I do not have all the commands memorised. But how emacs completes changes upon where you hit tab. if you type M-x re-bu TAB, it will show revert-buffer, re-builder, etc. If you hit TAB when cursor is at the beginning, like M-x buffer M-b TAB, it will show any command with buffer in it. Then you can C-x o to the Completions buffer and use any search tool on it, e.g. isearch-forward-regexp.
- benaiah 11y agoMore power to you, but I couldn't go back to manually-invoked completion at this point. An environment which gives me as much information as possible as quickly as possible in as few keystrokes as possible is a big priority for me, and I'm willing to have a few extra dependencies in order to get that.
- gkya 11y agoIt's not about dependencies, after all ido is part of emacs. I find the default with some tweaks to simply be better. Though it's a bit personal preference here I think.
- benaiah 11y ago"dependencies" was a reference to the numerous plugins I use to get ido in a state that I enjoy. I don't particularly like stock ido, though I prefer it to the standard completing-read.
