I work on a large monolith of a project. As such, my RubyMine suggestions while typing take a long time. Long enough that I always complete the word before any suggestion pops up. I have to stop typing and wait about a second before I will receive any suggestions. This makes the feature essentially worthless, as I always type fast enough that I won't get any autocomplete.
I have tried increasing RubyMine's memory. Is there anything else I can do, or is this just something you have to deal with working on a large project?
Go to Preferences (Cmd + ,) => Editor > General => Code Completion and set the 'Autopopup documentation in (ms):' to 0 as well as the 'Autopopup in (ms):' to 0.

Suddenly, the way to analyze and display errors in vscode changed. From today it marks the entire function block as an error, which is annoying because it becomes very confusing.
I do not know if without intention I pressed a shortcut, or some combination of keys. Does anyone know how to return to the previous mode?
Thanks a lot.
Before LSP, the error range was being accidentally truncated to a single line. With LSP the complete region is used, which means you now see the actual range produced by the analyzer.
Turning off LSP is only a short-term fix as it will soon became the default (and only) option, so if you think the shorter ranges are better, please file an issue at https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk for some discussion. Thanks!
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to emacs. I recently installed Doom emacs and I've been really enjoying it. One thing that I'm struggling to find out is how do I quickly access/select on of the actions that are given to me by lsp-mode (I assume it's lsp-ui). I've attached a screenshot - the actions that I'm referring to are on the right-hand side.
Quick side questions:
When I jump to definition (spc-c-d) how do I jump back? Do I just kill the buffer?
Using ivy, how can I easily go through the list? - using control-n is a bit hard
You can come back to the previous buffer using CTRL+O
You can go down or up in the list using CTRL+j or CTRL+k
There are some tricks to get the answer:
first, try to find the action or function you know.
example 1. "M-x action-you-want-to-know"
example 2. "C-h k then-type-the-shortcut-key-you-want-to-search"
second, try to get the answer from project issues
The answer to your question:
1: press "C-o" jump backward
2: Try to input multi keywords in your search field to narrow down the search scope, just like increment search.
If you get too many lines after ivy-search some keyword you input, that means you donot know what you want to search, right?
Is there a way to make jedi-vim automatically start the completion after typing any letter without pressing < C-Space >?
Is it maybe possible to bind
let g:jedi#completions_command = "< C-Space >"
command to every single letter while keeping their typing function?
Any suggestions are welcome.
No. Not yet. Something like this is planned, but we will need a proper async server first.
You could of course hack something together, but that would be painstakingly slow. So don't.
If you really want that, go and YouCompleteMe for now: https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe. It's using Jedi as well for Python, so it's pretty much the same.
I'm tinkering about switching my IDE to emacs. (I'm still an emacs newbie.)
The problem is that I customized my IDE quite well and I'd regret to leave my helpers behind.
Let me explain:
Shows the current open files/buffers, allows fast switching with a hotkey (C-1, C-2, ...)
Shows the most recent texts on the "clipboard" or inserted by complete (no. 4), text insertable with a hotkey (C-b 1, C-b 2, ...) Last inserted shown in bold, insertable with C-`
The last inserted complete (no. 4) text, insertable with M-`
Autocomplete-ish list, gathered from all open files, regardless of their type with some magical logic. text insertable with a hotkey (M-1, M-2, ...)
I guess emacs has such features, but I'm a visual type I'd like to see what I have available.
Of course actual hotkeys don't matter much, but as you see having all that info visible makes it easy to hit the spot with the least keypresses.
My pain is that there is a plethora of emacs extensions providing various features, checking all seems to take a lifetime.
My question is:
are there any emacs extensions to achieve similar looks and behavour?
as I'm a programmer, which extensions could I take as a base to assemble something like this?
Thanks!
Elaborating a bit more:
I’m a python dev, so most of the code I’m writing is python. Add some HTML JS CSS XML to the picture.
One important thing is that completion needs to work across filetype boundaries, because python / HTML(template) / XML(config) / doctest identifiers are cross-referenced. It’s a huge pain with some IDEs that completion works only for python filetypes.
I have a lot of same named files but in different folders, like init.py, configure.zcml, etc. It seems to be a pain to switch between those by filename.
Better said that’s a list of recently inserted text. To be reused by the fewest keys as possible. Usually when coding I’m reusing the same identifiers/whatever within the same task. So it’s handy to have them listed instead having to retype the starting x chars to get completion again.
