I updated recently my version of python-mode.el. Since then pressing at end of lines tries completion instead of indentation and pops up a buffer of suggestion. I would rather have only indentation. I use something else for completion. How can this be achieved?

By the way, auto indentation grew /less/ smart with the update. What possibly have I broken?

  • I tried f1 k but did not find out what to do. Feel free to add support to your comment if you have something particular in mind. – M. Toya Jan 09 '15 at 08:31
  • `f1 k TAB` should definitely help, since it will tell you the command name that is being executed and the map in which it is defined. So far, I don't even know if it's `auto-complete` or `company-mode` or whatever. `f1 k` *always* works. – abo-abo Jan 09 '15 at 08:54
  • In this case it is a little more intricate because several modules use tab (at least yasnippet, auto-complete, python-mode). I am looking for what changed in version 6 of python mode compared to version 5 that cause the overall behaviour to changed. – M. Toya Jan 09 '15 at 08:59

You didn't tell which python-mode. Also assume it's about TAB-key.

WRT python-mode.el comment out the present key-setting and write the desired one.

Like that: 

;; (define-key map (kbd "TAB") 'py-indent-or-complete)
(define-key map (kbd "TAB") 'py-indent-line)

  • I was reluctant to edit the mode file if some option were present but I must admit this is simple and efficient. Thanks. – M. Toya Jan 09 '15 at 09:13

You shouldn't need to modify the mode file itself to make this happen. You should be able to do it via python-mode-hook. This works for me (in my ~/.emacs):

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (define-key python-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'py-indent-line))
