auto-complete

auto-complete

[daniele.g]

I've started using auto-complete.el while editing my C++ sources, it's
great... when auto completions occur. I mean, it seems it works only
with a per session db, when I start a new file it starts over with an
empty set of symbols to fill in again, and it's quite annoying.
Is there any way to keep the symbols between sessions. Or, better, make
AC scan my lib path to have a complete set of symbols once for all.

Thanks in andvance.

it may be worth checking or customising the value of 'ac-comphist-file' 
variable, and possibly 'ac-user-dictionary' for the 2nd part of your 
question

I think there are better ways to complete C++ code than auto-complete.
You should try to setup some tags or even better manage to get cedet
working correctly.

So you would get a nice intelligent completion and much more...

Why doesn't my auto-completion work ?
I am programming in Common Lisp and I want a dialog to pop up, with possible completions, in my REPL and .lisp files, while I'm typing.

Thanks

I can't say for sure what is the problem, but here's a minimal
configuration that works for me. Give it a try and see if it works for
you too.

A couple notes that aren't directly related to slime or auto-complete:
- When using package.el to install packages, it's not necessary to
  manage `load-path' yourself - that's part of what package.el does for
  you.
- This is more personal preference, but I would probably suggest
  removing Marmalade from your package archives list and stick with GNU
  ELPA and MELPA. If you want less-frequently-changing packages than
  MELPA, give MELPA Stable (https://stable.melpa.org) a look.
- The various calls to `require' weren't necessary because the functions
  in question are autoloads (i.e. the relevant file will automatically
  be loaded the first time you use the function).

After adding the below to your init file, restart Emacs, visit a Lisp
file, and then invoke `M-x slime' to launch the SLIME REPL. You should
then get autocompletion in both the file-visiting buffer and the REPL.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))

(package-initialize)

(defvar my-packages
  '(auto-complete slime ac-slime)
  "List of packages to install automatically.")

(let ((need (delq nil (mapcar (lambda (pkg)
                                (unless (package-installed-p pkg)
                                  pkg))
                              my-packages))))
  (when need
    (package-refresh-contents)
    (mapc #'package-install need)))

What are you expecting auto-complete to do that it isn't? What language?
Version of Emacs? OS?

Why auto-complete doesn't work ?
Do I press TAB key to auto-complete ?

You can ask about auto-complete at http://emacs.stackexchange.com/

or its issue tracker:

What do you mean by "auto-complete", and in what
context does it not work? What do you want to do, that
doesn't happen, or, what happens, that you want to
happen differently or not at all?

If you start Emacs with 'emacs -Q' it won't read your
.emacs, so if you then get the desired behavior only
at that point do you start examining the config
file(s) to see if the error lies with you.

auto-complete

[dunnil]

I've enabled auto-complete in emacs for ruby language, but it
auto-complete everything, even files in the current directory, what may

be the problem.
yep, I'm a newbie to this golden but hard to reach land!


Here is my .emacs file content:

(setq auto-mode-alist  (cons '("\\.rb$" . ruby-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist  (cons '("\\.rhtml$" . html-mode)
auto-mode-alist))


(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.rb$" 'utf-8-dos)
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.rhtml$" 'utf-8-dos)

          (lambda()
