Version 0.10.1 of package Company has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Company describes itself as: ================================= Modular text completion framework ================================= More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/company.html ## Summary: Company is a modular completion framework. Modules for retrieving completion candidates are called backends, modules for displaying them are frontends. Company comes with many backends, e.g. `company-etags'. These are distributed in separate files and can be used individually. Enable `company-mode' in all buffers with M-x global-company-mode. For further information look at the documentation for `company-mode' (C-h f company-mode RET). If you want to start a specific backend, call it interactively or use `company-begin-backend'. For example: M-x company-abbrev will prompt for and insert an abbrev. To write your own backend, look at the documentation for `company-backends'. Here is a simple example completing "foo": (defun company-my-backend (command &optional arg &rest ignored) ## Recent NEWS: # History of user-visible changes ## 2023-10-06 (0.10.1) * Fix upgrading from 0.9.13 when the package is already loaded ([#1406](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1406)). ## 2023-10-04 (0.10.0) * `company-echo-show` (and related featuers, most importantly, `company-echo-metadata-frontend`) now should stop interfering with the echo area and ElDoc when the current backend returns no `meta`. * New user option `company-tooltip-annotation-padding` ([#1376](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/discussions/1376)). * When a snippet name is typed in full, completion does not abort now (only affects completions which have `snippet` kind), ([#205](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/205)). * `company-show-doc-buffer` now can accept a prefix argument to toggle a new variable `company-auto-update-doc`. When this variable is non-nil, it keeps the documentation buffer up-to-date whenever the selection changes ([#1331](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/discussions/1331)). * `company-auto-commit` and `company-auto-commit-chars` have been renamed to `company-insertion-on-trigger` and `company-insertion-triggers` respectively ([#1270](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1270)). * New command `company-complete-common-or-show-delayed-tooltip` ([#1214](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/discussions/1214)). * Faces `company-scrollbar-fg` and `company-scrollbar-bg` have been renamed to `company-tooltip-scrollbar-thumb` and `company-tooltip-scrollbar-track` respectively. * Better compatibility with `visual-line-mode` ([#1257](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1257)). * Better compatibility with `org-indent-mode` ([#1252](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1252)). * New backend command, `deprecated`. It returns whether the completion item is deprecated or not. * `company-tooltip-common` highlightings with non-prefix and prefix matching backends are more compatible: if the non-prefix matching backend's completions all have a common part, and so the current prefix can be expanded with `company-complete-common`, that part is now also highlighted with that face ([#519](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/519)). * `company-yasnippet` respects the `condition` directive in snippets ([#1179](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1179)). * New user option `company-icon-margin`. * `company-show-numbers` has been renamed to `company-show-quick-access` ([#1115](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1115)). New user options `company-quick-access-keys` and `company-quick-access-modifier`. New command `company-complete-quick-access`. `company-show-numbers-function` has been deprecated and its default value changed to `nil`. Use `company-quick-access-hint-function` instead. `company--show-numbers` has been deprecated. * `company-complete-number` has been renamed to `company-complete-tooltip-row` ([#1118](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1118)). * New faces `company-tooltip-quick-access` and `company-tooltip-quick-access-selection` ([#303](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/303)). * Default colors for dark themes have been changed ([#949](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/949)). * Default key bindings have been changed, moving `company-select-next` and `company-select-previous` from `M-n` and `M-p` to `C-n` and `C-p` ([#1098](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1098)). The bound commands are also changed: `company-select-next-or-abort` and `company-select-previous-or-abort`, to match the `<up>` and `<down>` bindings. The previous bindings still work, but show a warning and will be disabled soon. To undo that change locally, do: ```el (with-eval-after-load 'company (dolist (map (list company-active-map company-search-map)) (define-key map (kbd "C-n") nil) (define-key map (kbd "C-p") nil) ... ...
