.emacs.d VS fussy

Yes, that is exactly what I do. It is only a couple of lines.

> Emacs has better fuzzy finding

With due respect to Mr. Petersen, and as an Emacs user myself, I really can't agree. When I fire up fzf I just type and generally without any thinking I get what I want. Emacs takes some configuration to get to that point; the built in flex completion is, for whatever reason, not as robust in my experience.

In fact, in my current config I've been using fzf (or really skim) for completion within Emacs, via fussy: https://github.com/jojojames/fussy

Good idear, I asked in the repos https://github.com/jojojames/fussy/issues/37

As oantolin mentioned, fido completely overrides your preferred completion-styles which I called out here recently as a blocker to really adopt it if you care about performant fuzzy matching. I've done a lot of messing around with configuration in this space and my preferred setup is vertico + hotfuzz. You might also want to check out fussy which supports a bunch of different backends (FWIW, hotfuzz with the dynamic module enabled for me had the best combination of performance and behaviour, but fuz-bin and fzf-native are also great).

Currently, vertico + orderless + fussy (https://github.com/jojojames/fussy) enables you to find something with both fuzzy matching style and orderless style. I tried with Fido, only fussy works, but not orderless.

It's not enough to have a different way to list search results, however. If you want the Telescope experience you need a fuzzy completion. I have been enjoying fussy

Someone kinda has with fussy. It supports multiple filtering and sorting techniques, including fzf compiled as a dynamic module for emacs, flx, flx-rs, and more.
