Setup:

GUI version GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2015-07-25 on KAEL Compiled from EmacsW64.

Company, using the latest version of Company from MELPA

Windows 7 x64 bit.

Situation:

Propably I'm missing something. I couldn't figure it out with Google. After reorganizing my .emacs.d, I noticed I don't get any completion from buffers.

For example, I'm typing in the buffer foobarsentence.

And then start a new line below that, and typing fooba, I expected to get company completion suggestion that shows foobarsentecene, and I just need to press tab or RET.

But I see nothing. I couldn't find any company backend that's responsible for words-in-buffer completion. Anyone knows which company backend I mean?

  • If the problem occurred after you reorganized your init file, you should probably consult your old version to see what you may have missed when reorganizing.

  • I already thought of that. I moved things here and there, that I couldn't find it back. But thanks for the suggestion.

  • It's not a company backend, but you can get this behavior easily by turning on HippieExpand mode and integrating it with Company by adding company-complete to hippie-expand-try-functions-list.

That is company-dabbrev, named after the dabbrev command bound to M-/.

  • It is working with M-/, but not what I meant it. I added it to the list: (add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-dabbrev t), which is not working as given in the example above. When I'm typing something, I get a popup with the completion suggestions. The completions from company-dabbrev are missing. So I guess I miss some spot here?

  • There's also company-dabbrev-code for things outside comments and strings, maybe that's what you're after.

  • No, company-dabbrev works fine, but the issue is that I would get that into the completion popup window. Any suggestion, in order to achieve that?

  • Why are you marking this answer as accepted, then open a new question that's essentially the same?

  • Because your answer targets the company backend that's responsible for complete the words that are currently in the buffer. The another question targets how feed the popup completion from a backend.
