The magic of Emacs is that you can set it up the way you like. On mousing, it depends. Faster in some cases for making changes on editing and browsing the web in eww if you don't care about ctrl-s.

> The magic of Emacs is that you can set it up the way you like. Can you set it up to: 1. have tabs (like in Vim) 2. have the command bar/line/whatever it's called at the top ? :-)

  Tabs are built-in from a few versions, see https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Tab-Bars.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Ta... > have the command bar/line/whatever it's called at the top I think what you mean is called a mode-line: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mode-Line.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mo... (or do you mean the thing where you type commands, like C-S-p in VS Code?) To make it display at the top of the buffer window you'd need to repurpose a header line with some custom config. There might be a package for it. Do you have a screenshot of how you'd like it to look like?

    VS Code Ctrl-Shift-P, yes. And I'd want the results to drop down not to climb up.

      Very possible, yes: https://github.com/tumashu/vertico-posframe https://github.com/tumashu/vertico-posframe. You can position the box anywhere you want by configuring the parameter: vertico-posframe-poshandler . posframe-poshandler-frame-top-center ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I use `posframe-poshandler-frame-bottom-center`, which looks like this: https://klibert.pl/statics/vertico-screenshot.png https://klibert.pl/statics/vertico-screenshot.png Those ugly things at the top of the window are tabs - they can look much better if you use a modern theme (personally, it never bothered me enough to put time into configuring them).
