I want to list all items that hippie-expand
creates, then choose from them by moving the cursor and hitting RET. Is there any way to do this?
Here's what I'm using for this purpose:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-i") 'complete-with-helm)
(require 'ac-helm)
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)
(defun ac-complete-with-helm-auto ()
"Select `auto-complete' candidates by `helm'.
It is useful to narrow candidates."
(interactive)
(let ((c (ac-candidates)))
(if (= (length c) 1)
(ac-expand)
(when ac-completing
(with-helm-show-completion ac-point ac-last-point
(helm :sources 'helm-source-auto-complete-candidates
:buffer "*helm auto-complete*"))))))
(defun complete-with-helm ()
(interactive)
(ignore-errors
(call-interactively 'auto-complete)
(call-interactively 'ac-complete-with-helm-auto)))
Necessary packages are auto-complete
, helm
, and ac-helm
.
All of them you can get from the package manager.
