company-sameline

company-mode completion using previous lines.

A simple backend offering buffer lines above point as completion candidates with point at the end of a line.

Installation

Put company-sameline.el somewhere in load-path, then load it and add company-sameline to company-backends within your emacs init file:

(require 'company-sameline)
(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-sameline)

Activation

Since this type of completion will probably be useful under rather specific circumstances only, a buffer-local variable is used to activate or deactivate it.

Set company-sameline-active to t to turn it on. I usually do this in a file variable.
