Re: I can't set dabbrev to respect the writen case

[Samuel Wales]

i do not use fancy-dabbrev, but i use dabbrev in hippie-expand.  it
seems to do as you want.

it should be possible to run hippie-expand with just dabbrev.  it
might not be exactly the same because he might have its own version of
dabbrev.  which might be what you want in this case.

note that you have control over where dabbrev gets its data.  idk if
that is a feature of vanilla dabbrev.

i do not use any dabbrev settings or any he settings except the main
one for he.  it is set to

      '(try-expand-dabbrev-visible
        try-expand-dabbrev
        try-expand-dabbrev-all-buffers
        try-expand-dabbrev-from-kill

        try-complete-lisp-symbol
        ;;do i want this first?  am i supposed to use another thing to
        ;;complete from that point?
        ;;try-complete-lisp-symbol-partially

        ;;try-expand-whole-kill
        try-complete-file-name-partially
        try-complete-file-name
        hoka-try-complete-with-calc-result)
