can you remove auto-complete dependency?

[stardiviner]

Some people (like me) don't use auto-complete, we use company-mode instead. I hope you can refactor edbi to use completion-at-point-functions (which is used by Emacs default, and supported by company-mode). it is better solution.

Hi @stardiviner Yes. your advice is reasonable. I would do that.

[stardiviner]

great! thanks. Very powerful extension.

I think the best way is to use completion-at-point-functions.

Any update on this? I think a majority of Emacs users use company-mode nowadays.

[stardiviner]

@ReneFroger Yes, but company-mode support company-capf backend which uses completion-at-point-functions. You can check out github commits history. The latest commit is in 2014. You can send pull request.

I have implemented simple capf function. I confirmed company-mode completes the words.

But, because I'm not sure the specification of completion-at-point-function, I could not display some useful information beside the completion items, such as item types, column data-types.

Is it help company users?

[stardiviner]

I forgot to update this issue, I found a new extension company-edbi which works great. Maybe can merge together?

And maybe release a 0.1.3 version of edbi so both emacs-edbi and company-edbi would be installable from melpa stable? https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-edbi/issues/38
