bug#48775: Making company mode with completion from opened files

[ludvig-faddeev]

Am currently working on a fortran project with company mode for completion.
Although I get emacs specific commands, I would like to get completion on words
for opened files.

If I have an opened file with the following text

--------

An inverse problem in science is the process of calculating from a set of observations the causal factors that produced them: for example, calculating an image in X-ray computed tomography, source reconstruction in acoustics, or calculating the density of the Earth from measurements of its gravity field. It is called an inverse problem because it starts with the effects and then calculates the causes. It is the inverse of a forward problem, which starts with the causes and then calculates the effects.

--------

Then if I start writing "tom", company-mode will show me completion with "tomography"

Sounds like you're looking for the backend `company-dabbrev-code`.

You can see which backend is used in a given buffer (at the current 
position) with 'M-x company-diag'.

You can change the backend priorities by customizing `company-backends`.

So I guess there's nothing to fix here, and I'm closing this bug report.

(I'm wondering what's up with all these bug reports from different
@gmx.com accounts named after famous mathematicians (mostly dead ones).
Is somebody just amusing themselves?

They all seem to come from the same IP address?  Same as Dimech's
reports?)

Maybe we have suddenly become popular in the ghost community.

How do you exactly do that?

'M-x customize-variable'?

Or with setq. In the simplest example:

   (setq company-backends '(company-dabbrev-code))

I'm actually a journalist trying to figure out whether the threats to our privacy
and security frequently denounced by the Free Software Movement is not restricted
to the abusive surveillance machines of proprietary software companies and governments,
but also within the Free Software Movement itself.
