helm-company's Issues

Replace company with helm-company

Apparently, auto-complete is buggy and it affects ac-helm. Luckily, you also make this package. So is it possible to do the same for helm-company, also to make this package more feature-complete? I intend to replace auto-complete with company.

Compiler warnings while installing

It seems that helm-company uses an obsolete variable. I get the following warnings when installing from MELPA:

In helm-company-run-show-doc-buffer:
helm-company.el:125:4:Warning: `display-buffer-function' is an obsolete
    variable (as of 24.3); use `display-buffer-alist' instead.

In helm-company-run-show-location:
helm-company.el:131:4:Warning: `display-buffer-function' is an obsolete
    variable (as of 24.3); use `display-buffer-alist' instead.

helm-company does not respet upper/lowercase while completing

When completing with helm-company, candidates i choose for completion are always completed lowercase. That might be right most of the time in English, but is not in other languages.

So if I want to complete a chosen candidate, that beginn with an uppercase, I would like helm-company to complete this with the Casing that has been chosen during typing.

E.G. I write Com..... and want it to be completed to Company. Helm-company just gives me company.

Incorrect match replacements

Given this scenario (Python, but I get similar results given similar candidate contexts in other languages):

foo_bar_baz = "ok"
foo_spam_eggs = "ok"

foo^

My cursor is at ^. When I invoke company-complete, I'm presented with the short list of two candidates as expected, and when I select one, the resulting completion is also foo_bar_baz. However, when I invoke helm-company and choose one of the candidates, I get ffoo_bar_baz, where the first character is duplicated.

My related configuration is:

(use-package helm-company :ensure t)
(use-package company
  :ensure t
  :diminish company-mode
  :init (global-company-mode 1)
  :config
  (progn
    (dolist (package '(company-go
                       company-inf-ruby
                       company-tern
                       company-math
                       company-restclient))
      (use-package package
        :ensure t
        :demand t
        :init (add-to-list 'company-backends package)))

    ;; Use Helm to complete suggestions
    (bind-keys :map company-active-map
               ("\C-d" . company-show-doc-buffer)
               ("C-:" . helm-company))
    (bind-keys :map company-mode-map
               ("C-:" . helm-company))
    (setq company-echo-delay 0
          company-tooltip-minimum-width 30
          company-idle-delay nil)))

It seems as if helm-company-action-insert is failing to calculate the correct length to replace. I haven't found any other cases of this online, and I'm only making slow progress debugging it myself. Any ideas?

Reserve company features in helm-company

When in company-mode, pressing C-w opens the source file for symbol at point, pressing <f1> to display documentation.

helm-company should add similar features, by adding actions to helm (i.e. first action to go source, second action show doc).

<tab> still does not cancel show-doc or show-location

In ac-helm, if you move up/down, the doc buffer will be cancel and go back to the current buffer. In normal Helm, pressing while the doc buffer is opened would cancel it. This still doesn't happen helm-company.

helm-company insert wrong completion

When I type "cus" and press M-: (helm-company) and select "custom-set-variables" the result is "cuscustom-set-variables". Current version from MELPA.

helm-match-plugin has been renamed

Upgraded to helm-20150824.449 and helm-company stopped loading. I don't see anything offhand in helm-company using anything defined in the helm-match-plugin but the file was renamed and the corresponding functions got renamed s/-mp-/-mm-/.

Still poking but just the following diff got things loading.

Required package helm-1.5.9 is unavailable

It looks like this package requires a specific version of helm or otherwise it complains. I usually install from a git clone, and I am getting this warning.

helm-company-run-show-location is bound to helm-execute-persistent-action

Because of this, when pressing <tab> on a candidate, the helm completion buffer changes to the source buffer of that candidate; there's no way to go back other than abort current helm-company with C-g.

The correct behaviour should be the same as helm-M-x: when helm-execute-persistent-action is executed on a candidate, it shows the doc, executed again, it cancels the doc buffer. I bind helm-execute-persistent-action to <tab> (the default is C-z), so when I press <tab>, the doc buffer shows up, press <tab> again, it disappears.

Same thing should be applied for helm-company-run-show-location. These two functions should be put in helm action menu: when helm-select-action is executed (which is bound to <tab> in default Helm), a list of available action should be listed. User can quicky select first, second and third action with <return>, C-e and C-j respectively. Using this feature from Helm, user won't have to bind any key for these new features.

Link to "maintained" fork results in 404

Your README refers to manuel-uberti/helm-company as the maintained fork, but this link now results in a 404.

Just a side note: I discovered your repository through MELPA, whose link for the project is Sodel-the-Vociferous/helm-company. Perhaps this is the "new" maintained fork?

helm-company cannot complete the first time

It's the same thing that happened in ac-helm:

yasuyk/ac-helm#3

Missing tag 0.1.1

Current version seems to be 0.1.1, but there is no corresponding tag.

Use helm-company instead of company-mode completion popup

This is more of a question than an issue related to helm-company(which is working great, thanks for this package).

Whenever I am typing, company-mode starts completing showing the completion popup. Of course I can press the keybinding I set for helm-company, but is it possible to hide the completion popup entirely and just complete through helm-company?

helm-company should not show popup when there's only one candidate

Same issue used to happen in ac-helm: yasuyk/ac-helm#4

Unclosing parenthesis

This function has unbalanced parenthesis in the latest commit:

(defun helm-company-action-insert (candidate)
"Insert CANDIDATE."
(delete-char (- (length (helm-attr 'company-prefix))))
(insert candidate)
;; for GC
(helm-attrset 'company-candidatecompany--auto-completion

complete with junk

using emacs -Q, I seem to detect a bug of helm-company.

(defun helm-company ()
  "Select `company-complete' candidates by `helm'.
It is useful to narrow candidates."
  (interactive)
  (unless company-candidates
    (company-complete))
  (when company-point
    (let ((begin (- company-point (length company-prefix))))
      (with-helm-show-completion begin company--point-max
        (helm :sources 'helm-source-company
              :buffer  "*helm company*"
              :candidate-number-limit helm-company-candidate-number-limit)))))

suppose you use C-: to complete "(poi" and (company-complete) is called. After (company-complete) the buffer will become "(point" because it is the sole prefix. Finally if "point-max" is chosen, the buffer becomes "(popoint-max". It seems that however many company-complete completes, the same amount of junk will leave ahead.

Temporarily I managed to fix this by replacing the unless with

(unless company-candidates
  (company--begin-new)
  (setq company-point (point)
        company--point-max (point-max)))

Can you reproduce this problem or figure out why that happens?
