In #Emacs I use dumb-jump.el to navigate around code - previously I had dumb-jump-go mapped to M-. but recently I have noticed the warnings that this is deprecated and I should use the xref interface instead.

So I tried that, and it works, but if there is more than one place to jump to, instead of a nice tooltip with the options, I an empty prompt in the minibuffer.

I can press TAB to the the options shown, but it is less convenient than seeing the options in a tooltip directly and being able to use the arrow keys to choose quickly.

How do I make xref use a tooltip for the alternatives?

New blog post on the use of the Xref code navigation feature of Emacs, specifically for working with Julia source code.

But another thing that I would love to #TIL is to scope M-, to go back #Emacs #xref history just the project I am currently. It is pretty annoying to follow a reference and end up in another project.

Removing Erlang dead code with Xref - AdRoll

Dead code (as in functions that are not used anywhere) tends to pile up in big projects if you leave them unattended. Using one of Xref's most underrated features, you will be able to detect and remove what you do not need anymore.
