Auto-complete word in Emacs mini-buffer when using Evil
When using Evil I often input %s/old-keyword/new-keyword/g in Minibuffer.
The problem is auto completions of new-keyword using hippie-expand always fail.
It turns out that the character "/" is treated as Word constituent in minibuffer.
The solution is to re-define "/" as Punctuation characters:
(defun minibuffer-inactive-mode-hook-setup ()
;; make `try-expand-dabbrev' from `hippie-expand' work in mini-buffer
;; @see `he-dabbrev-beg', so we need re-define syntax for '/'
(set-syntax-table (let* ((table (make-syntax-table)))
(modify-syntax-entry ?/ "." table)
table)))
(add-hook 'minibuffer-inactive-mode-hook 'minibuffer-inactive-mode-hook-setup)
