I would like to be able to complete from words in all open buffers, not just code parts.  Is there a setting

in company-mode I can use ?



Have made some progress using the following



 (setq company-backends '(company-dabbrev-code company-dabbrev))



But, in programming languages I cannot complete from all buffers including from comments in

opened code files.

Try

(setq company-dabbrev-code-everywhere t)

In general, you can view the available options across the package using 
'M-x customize-group company'.

Have set up things as follows ta allow completion from code buffers, everywhere, ignoring letter case,

and using all opened buffers. 

 

  (setq company-dabbrev-code-everywhere t)
  (setq company-dabbrev-code-ignore-case)
  (setq company-dabbrev-code-other-buffers t)



I also want to complete from texinfo (.texi) files.  Last time you had mentioned  

 
  (setq company-backends '(company-dabbrev-code company-dabbrev))



There are a loads of options and getting hesitant to what to keep and which ones to discard.

Currently I have set the following



  (setq company-backends '(company-dabbrev-code company-dabbrev))

  (setq company-dabbrev-code-everywhere t)
  (setq company-dabbrev-code-ignore-case t)
  (setq company-dabbrev-code-other-buffers t)

  (setq company-dabbrev-code-everywhere t)
  (setq company-dabbrev-ignore-case t)
  (setq company-dabbrev-other-buffers t)

Does the company-backends sequence matter.  Would like to complete for both text files

and code (including from comments).  I could also make a keybind to complete from code only

or from everything.  What can one do for such keybind case?
