Therefore I have 2 questions (at the moment): 1. C-h f and C-h v With 'emacs -Q', these commands with point on a function or variable (still) propose the symbol at point as a default, e.g. ,------------------------------------ | Describe function (default defvar): `------------------------------------ but this stopped working when I load my .emacs. "Who" is in charge of showing this default value? 2. auto-complete popup window I remember in the back of my head that I disabled a (generic) option to popup help windows or so - but I don't remember the name of this option anymore and thus don't find it in my .emacs. Does such an option exist and whats its name? Could this be the reason that auto-complete-mode stopped working?
