Getting emacs-rails to autocomplete

rubyonrails-talk

Hi

Using emacs-rails mode, tab should auto-complete snippets using the indent-or-complete function; for me it doesn't.

doing M-x help b gives me:

<tab> indent-or-complete ;; some more key bindings TAB ruby-indent-command

I presume the TAB binding is overriding the <tab> binding - any ideas on how I can change the order? If I do M-x indent-or-complete then the snippet expands as expected.

I've tried doing things such as forcing it in my .emacs file by doing local-set-key etc.

My emacs is Gnu 21.4.1

TIA, Roland

Try using Emacs 22.0.50.1, compiled from CVS. I'm using it as my dev environment (ruby or not) for years and works great.

According to Peak Obsession you where not the first one to struggle with this problem.

Thanks, I might try that.

The only thing is - I have emacs 21 at home where tab complete works fine, and emacs 21 at work where it doesn't. So it does work in 21, there must just be some configuration differences that I am unaware of.

Cheers, Roland
