Slime completion source for Emacs auto-complete package

=======================================================

This plugin provides a completion source for the popular Emacs

interactive auto-completion framework

[auto-complete](https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete).

Where slime provides it, pop-up documentation for completed symbols

will be displayed.

Installation

=============

First, ensure `auto-complete` and `slime` are installed: I recommend

using packages from [MELPA][melpa]. `cl-lib`

is also required -- it's built into recent Emacs versions, and a

backport package is available in [GNU ELPA](http://elpa.gnu.org/) for users

of older Emacs versions.

You'll need both `auto-complete` and `slime` to be enabled and

working, so please consult the corresponding documentation is you have

any trouble with this.

Next, install `ac-slime`. If you choose not to use the convenient

package in [MELPA][melpa], you'll need to add the directory containing

`ac-slime.el` to your `load-path`, and then `(require 'ac-slime)`.

`ac-slime` provides a couple of `slime`-specific completion sources,

so `auto-complete` needs to be told to use them when `slime-mode` is

active. To do this, put the following code in your emacs init file to 

     (add-hook 'slime-mode-hook 'set-up-slime-ac)

     (add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook 'set-up-slime-ac)

     (eval-after-load "auto-complete"

       '(add-to-list 'ac-modes 'slime-repl-mode))

Usage

=====

`ac-slime` should now automatically be enabled when you visit a buffer

in which `slime-mode` is active and `auto-complete` is enabled. (The

symbols "Slime" and "AC" should appear in the modeline.)

Simply trigger auto-completion, and completion candidates supplied by

slime should be displayed, with the symbol `l` on the right hand side

of the completion pop-up. After a short delay, popup documentation

for the completed symbol should also be displayed.

More

====

`ac-slime` supports fuzzy completion -- see the comments in

`ac-slime.el` for details. Note that to use fuzzy completion, you must

install and require `slime-fuzzy.el`, which comes with the full Slime

distro.
