I am new to emacs.I was trying to add an auto-complete for systemverilog.I tried using marmalade repo autocomplete (http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/auto-complete).I copied the entire files into
"C:\emacs.emacs.d".
I installed using
M-x package-install [RET] auto-complete [RET]
But still autocomplete is not working.I read many documents but was notable to solve the issue
Can anyone suggest me an autocomplete file for systemverilog and explain hoe to install that file.My OS is Windows 8.1
If you have Verilog-mode already installed, autocomplete is bound to Alt-Tab by default, it should just work. Or have you already tried that shortcut and it didn't work?

Recently I pass to Emacs org because is really convenient to me to write note there.
So I installed all packages I needed (principally ORG and EVIL) but I didn't understand how to setup everything.
I installed emacs from brew without using cask, I linked it, and I'm sure that I'm using the version that I installed (26.1).
So in my ~/ folder I have a .emacs file in which I set up evil mode, and I have a /.emacs.d/ in which I have a lot of file. The problem is: whatever I wrote in a ~/.emacs.d/init.el seems doesn't effect emacs.
So I said "whatever, I'm going on github and I installed some complete configurations and then I customized them myself". I tried to install these two configurations.
https://github.com/hrs/dotfiles
https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs?files=1
But for some reason, after doing exactly what they say on README.org
nothing happens.
In particular the second link, after install and open emacs said I need to have ~/.cask/.cask.el but I don't have it.
Advice?
this is my first post here I need your help to use flycheck
I use last version of fedora
I didnt find this file
$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el.
so I modified this
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/desktop-entry-mode-init.el
then I enter to Emacs and press
ESC
:
M-x (alt-x as I believe)
(the problem comes heres)
doesnt show package-install or list-packages commands
as is shown here
http://www.flycheck.org/en/latest/user/installation.html
I dont know if its right or not what Im doing. Im almost 2 hours trying to install this checker, hope you help me
Update
Apparently, the auto-complete package is not the culprit.
Emacs fails to download melpa archive.
A quick google search indicates that this is a reappearing problem both on windows and unix machines.
As there are already threads concerning failed to download 'melpa' archive (none of which helped unfortunately) this thread may or may not be closed.
Inital Question
I'm trying to set up emacs for Common Lisp.
I installed sbcl and the slime package.
Some time ago I used to have auto completion for Common Lisp keywords in emacs such that - while typing - it suggested a word via a greyed out completion (TAB for acceptance) or via drop down or both. (I can't remember exactly.)
I'm struggling to get this working again.
At https://github.com/purcell/ac-slime it is suggested to first install auto-complete but when I type package-list-packages there is no such package. (But there are plenty named auto-complete-*).
(I set up Melpa with:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")))
The provided link http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/ is dead as well.M-x install-package [RET] auto-complete [RET] also fails. Emacs says: [No match]
So my question is:
If there is no auto-complete package anymore, what is a good way to set up Common Lisp auto completion in emacs in the way mentioned above (greyed out word or dropdown)?
The current home-page for auto-complete is https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete
Installing it should be enough to allow you to use ac-slime (there is also a completion version using company).
Here is how I got it to work.
Download the .ZIP archive with repository here.
Unzip
Run M-x package-install-file
On the prompt, specify the path to the downloaded repository and the file named auto-complete.el.
Make sure that installation returns something along the lines of "Successful"
Add this line to your Emacs initialization file (.emacs):
(ac-config-default)
To auto-complete in SLIME, follow similar step to install ac-slime (requires SLIME and Auto-complete)
P.S. There is another package called company (stands for Complete Anything), which is quite good as an alternative. I am trying it out now. Getting it to work was very simple.
I recently installed Arch, and the version of emacs that it has comes with an aggressive auto-completion feature that doesn't let me create a new file. It is also very annoying. How do I get rid of it?
I have Archlinux too, but it didn't come with emacs. I think that you have installed this module: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete
Check it, and if this is the case, uninstall the addition.
My Emacs editor can't work with ibus chinese input method, ibus shows "No input window" when cursor is on Emacs.
I run Emacs with alias like LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" emacs, It actually works before, but I have no idea why it doesn't work now, maybe some system update I think.
About my system: Gentoo Linux with Gnome3, I installed Emacs23 and Emacs24, and both of them can't work with ibus now.
PS: Ibus works on other programs, Emacs can display chinese characters well.
It seems the problem only happen on Gentoo. Because system update clear up some fonts. The solution is to install the missing fonts:
emerge media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi x11-apps/bdftopcf media-fonts/font-alias media-fonts/font-util
Then after logout and re-login, I can use input method again.
I solve this problem via installing ibus.el and this seems like emacs GTK UI's problem.
make sure that ibus is configured correctly by opening the default text editor for your distribution (Mousepad, Leafpad...?), typing control-space and seeing if you can enter Chinese. If you cant you may have to install a Chinese input method or add an input method in the ibus settings.
next make sure you have the emacs, ibus mode installed. If you are using a Debian based distribution, the package you want to install will be listed as 'ibus-el'.
After installing ibus-el usually control-space will activate and allow you to cycle through your input methods; however, on some of my machines I have to help emacs to get ibus mode started by typing M-x ibus-mode.
