* Package name : elpa-corfu Version : 0.35 Upstream Contact: Daniel Mendler <mail...@daniel-mendler.de> * URL : https://github.com/minad/corfu/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Emacs Lisp Description : Completion Overlay Region FUnction in Emacs Corfu enhances completion at point with a small completion popup. The current candidates are shown in a popup below or above the point. Corfu is the minimalistic completion-in-region counterpart of the Vertico minibuffer UI. Corfu is a small package, which relies on the Emacs completion facilities and concentrates on providing a polished completion UI. Completions are either provided by commands like dabbrev-completion or by pluggable backends (completion-at-point-functions, Capfs). Most programming language major modes implement a Capf. Furthermore the language server packages, Eglot and Lsp-mode, use Capfs which talk to the LSP server to retrieve the completions. Corfu does not include its own completion backends. The Emacs built-in Capfs and the Capfs provided by other programming language packages are usually sufficient. A few additional Capfs and completion utilities are provided by the Cape package. ---- This is similar to the already packaged company mode, but has the crucial difference that it doesn't require any mode-specific completion mechanism like company. Instead, it reuses the existing "completion-at-point-function" already defined in the major mode. It interoperates with Language Server Protocol (LSP) packages as well, like eglot and lsp-mode. More completion modes are provided by an external "cape" package: https://github.com/minad/cape ... not packaged in Debian. Corfu also integrates with the "orderless" completion style, already packaged in Debian as elpa-orderless I am currently using company but I'm considering switching to this in a feeble attempt at simplifying my init file.
