Company is a text completion framework for Emacs. The name stands for "complete anything". It uses pluggable back-ends and front-ends to retrieve and display completion candidates.

It comes with several back-ends such as Elisp, Clang, Semantic, Ispell, CMake, BBDB, Yasnippet, Dabbrev, Etags, Gtags, Files, Keywords and a few others.

The CAPF back-end provides a bridge to the standard completion-at-point-functions facility, and thus works with any major mode that defines a proper completion function.

How to make yasnippet and company work nicer?

In my emacs, let's say, I use a "elisp" yasnippet to extend a lisp block in org-mode. But before I extend it, company is triggered first, which gives me a menu like "1. elisp1, 2. elisp2" without an option "elisp". Now if I use tab to extend…

How to remap Company's select next and select previous keys?

I don't like the default M-n and M-p keys for company-select-next and company-select-previous so I was wondering if it's possible to remap those to C-n and C-p without affecting the mappings when company's tooltip is not active.
