I'm new to emacs and am trying to figure out how to make auto-complete mode auto complete while my cursor is inside quotes.
For example, while writing Python (I'm using emacs-jedi) I'd love to be able to autocomplete dictionary lookups. It doesn't even need to introspect my dictionary, just offer the word if it has already been used in the buffer.
data = {"test_auto_complete": 1}
data['test_
Thoughts?
AC does not complete when you are in face specified by ac-disable-faces. It is '(font-lock-comment-face font-lock-string-face font-lock-doc-face) by default. Remove font-lock-string-face from it or simply remove all:
(setq ac-disable-faces nil)
For string literals, use either dabbrev-expand or hippie-expand.
I keep them bound to M-/ and S-/ (ie. Meta / and Super /) YMMV
This won't go through the auto-complete interface, if you really want that, there will be a way, but is that really necessary?
Note: hippie-expand will expand/autocomplete from the filesystem, and other places (including everything dabbrev-expand does.)
dabbrev-expand will only expand from the open buffers and the abbrev dictionary.
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ac-dabbrev.el - this emacs lisp will make dabbrev a source for auto-complete
