Emacs / TextMate code completion for Erlang?

Question

ESense looks dead; What are your guidelines for completing Erlang code in Emacs? This should not be a fantasy (ESense built an index from Erlang source); even something that just uses the Erlang functions module_info/0 and module_info/1 to introspect function names would help.

If not available in Emacs, can you recommend it for TextMate?

Answer 1

I have successfully used autocomplete.

• Website: 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) 

Answer 2

Do you already know about distel?

• See Bill Clementson for a summary of distel mode and its functions .

Answer 3

distel should be able to compete with function names using information from node
