ido-at-point VS flymake-collection

(defun completing-read-at-point (start end col &optional pred) "Inspired by https://github.com/katspaugh/ido-at-point" (if (minibufferp) (completion--in-region start end col pred) (let* ((init (buffer-substring-no-properties start end)) (all (completion-all-completions init col pred (length init))) (completion (cond ((atom all) nil) ((and (consp all) (atom (cdr all))) (car all)) (t (completing-read "Completions: " col pred t init))))) (if completion (progn (delete-region start end) (insert completion) t) (message "No completions") nil)))) (setq completion-category-defaults nil) (setq completion-in-region-function #'completing-read-at-point)

Keep in mind the flymake-php package is pretty old. If you want, you can take a look at flymake-collection and possibly configure a checker for PHP yourself using the macros provided by that package.

Granted, Flycheck makes it easier to create checkers. But flymake-collection and the macros it defines make it easier for Flymake.

I also got rid of posframe. I can have the minibuffer open at the top of the frame using display-buffer-in-side-window (side . top) which is good enough for me. I also got rid of ranger for dired and general for bind-key (since I was already using use-package, bind-key basically comes for free). Got rid of flycheck for flymake (https://github.com/mohkale/flymake-collection makes this a lot easier!). I also moved from evil to the less intrusive meow for modal editing (https://github.com/meow-edit/meow).

Hiya, this is just a post announcing a packge I recently released to MELPA called [flymake-collection](https://github.com/mohkale/flymake-collection). It's essentially a collection of checkers for flymake bringing it a little closer to the outstanding out-of-the-box experience offered by flycheck. It was renamed from a package called flymake-rest which you might've heard of. Please check it out if you're interested and share any feedback :-).
