;;; Commentary:
;;
;; company-tng (Tab and Go) allows you to perform completion using just TAB.
;; Pressing it will both select the next completion candidate in the list and
;; insert it into the buffer (or make it look like it's inserted, in fact).
;;
;; It cycles the candidates like `yank-pop' or `dabbrev-expand' or Vim:
;; Pressing TAB selects the first item in the completion menu and inserts it in
;; the buffer. Pressing TAB again selects the second item and replaces the
;; "inserted" item with the second one. This can continue as long as the user
;; wishes to cycle through the menu. You can also press S-TAB to select the
;; previous candidate, of course.
;;
;; The benefits are that you only have to use one shortcut key and there is no
;; need to confirm the entry.
;;
;; Usage:
;;
;; Enable `company-tng-mode' with:
;;
;; (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'company-tng-mode)
;;
;; in your init script. It will set up the required frontend, as well as make a
;; number of recommended configuration changes described below.
;;
;; To avoid these changes, if you want to tweak everything yourself, customize
;;`company-tng-auto-configure' to nil.
;;
;; We recommend to bind TAB to `company-select-next', S-TAB to
;; `company-select-previous', and unbind RET and other now-unnecessary
;; keys from `company-active-map':
;;
;; (define-key company-active-map (kbd "TAB") 'company-select-next)
;; (define-key company-active-map (kbd "") 'company-select-previous)
;; (define-key company-active-map (kbd "RET") nil)
;;
;; Note that it's not necessary to rebind keys to use this frontend,
;; you can use the arrow keys or M-n/M-p to select and insert
;; candidates. You also need to decide which keys to unbind, depending
;; on whether you want them to do the Company action or the default
;; Emacs action (for example C-s or C-w).
;;
;; We recommend to disable `company-require-match' to allow free typing at any
;; point.
;;
;; By default, company-tng doesn't work well with backends that insert function
;; arguments into the buffer and (optionally) expand them into a snippet
;; (usually performed in `post-completion' using yasnippet or company-template).
;; In company-tng, completion candidates
;; are inserted into the buffer as the user selects them and the completion is
;; finished implicitly when the user continues typing after selecting a
;; candidate. Modifying the buffer (by expanding a snippet) when the user
;; continues typing would be surprising and undesirable, since the candidate was
;; already inserted into the buffer.
;;
;; For this reason `company-tng-mode' by default disables arguments insertion
;; for a number of popular backends. If the backend you are using is not among
;; them, you might have to configure it not to do that yourself.
;;
;; YASnippet and company-tng both use TAB, which causes conflicts. The
;; recommended way to use YASnippet with company-tng is to choose a different
;; key for expanding a snippet and moving to the next snippet field:
;;
;; (define-key yas-minor-mode-map "\C-j" 'yas-expand)
;; (define-key yas-keymap "\C-j" 'yas-next-field-or-maybe-expand)
;; (dolist (keymap (list yas-minor-mode-map yas-keymap))
;; (define-key keymap (kbd "TAB") nil)
;; (define-key keymap [(tab)] nil))
