Hi all. I’m having trouble having any sort of completion working at all. As far as I understood, I should be able to at least use `M-x completion-at-point` to manually trigger a completion, but this is not working for me. So the `C-M-i` keybinding does nothing for me. I also tried calling that function inside double brackets `[[someth|]]`, and it does not work either. `Company` itself does give me completions for normal words. Below is my relevant `company` config: ```auto (use-package company :ensure t :init (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode) :config (add-to-list 'company-frontends 'company-tng-frontend) (add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-capf) ; for org-roam completion (setq company-dabbrev-downcase nil) (setq company-dabbrev-ignore-case nil) (setq company-idle-delay 1) (setq company-auto-commit nil) (setq company-minimum-prefix-length 2) ) ``` And my roam config: ```auto (use-package org-roam :ensure t :custom (org-roam-directory "~/Notebooks/org/roam") :config (org-roam-db-autosync-mode) (setq org-roam-completion-everywhere t) ;(setq org-roam-completion-system 'ivy) ;(setq org-roam-link-title-format "@%s") (define-key org-roam-mode-map [mouse-1] #'org-roam-buffer-visit-thing) (org-roam-setup) :bind (("C-c n l" . org-roam-buffer-toggle) ("C-c n f" . org-roam-node-find) ("C-c n g" . org-roam-graph) ("C-c n i" . org-roam-node-insert) :map org-mode-map ("C-M-i" . completion-at-point) )) ``` I only recently upgraded to v2. Is there anything specific related to the v1-v2 changes? Please help! ---

My guess is company-dabbrev is called before Org-roam is, and Company does not call capf for Org-roam. If this is the case, I don’t know if Company can support two backends run consecutively (I don’t even know if that produces one big list in a pop-up or two separate ones). My guess, in this case, would be you would need to turn off company-dabbrev. Or use Corfu for one, and Company for the other. ---

Thanks for the info. The `company-backends` value is: ```auto (company-bbdb company-semantic company-cmake company-capf company-clang company-files (company-dabbrev-code company-gtags company-etags company-keywords) company-oddmuse company-dabbrev) ``` That of `org-roam-completion-functions` is: ```auto (org-roam-complete-link-at-point org-roam-complete-everywhere) ``` I can confirm that `company-mode` is on. I also tried setting only one backend for company, by `(setq company-backends '(company-capf))`. But still gets nothing. ---

Hang on! I think I get the problem. I wasn’t editing a file in side the roam directory. I thought it would also work if I link into the roam directory. Now both `org-roam-complete-link-at-point` and `org-roam-complete-everywhere` work as expected. Sorry for the noise. ---

How does company work when dabbrev and capf are both set like in your org-roam files? ---

According to the docstring of `company-backends`: > Only one backend is used at a time. The choice depends on the order of > the items in this list, and on the values they return in response to the > ‘prefix’ command (see below). But a backend can also be a “grouped” > one (see below). So I guess it is because the order. I said last night that it didn’t work for me because I wasn’t editing a file inside the roam folder. It turns out it wasn’t quite right. I noticed that I have to open a roam file using the `C-c n f` (`org-roam-node-find`) function for the completions to work. If I open the very same file, for instance, from the command line (`emacs ./org/roam/somefile.org`), or using emacs `find-file`, no roam completions work. Any idea why? ---

I think `:bind` in `use-package` deferrs loading of Org-roam (see this part in the Use-package [README](https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package#key-binding)). > defers loading of `ace-jump-mode` until you actually use it So when you launch Emacs “from the command line (`emacs ./org/roam/somefile.org`)”, `org-roam` has not been loaded yet. Try it yourself again. You would still see some commands in M-x because you would have `autoloaded` them, but you should see a limited number of these compared to when you have loaded the library. In the case of `find-file`, the behaviour should also depend on whether or `org-roam` has already been loaded or not. My guess is that when you tested `find-file`, it was probably right after you launched Emacs, thus `org-roam` had not been loaded. In general, once `org-roam` has been loaded, there should be no differecet between `find-file` and `org-roam-node-find` for the behaviour of Company. ---
