 Hello,
 
 Before spending a lot of time trying to choose for the best completion

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

[Orgmode] RFI -- Which completion system?

2010-10-21 Thread Sébastien Vauban
Hello,

Before spending a lot of time trying to choose for the best completion
mechanism inside Emacs (and sticking to it), setting it up all the way
through, I wanted to know if you had had:

- particularly good or bad experiences with one of the standard ones?

- things to notice regarding the integration with Org?

From the many that do exist -- and which conflict in my =.emacs= file! --,
I've spotted the following ones of being of real interest:

- dabbrev
- hippie-expand
- pabbrev
- company

Any comment on this?

Best regards,
  Seb
