Let's say I am in an orgmode buffer, more precisely I
opened a file with org-contacts.
My first entry is:
** Mr.X
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: mail@mail.me
:END:
Then I want to create a new entry. Of course I am to
lazy to type ´:PROPERTIES:´ so I type ´:PR´ then hit
M-TAB. But instead of the word being completed I get
´There is no completion of PR´.
Okay, but I can see that actually there is one, it's in the
buffer. I read that the new orgmode completion method
is derived from the method John Wiegley has implemented.
In ledger-mode however M-Tab not only completes the
unfinished word but lets me cycle through the alternatives
given in the current buffer.
So, that is what I would expect in orgmode too...

Not really answering your question, but you do
know about C-c C-x p to set properties?

Dynamic completion based on buffer contents is a standard Emacs feature
which is normally bound to M-/
Maybe ledger.el falls back onto dynamic completion when there is nothing
else to complete? Org-mode used to fall back onto hippie-expand. But
I see now that this has fallen through when we moved to pcomplete.
Maybe this can be put back in?

This is a feature of pcomplete that must be enabled by turning on "cycling"
behavior. In Ledger and Eshell this is the default. I believe I explicitly
turned it off in Org-mode to avoid its being a surprise to people.

Ah, I see, will take a look at it.
Thanks John.
