Emacs/TextMate code completion for Erlang?

Question

ESense looks dead; what are your recommendations for Erlang code completion in Emacs? It doesn't have to be fancy (ESense built an index from the Erlang source); even something that just uses Erlang's module_info/0 and module_info/1 functions for introspection of function names would help.

If one isn't available in Emacs, can you recommend one for TextMate?

Answer 1

I've used auto-complete successfully.

• site: http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/
• code: https://github.com/m2ym/auto-complete/

and added this to my .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/dev/emacs/auto-complete")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "~/dev/emacs/auto-complete/dict")
(ac-config-default)

; ... after loading erlang-mode

(add-to-list 'ac-modes 'erlang-mode)

Do you know about distel already?
