slime-company

A company-mode completion backend for Slime, "The Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs".

Setup

The recommended way to install slime-company is via MELPA. If not using MELPA, put this file somewhere into your load-path (or just into slime-path/contribs).

To activate the contrib add it to the slime-setup call in your .emacs

(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-company))

You may also want to M-x customize-group slime-company to select the completion method (use fuzzy' if you like to complete package names), the major modes where slime-company` is automatically activated, what do do after a successful completion and how to display the argument list of a function.

These customization variables can also be set manually. An example with `use-package' looks like this:

(use-package slime-company
  :after (slime company)
  :config (setq slime-company-completion 'fuzzy
                slime-company-after-completion 'slime-company-just-one-space))

The following bindings for company-active-map will add the usual navigation keys to the completion menu:

(define-key company-active-map (kbd "\C-n") 'company-select-next)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "\C-p") 'company-select-previous)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "\C-d") 'company-show-doc-buffer)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "M-.") 'company-show-location)
