The thing really was born on a bus -- a Google shuttle bus, to be precise, the kind that ferries Googlers between San Francisco and Mountain View. The kind that comes with built-in wifi.
Kevin Gibbs , a Stanford grad and a former IBM engineer, had joined Google in part because he liked the shuttle service that the young company provided its employees. And he liked the 20 percent time, too: the flexibility Google used to offer its engineers to spend a fifth of their time working on projects of special interest to them.
The junior software engineer, it turned out, was interested in URL completion. He wanted to find a way to take advantage of the technological affordances of the time -- big data, JavaScript, the broadening consumer use of high-speed Internet -- to make web navigation more efficient. So Gibbs decided to spend his own 20 percent time working on a URL predictor. As a user typed a URL into a browser -- this was before Google helped to merge the URL and the web search into one interface -- Gibbs's system would analyze Google's enormous corpus of web content, and then autocomplete the options that remained.
Type in "theatl--" in Gibbs's system today, say, and Google would complete the thing to "theatlantic. Gibbs showed his new feature to his coworkers. And one of them -- Gibbs now can't recall who -- said, "That's cool, what if you did it for search?
From there, Gannes reports , Google's internal infrastructure took over. Auto Complete on nXML-mode. Auto Complete for Perl. Auto Complete for Typescript. Auto Complete for VBA. Auto Complete for org-mode. Other extensions are found in AutoCompleteSources. If you are using the current development version of AutoComplete 0. Furthermore, if you are using the semantic source, make sure that you have required semantic-ia in your init file.
If you do not then it falls back to a method of gathering the tags that appears to not check the semantic cache slowing the whole thing up rather tremendously especially with omnicompletion. Since it is not documented yet here is an example of how it works:. Not terribly difficult but it took me a bit to puzzle out what needed to be done so I thought I would share my results.
AndyStewart has included the omnicompletion bits into his init file. Integrating Rope and Yasnippet with Auto Complete. Use company backend for Auto-Complete. Non lisp-hacker here. How can I add my own completions, and make auto-complete-mode start automatically for any opened file?
Thanks for the explanation! CompletionUI includes many other user-interfaces besides the tooltip, implements an auto-completion-mode, and includes many other features besides. My aim was to make a swiss-army knife of completion user-interface code, so no one else would have to go through the same tedium!
Would you be interested in adding your overlay display code to CompletionUI? AutoComplete stops working as soon as I enable Flymake. Any debugging hints?
What about completion with candidates from other buffers? I think auto-complete should have multiple ac-prefix, and then complete those all. Can anyone explain how the ac-omni-completion-sources replacement works? I am not understanding how to use this ac-prefix stuff. This was working in 0. I googled this message, and found the following at [ 1 ] :.
Is my old version of emacs the source of the error, and if it is, should the manual be corrected to list a newer required version of emacs at least This shorthand is called relative paths, because they are defined wait for it… relative to your current location on the file system. Unix knows a few shortcuts to refer to file system related directories, and you will come across them often.
Whenever you see a. I could use absolute paths:. The first.. Text editors are a crucial tool for any Linux user, but regardless of your operating system, if you use DataLad, you will occasionally find yourself in your default text editor to write a commit message to describe a change you performed in your DataLad dataset. From the smoldering ashes, this is the breakdown:. Powerful and light; lots of features and many plugins; steep learning curve.
Two resources to help get the most out of vim are the vimtutor program and vimcasts. If you accidentally enter vim unprepared, typing :q will get you out of there. Whenever you use the command line on a Unix-based system, you do that in a command-line interpreter that is referred to as a shell.
The shell is used to start commands and display the output of those commands. It also comes with its own primitive yet surprisingly powerful scripting language. This is relevant, because they share mostly a common syntax. The Z shell zsh comes with many additional features, the highlights being: shared history across running shells, smarter tab-completion, spelling correction, and better theming.
One of the best features ever invented is tab completion. Imagine your favorite animal sitting on your shoulder. Listen to that animal. Tab completion autocompletes commands and paths when you press the Tab key.
If there are multiple matching options, pressing Tab twice will list them.
