Re: change autocompletion key in emacs

[Martin]

just a small tip -- in case you haven't try already -- use hippie-expand
instead of simple dabbrev-expand.

(when (load "hippie-exp" t)
    (global-unset-key "\M-/")
    (global-set-key "\M-/" 'hippie-expand))

in your case use (M-_)

If you change it because your local keybord mapping (ie. not english) has
different symbol on the same physical key, you may like to have
*-expand being mapped to both keys, just as i do for
Czech keyboard layout:

My .emacs contains:

(when (load "hippie-exp" t)
    (global-unset-key "\M-/")
    (global-set-key "\M-/" 'hippie-expand)
    ;; for CZE keybord mapping if in use: '/' == '-'
    (global-unset-key "\M--")
    (global-set-key "\M--" 'hippie-expand))
