I got it "working" by replacing the two calls to tooltip-show to vj-tooltip-show: (defun vj-tooltip-show (str) (interactive) (setq header-line-format (replace-regexp-in-string "\n" ", " str))) Maybe you could detect if tooltip is possible and the fallback to my function. It would be nice with some cleanup so that header-line-format is set to "" when there are no dynamic expansions possible. Is it suppossed to show only one suggestion? I would like to use dabbrev-expand with a prefix argument. This would make the mode even better. I also think i would prefer if it did not fiddle with the RET keybinding (customizable?). -- Vagn Johansen
