remove the binding for @

Along with tag function completions (see below), it is easier to insert correct tag functions now.
Pollen mode supports block editing. C-c C-c
will put the block under
cursor into another buffer for special editing. You can turn on any
mode you want in the new buffer without interfering original one.
Pollen mode makes it easy to edit pollen preprocess files too. Emacs already provides useful mode for the file that pollen is preprocessing. When opens pollen preprocess file, Emacs will automatically turn on pollen minor mode for the buffer, so that you won't lose any convenient key-bindings of its major mode.
company-pollen
is a company-mode backend for supporting identifier
completions. It supports completing identifiers exported from pollen
modules you're editing. The completion works even if you have nested
directory as the completion facility respects pollen configuration
search path.
pollen-mode
also provides functions to start, stop and resume pollen
server. Most of actions need just one keystroke once the server has
started. Start the server by pollen-server-start
, and follow
instructions on the server window.
