:completion company

This module adds completion support powered by company.

• Uses company-quickhelp for documentation tooltips
• Uses company-statistics to order results by usage frequency

Install

Specific languages may require additional setup. Some languages may have no completion support at all.

Check the README.org in that language's module for details.

Customization

This module is configured to suit my preferences. Here are some things you may want to change:

as-you-type completion

By default, I've disabled auto-completion. This is my preference. I prefer to invoke company when I need it by pressing C-SPC from insert mode. Some don't like this.

To make it automatic, you need to do two things:

1. Load company,
2. and change company-idle-delay to a non-nil float (the default is 0.5)

To do this, add the following to your modules/private/<username> module (remember, :private <username> needs to be added to init.el):

(require 'company)
(setq company-idle-delay 0.2
      company-minimum-prefix-length 3)

Troubleshooting

If completion isn't working for you, please consider the following before posting a bug report:

• Different languages will have different dependencies in order for auto-completion to work. Please look for the README.org in that language's respective module for details.
• Some languages don't have any auto-completion support.
• Check Customization, perhaps what you are expecting is popup-as-you-type completion, which is disabled by default.