Usually best use of this feature is when changing/refactoring code. Like adding one more extra feature and the identifier is needed several times over the place.
TL;DR
Learn keyboard macros. Learn yasnippet.
Autocomplete mode is probably similar to what you have.
Get acquainted with emacs kill-ring before trying to change it, it wants to be your friend. Then you'll know what to look for when you DO want to change it.
Long Version
Shows the current open files/buffers, allows fast switching with a hotkey (C-1, C-2, ...)
You have three options for this.
My personal preference is to have all source files open at all times. So I don't need a visual list of open buffers. Whenever I want to switch to a file I hit C-= (which I've bound to iswitchb-buffer) and type a couple of unique letters. It's common to constantly switch between the same two buffers so I also bound C-backspace to previous-buffer.
Another option I can recommend is tabbar. It's not exactly like your setup, but it displays a list of open buffers (just like webpages in a browser) and it has functions for cycling through the tabs, so it shouldn't be hard to reproduce your C-number key bindings.
You could use speedbar or ecb. They would be the most similar to your current visual configuration, but I'd argue the other options are more efficient.
Shows the most recent texts on the "clipboard" or inserted by complete (no. 4), text insertable with a hotkey (C-b 1, C-b 2, ...) Last inserted shown in bold, insertable with...
I see you've sort of mixed the clipboard with completion history. When it comes to emacs, yasnippet and autocomplete are just so good you're better off going with them for completion (see below).
Emacs clipboard is called the kill-ring. I'm sure you know of C-y and M-y, so you can always recover anything you've cut in the past. Unfortunately, I don't know of any packages that constantly display the kill ring or allow you to yank a specific part of it (though that shouldn't be too hard to write), but at least you know what to search for (kill-ring).
The last inserted complete (no. 4) text, insertable with M-`
I'll be honest, I don't see that much use in this. If you have to repetitively insert text, you should learn keyboard macros. In fact, you should learn keyboard macros anyway, they're the first reason I got hooked to emacs.
Autocomplete-ish list, gathered from all open files, regardless of their type with some magical logic. text insertable with a hotkey (M-1, M-2, ...)
Emacs had many great completion options. In your case, the best one is probably autocomplete-mode. It pops-up completion options (much like your separate completions window), and I think it allows for quick selection of a specific option (like your M-number shortcuts). Also it has several different ways of deciding which completions to offer you (it calls them "sources") and one of them is to gather from all buffers.
In addition to that you have yasnippet, and I couldn't possibly recommend it enough. Seriously. Learning to use it and writing your own snippets will change the way you write code. You'll become a mage whose fingers produce pages of code flowing through your screen in blazing speeds. Use yasnippet!
Once you have it configured, every 3 or 4 keys you press will generate a line (or more) of code for you.
After all that, if you still miss something from your previous editor you'll write it yourself. :-)
Your setup looks exactly like https://github.com/emacsmirror/ecb.
To me at least, since I don't use side-bars:)
You should take a look at the extension speedbar. I have installed this extension, but I rarely use it even for a very large project.
I'm a relatively new user to R and Emacs and was wondering if Emacs could automatically correct any R commands that i've typed wrong. I know about the alt-/, but I was more thinking along the lines of if i type read.tale, it corrects it to read.table.
Also, I was using emacs the other day and whenever i typed read.table, it showed the usage options (that bit from the help file) in the bottom bit of the window-the minibuffer?. anyway, its not there now, and i don't know what i did to make it go away.
Thanks for your help
Independently of emacs, you can examine your code with the checkUsage function in the codetools package. For example:
> foo <- function(data){
+ read.tale(data,file='temp.txt')
+ }
> checkUsage(foo)
<anonymous>: no visible global function definition for ´read.tale´
Also, you can emacs autocompletion functions (e.g. hippie-expand or dabbrev-expand) to fill in the rest of recently used function and variable names.
If you aint married to emacs, you should give Komodo edit with sciviews-R / sciviews-K a try.
So far it´s the best auto-completion coding I found for R. At least to me the configuration was much easier than emacs, particularly because of binding problems with my exotic (swiss) keyboard. sciviews-R / Komodo
EDIT: I realize this thread is still being read. So in meantinem I got to give it up for RStudio. It has really become THE editor for everyday use for most people. Nice autocompletion, available on all major OS and a really nice context help. Plus some easy export of pdf graphics and much much more. On top R Studio is easy to install – no need to worry how to fire up R from the editor.
