Autocompletion I don't like - it reminds me of my VB5, Eclipse, MS SQL Server, and .net days (which all were few but traumatic) - for sure, in Emacs it is much better, as with TAB it happens at your discretion, and not instantly, all the time, and everywhere! Still, 1) I don't like to see the "false hits" as it takes 1 per mille of the mindfulness to see "something-gnus", when you look for "something-groff", and 2) I like to think my memory improves from memorizing either the long names, or, if too long, my aliases which are shorter and should click with my memory better as 1) I wrote them, and 2) the correspond to my thinking. Now this message is 1) written, and 2) sent. -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 32 Blogomatic articles -
