In company-mode, when I apply company-complete-selection, it completes variable but sometimes adds () at the end of it. Would it be possible to prevent this in all cases?

Example: enter image description here

which completed as: self.logged_jobs_to_process()

my setup:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
(setq company-auto-commit t)
(setq company-auto-complete t)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-k") 'company-complete)
(setq company-frontends
      '(company-pseudo-tooltip-unless-just-one-frontend
        company-preview-frontend
        company-echo-metadata-frontend))

M-x company-diag returns:

Emacs 28.0.50 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of 2021-09-01 on home
Company 0.9.13

company-backends: (company-bbdb company-semantic company-cmake company-capf company-clang company-files
              (company-dabbrev-code company-gtags company-etags company-keywords)
              company-oddmuse company-dabbrev)

Used backend: company-capf

  • Hey @alper. As a side note, you can safely remove company-auto-commit from your setup, because this is an obsolete name of company-auto-complete, which you also have enabled.

  • no problem, I understand that "was desperate" part :-) The Issue you had submitted was moved to the Discussions section there. [I'd do the same, but the maintainer was the first one around.] Overall, it's totally welcome to post/lookup Company questions at its Q&A section. Moreover, often you'd get a faster response there (f.i., as you'd noticed, the maintainer is very responsive).

[UPDATED]

After the output of M-x company-diag was posted it became clear, according to the Value of c-a-p-f: (lsp-completion-at-point), that lsp-mode is responsible for the completion in this case.

Eventually, after contacting both lsp-mode and python-lsp-server maintainers, it was clarified that this lsp-mode setting has to be disabled to prevent completion with parentheses:

(setq lsp-enable-snippet nil)

[EARLIER ANSWER, suitable for the company-clang backend.]

I assume that the backend in action is company-clang.

(If not, add the output of M-x company-diag to your question.)

Then, the addition of the parentheses can be prevented by disabling this company-clang user option:

(setq company-clang-insert-arguments nil)

But note that it's going to disable insertion of arguments.

For example,

enter image description here

Completes to

enter image description here

only if company-clang-insert-arguments is enabled.

  • Output for M-x company-diag is added. I have tried (setq company-clang-insert-arguments nil) but still it adds () to the end for example for the Variables that are assigned to None, completed as variable_name()

    I'd do so, yes. And, for reference, I see you already did. And if you find a solution it'd be nice if you post it in here and in Company's Q&A (for future generations so to speak :-)

    Please note that doing (setq lsp-enable-snippet nil) solved it
