Hm, then this probably shouldn't be the first example on the wiki.

And its interface is nice, SPC as normal, TAB for completing/cycling candicates. This way pabbrev does its best not to interfere normal typing. In contrast, in predictive-mode, SPC does the completing, which makes it rather diffcult for blindly typing, i.e., fast typing. -- William _______________________________________________ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources
