complete from words in all opened buffers, not just code parts.

[martin-kemp@brusseler.com]

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?

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.

Try

(setq company-dabbrev-code-everywhere t)

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