Maybe helm (https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/ https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/) should be installed and preconfigured by default.
This solves a lot of the shortcomings of vanilla emacs.
- NoGravitas 5y agoHelm is a little heavy-weight. Ivy is lighter, but also does a lot of NIH stuff it doesn't need to. I personally like selectrum, (https://github.com/raxod502/selectrum https://github.com/raxod502/selectrum) because it provides the features of Ivy and quite a bit of extensibility, while still only using the built-in extension points in emacs (completing-read-function, etc.). I do wish the emacs developers would bless something and include and configure it by default, though.
