BTW, did you know that you can just do README.org and github parses it? I noticed that you have org file checked in, but README is in md. For example see https://github.com/kozikow/keyremaplinux .

#23What do people use to get something like this for C/C++? Also is there any package for auto-completion in C/C++?
Rtags is a also nice alternative. Both packages work as daemons outside emacs that read your compile commands.

One other thing no other tool does (AFAIK) is that you can get a "call hierarchy" for a function or any variable and it's laid out as a tree and you can expand each node to trace the calls. This makes understanding the code and refactoring faster by an order of magnitude.
I have avoided Eclipse for years because of cpu/memory usage, but ever since I got a computer with Intel i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM, I have completely switched to Eclipse because it makes me so much more productive than any other environment I tried.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Building a tags file is not trivial.For example if you cloned a random repository on github you'd want to just jump around and not have to have the additional step of generating it and keeping it up to date.
Can't it just be done automatically and on-the-fly using ctags or another appropriate command?

#27Nice package! Unfortunately is completely falling on its face for my ruby on rails project, but I'm sure it can be improved.

Agreed. Was so hopeful that it would "just work". Still hopeful that it will improve, because the README just sounds sooo good.

For rails projects I wrote a script that kicks off ctags with the following options. "ctags --tag-relative -Rf.git/tags.$$ --exclude=.git --exclude=log --exclude=tmp --exclude=public --languages=ruby --languages=javascript `bundle show --paths` $MY_RUBY_HOME ."
I'd wager there is a better way. That's just the way I roll.
