What happened to org-complete?

What happened to org-complete?

[Dave Abrahams]

Hi all,

I used to have 

  (define-key org-mode-map "\M-/" 'org-complete)

in my .emacs.  Now that there is no org-complete function, what should I
bind to `M /' in org buffers?

Thanks,

I think pcomplete, normally bound to M-TAB:

,----
| pcomplete is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `pcomplete.el'.
| 
| (pcomplete &optional INTERACTIVELY)
| 
| Support extensible programmable completion.
| To use this function, just bind the TAB key to it, or add it to your
| completion functions list (it should occur fairly early in the list).

Thanks for the info, Nick

Oops, that doesn't do what I want.  Is there a way to get pcomplete to
fall back to use dabbrev-expand when it can't complete something another
way?  I'd RTFM but pcomplete seems to be completely undocumented!

[No wonder I didn't stumble across pcomplete: Doesn't every OS GUI bind
`M-TAB' to a window switcher by default?]

The default Meta key in Mac OS is Option, and window switcher is
Command-Tab. So while it's not a completely useless default, it does
leave 2 out of 3 major OSes out in the cold.

Yes, but of course, like I'm sure many other people, I bind Command to
Meta so my fingers don't get totally confused when switching platforms
;-)
