Is Helm an emacs thing I should look into if I want autocomplete? Trying to stay pretty vanilla but I'm already wishing for that feature.

- ashton314 5y agoCompany handles completion-at-point stuff. I think the op might be asking about a command completion framework.
- donatzsky 5y agoDepends on the type of autocomplete you mean. For code, company mode is probably what you want. For the minibuffer, Ido (or fido if you want super-vanilla) plus which-key will get you far. Here's what I have in my init.el: ;;(fido-mode 1) (ido-mode 1) (setq ido-enable-flex-matching t) (setq ido-everywhere t) ; Also work with C-x C-f (use-package which-key :ensure t :delight :init (which-key-mode)) Delight is used to change or remove mode-line indicators for both major and minor modes.
- ashton314 5y agoHelm is a huge package. If you want something that stays closer to a vanilla experience, check out Daniel Mendler’s Vertico package: https://github.com/minad/vertico https://github.com/minad/vertico He’s got a bunch of other really nice lightweight packages that leverage built-in completion mechanisms.
