Subject: Tab completion and electric-indent-mode
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 13:59:36 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <N4lX61Z--3-2@tutanota.com> (raw)


Have been delving into tab completion and encountered the variable `tab-always-indent` where I can use the tab key for completion at point.    Does there exist any relationship between the variable `tab-always-indent` and `electric-indent-mode`?

Would `(setq tab-always-indent 'complete)` interfere with any functionality that one would usually want to have?
 
`electric-indent-mode` says that in does "On-the-fly Reindentation".  What does that mean, and how is it different to normal indentation?
