I've looked all over the internet for this, and since I'm new to Emacs, I don't know what to search for. I'm not looking for mini-buffer completion for commands and such. I'm looking for code hints in the mini-buffer, as shown in this gif. I couldn't care less about the fancy parens, the code hints are awesome. How do I get them?

You need M-x eldoc-mode
. It's enabled by default in 24.5.

Cool, now how do I make that a default for elisp buffers, apparently it's not a default in the version I have. In other words, how do I circumvent having to press M-x eldoc-mode? – Jonathan Jun 04 '15 at 19:07

Look at the commentary at the beginning of the `eldoc` library file (`M-x find-library RET eldoc RET`). – Sue D. Nymme Jun 04 '15 at 20:10
