Installation
Enable this module in your doom! block.
This module has no direct requirements, but some languages may have their own
requirements to fulfill before you get code completion in them (and some
languages may lack code completion support altogether). Run $ doom doctor to
find out if you're missing any dependencies.
TODO Usage

Code completion
By default, completion is triggered after a short idle period or with the C-SPC key. While the popup is visible, the following keys are available:
| Keybind | Description |
|---|---|
| C-n | Go to next candidate |
| C-p | Go to previous candidate |
| C-j | (evil) Go to next candidate |
| C-k | (evil) Go to previous candidate |
| C-h | Display documentation (if available) |
| C-u | Move to previous page of candidates |
| C-d | Move to next page of candidates |
| C-s | Filter candidates |
| C-S-s | Search candidates with helm/ivy |
| C-SPC | Complete common |
| TAB | Complete common or select next candidate |
| S-TAB | Select previous candidate |
Vim-esque omni-completion prefix (C-x)
In the spirit of Vim's omni-completion, the following insert mode keybinds are available to evil users to access specific company backends:
| Keybind | Description |
|---|---|
| C-x C-] | Complete etags |
| C-x C-f | Complete file path |
| C-x C-k | Complete from dictionary/keyword |
| C-x C-l | Complete full line |
| C-x C-o | Invoke complete-at-point function |
| C-x C-n | Complete next symbol at point |
| C-x C-p | Complete previous symbol at point |
| C-x C-s | Complete snippet |
| C-x s | Complete spelling suggestions |
Searching with multiple keywords
If the vertico module is enabled, users can perform code completion with multiple search keywords with an ampersand &.

TODO Configuration

Enable company backend(s) in certain modes
The set-company-backend! function exists for setting company-backends
buffer-locally in MODES, which is either a major-mode symbol, a minor-mode
symbol, or a list of either. BACKENDS are prepended to company-backends for
those modes.
(after! js2-mode
(set-company-backend! 'js2-mode 'company-tide 'company-yasnippet))
(after! sh-script
(set-company-backend! 'sh-mode
'(company-shell :with company-yasnippet)))
(after! cc-mode
(set-company-backend! 'c-mode
'(:separate company-irony-c-headers company-irony)))
To unset the backends for a particular mode, pass nil to it:
(after! sh-script
(set-company-backend! 'sh-mode nil))Troubleshooting
X-mode doesn't have code completion support or requires extra setup
There is no guarantee your language mode will have completion support.
Some, like lua-mode, don't have completion support in Emacs at all. Others may
requires additional setup to get code completion working. For instance,
go-mode requires guru to be installed on your system, and ruby-mode
requires that you have a Robe server running (M-x robe-start).
Check the relevant module's documentation for this kind of information.
No backends (or the incorrect ones) have been registered for X-mode
Doom expects every mode to have an explicit list of company-backends (and as
short a list as possible). This may mean you aren't getting all the completion
you want or any at all.
Check the value of company-backends (SPC h v company-backends) from that mode
to see what backends are available. Check the Configuration section for details
on changing what backends are available for that mode.
