After installing LWW6, symbol completion does not work as well as it used to in 5.1. For example, "m-v-b" doesn't complete any more, but "multiple-value" still does (it pops up a dialog). It looks like it doesn't complete unless the beginning of the symbol is used. I am using lw-add-ons with TAB completion. Is there a variable I need to set after the LW6 upgrade to get the old behavior? Mitch Berkson
The fact that "m-v-b" worked in previous versions was a feature of LW-ADD-ONS and not of LispWorks. I haven't found the time yet to integrate this feature with LW6, but I seem to remember that I had some problems with it and de-activated it. You might want to play with this value: http://weitz.de/lw-add-ons/#*use-abbreviated-complete-symbol* (I see the docstring says that the default is NIL, but I think it is T now.) My apologies, but due to lack of time and because I mostly had to work with other Lisp compilers recently, I haven't done any maintenance for LW-ADD-ONS in the last months. Edi.

I use LW6 32bit on Linux I had a line in .lispworks that looked (editor:bind-key "Indent And Complete Symbol" #\Tab) changing it to the following line fixed the problem for me (editor:bind-key "Indent And Complete Symbol" #\Tab :mode "Lisp") Ala'a Mohammad On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 2:49 PM, Mitch Berkson <mitch@bermita.com> wrote: > > After installing LWW6, symbol completion does not work as well as it used to > in 5.1.

It looks like this is not a LW-ADD-ONS issue but a problem I am having binding TAB to "Indent and Complete Symbol". If I bind a different key to that command, it works fine. But if I do: (editor:bind-key "Indent and Complete Symbol" #\Tab) the binding of TAB isn't changed. It remains "Indent Selection or Complete Symbol".

That worked. Thanks.
