Ok, Excuse me, I thought it is more related to general key-bindings.

I'll reply off list too.

Huh?  gnu.emacs.help is about any use of Emacs, not just
plain-vanilla-Emacs-with-no-extra-nothing.  Please reply here.

    Huh?  gnu.emacs.help is about any use of Emacs, not just
    plain-vanilla-Emacs-with-no-extra-nothing.  Please reply here.

My point above was simply to not waste mailing-list bandwidth discussing
particularities of an external library that others might not use or be
familiar with. That's all I meant.

Do people want to see here discussions and debug sessions of possible bugs
in individual external libraries? I doubt it. If we went down that road, I'm
sure people would soon be posting complaints that this was not a mailing
list  for library Foobar or whatever.

If the result of such an off-list discussion turns out to be relevant to
others who might also use the library in question, then it can be reported
(summarized) here after investigating off list. Or, if there is a related,
general Emacs question or problem, that can be discussed here.

In this case, the OP and I corresponded briefly off list, sorted out some of
the confusion, and determined that the question/problem does not in fact
concern Icicles. The OP might still have a question or some general info to
post here. If so, that can now be espressed more clearly, in a more focused
manner. I can assure you that nothing was lost to the list by taking the
initial investigation off list.

Reminder: When posting a question/problem, it helps to state:

1. The version of Emacs you're using.

2. The versions of any relevant external libraries you're using.

3. The exact steps needed to reproduce the problem, if known, starting with
a virgin Emacs session (e.g. emacs -q).

icicles lisp-mode dabbrev-completion

[Emabela]

Hello,



I would like to use icicles' dabbrev-completion

in lisp mode with tab.

So my .emacs contains:

(setq icicle-redefine-standard-commands-flag 1)

(require 'icicles)

(define-key global-map "\t" 'dabbrev-completion)



and later

(autoload 'lisp-mode "lisp-mode" "Lisp Mode." t)

(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook '(lambda ()

                  (define-key lisp-mode-map "\t" 'dabbrev-completion)))

(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook '(lambda ()

                  (define-key global-map "\t" 'dabbrev-completion)))

But it has no effect.

In text-mode dabbrev-completion works, but not in lisp mode

(especially, it does not work in *scratch*)



What do I miss?

Thanks for any hints.



Regards, B.

This question concerns library icicles.el, which is not part of GNU Emacs.
Since this mailing list is for vanilla GNU Emacs, not external libraries,
I'll reply off list.  I'm happy to reply to questions about Icicles at my
own email address or, better, on the EmacsWiki page for discussion of
Icicles: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/IciclesDiscussion.

For those who might be wondering, Icicles can be found at
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/icicles.el. Thx.
