I'm new to org-mode and really need to figure out how to get completion working for stuff like :tags
and #+
options. Apparently org uses pcomplete as the completion backend. Indeed M-x pcomplete
(helm) does offer a buffer with long list of completions for #+ (which disappears if you try to expand the buffer). You then have to click on one of the options, which feels pretty kind of clumsy.
Is there a feature complete and mature alternative to pcomplete? I'm used to completions just popping up as I type, and would ideally like to get the same functionality in Org. Alternately, am I using pcomplete wrong?
Update
Here's the full code:
(defun my-org-mode-hook ()
(add-hook 'completion-at-point-functions 'pcomplete-completions-at-point nil t))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'my-org-mode-hook)
It works!
