'yasnippet', for example. Lots of times, though, it is better just to work on your typing. For really long and annoying words, you can setup abbrevs. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

For "auto-complete", you can use abbrev, as mentioned, but I don't know if there is a "dynamic" auto-complete feature like in some of those M$ IDEs where you define a variable (or create a button, with old-school Hungarian notation to keep track of one zillion objects) and then just type the beginning of the name to get suggestions, and then hit enter to complete. I don't like that, because it is disruptive, and besides short names and typing (finger habits/muscle memory) will more than account for it (as I see it), but if you want it, I never saw any abbrev except for the static one that you manually put up in a file (or with interactive calls). Most likely, someone else on this list can tell you if such a feature exists. As for keyboard macros, there are those (not to be confused with Lisp macros), as in poor man's programming (like xmacroplay in X) but as you describe it, I'd say you don't want (keyboard) macros, but a template facility. Check out those URLs: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryTemplates http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/71623 As an example, this is what aptitude tells me about 'yasnippet': Description: A template system for Emacs YASnippet (yet another snippet extension for Emacs) is a template system for Emacs. It allows you to type an abbreviation and automatically expand the abbreviation into function templates. Bundled language templates includes: C, C++, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby, SQL, LaTeX, HTML, CSS and more.

Auto Complete is quite popular: http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/ Other packages are listed here (under Text Completion): http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryCompletion There are also a few per-language specialized packages, eg Jedi for Python: http://tkf.github.io/emacs-jedi/ or Robe or Rsense for Ruby, and so on... -- DW ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

It just guesses from the words you previously typed. Press M-/ again to change the choices for the word. It should work in recent versions of emacs without configuring anything. M-/ (translated from <escape> /) runs the command dabbrev-expand, which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `dabbrev.el'. It is bound to M-/. ------------------------------------------------------------ (dabbrev-expand ARG) Expand previous word "dynamically". Expands to the most recent, preceding word for which this is a prefix. If no suitable preceding word is found, words following point are considered. If still no suitable word is found, then look in the buffers accepted by the function pointed out by variable `dabbrev-friend-buffer-function'. A positive prefix argument, N, says to take the Nth backward *distinct* possibility. A negative argument says search forward. If the cursor has not moved from the end of the previous expansion and no argument is given, replace the previously-made expansion with the next possible expansion not yet tried. The variable `dabbrev-backward-only' may be used to limit the direction of search to backward if set non-nil. See also `dabbrev-abbrev-char-regexp' and C-M-/. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

The easiest way to start is with keyboard macros. You don't have to write any code. It's like a key logger and replay. To define start-kbd-macro end-kbd-macro To run call-last-kbd-macro To save name-kbd-macro ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
