how to add company-dict to current backends group?

[futurist]

Where there's so many company models, and I want to add the company-dict to current major company-backends, which extend current major backend, not to replace it.

How to do that?
Thanks!

Hey, I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

If you want to add company-dict as a backend for a specific major mode, you can do:

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook
  (lambda () 
    (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
    (add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-dict)))

Alternatively, if you want more than one backend active at once, then you can set them explicitly:

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook
  (lambda () 
    (set (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
           '((company-dict company-irony)))))

I hope that helps!
