[Conkeror] What do you want in a JavaScript editor?

[Matthew Hippely]

Hi Rohan,

If you are using emacs + js2 mode you can easily get completion with a  
really cool minor mode called yasnippets (stands for Yet Another  
Snippet - i think)
check it out here: http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/

The cool thing about yasnippets is that you can define your own  
completions and base them on mode and it works with any mode that you  
tell it to.
