How to turn off company mode in org mode?

Question

I'm using spacemacs and tried to turn off company mode in org mode while keeping it in other major modes. I've tried the following:

(global-company-mode '(not org-mode))

but it's not working.

Answer 1

Disable from org-mode-hook (this method will work with pretty much any globalized minor mode and major mode):

(defun jpk/org-mode-hook ()
  (company-mode -1))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'jpk/org-mode-hook)

Or use company's configuration variable:

(setq company-global-modes '(not org-mode))

Answer 2

At the Spacemacs configuration layer level you can disable auto-completion layer for a set of layers with the following line in dotspacemacs-configuration-layers (for instance disabling auto-completion for both org and git)

(auto-completion :disabled-for org git)
