I keep trying different orderings of these entries as the behaviour changes significantly, not surprisingly given the /greedy/ nature of completing-at-point, if I understand things correctly. Ideally, I would like a merged search for potential completions, such as I believe company-mode does if you group backends. Is it possible to specify a grouping or merge operation? Or is there a generalised capf that does this, I guess? Thank you, eric -- Professor Eric S Fraga, UCL; GnuPG: 0xc89193d8fffcf67d
