I'm trying to enable auto-complete-mode whenever a .go file is loaded through go-mode. It works if I invoke auto-complete-mode manually for Go source files, but when I tried adding it to .emacs as below, it doesn't work:
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook auto-complete-mode)
I've tried a few variations around it but none seem to work. Following is what the Go-Mode snippet currently looks like in my .emacs:
;; Load Go Mode
(require 'go-mode-load)
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'auto-complete-mode)
I tried creating my own hook function like this:
;; Load Go Mode
(require 'go-mode-load)
(defun auto-complete-for-go ()
(auto-complete-mode 1))
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'auto-complete-for-go)
I also tried including the hook in go-mode-load.el and go-mode.el, as well as calling auto-complete-mode like this:
(auto-complete-mode t)
(provide 'go-mode)
Doesn't work either way. I also added the go-mode-hook to auto-complete-default function like so:
(defun ac-config-default ()
(setq-default ac-sources '(ac-source-abbrev ac-source-dictionary ac-source-words-in-same-mode-buffers))
(add-hook 'go-mode-hook 'ac-common-setup)
;; Other hooks
(global-auto-complete-mode t))
That doesn't work either. What's the best way to trigger a command just after a major mode is enabled for a buffer?
