-lisp-symbol))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
I no longer use yasnippets as they interfered too much with completion
in general.
I have bound hippie-expand to C-; as I find this a lot easier to type
than M-/. I also have TAB bound to the following:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun esf/indent-or-expand (arg)
"Either indent according to mode, or expand the word preceding point."
(interactive "*P")
(if (and
(or (bobp) (= ?w (char-syntax (char-before
(or (eobp) (not (= ?w (char-syntax (char-after))
;;(dabbrev-expand arg)
(hippie-expand arg)
(indent-according-to-mode)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
in most text buffers. This means that TAB no longer does what it
should in org mode but I use C-i for that functionality as most of the
time I am typing text and not moving things around.
HTH,
eric
