I'm using Emacs with company and company-quickhelp. This works fine for Elisp and Clojure.
However, displaying the quickhelp popup (or function signature) in Python mode doesn't work. I installed company-jedi and have the following settings in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
(company-quickhelp-mode 1)
(defun my/python-mode-hook ()
(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-jedi))
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my/python-mode-hook)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'run-python-internal)
The quickhelp popup doesn't show and after pressing F1 the minibuffer says "No documentation available". What am I missing?
company-backendsin a python buffer? My guess is that company-jedi is already in the list, in which case(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-jedi)does nothing. This matters becausecompany-completecalls the first eligible back end in the list. Thus if (e.g.)company-capfcomes beforecompany-jediyou would get the behavior you describe.(company-jedi company-bbdb company-nxml company-css company-eclim company-semantic company-clang company-xcode company-cmake company-capf (company-dabbrev-code company-gtags company-etags company-keywords) company-oddmuse company-files company-dabbrev)and after removing(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-jedi))completion in Python buffers doesn't work at all. It's basically copied from github.com/syohex/emacs-company-jedi
