company-mode VS all-the-icons.el

I'm curious to know what `company` does differently here than `corfu`. As a longtime user I couldn't be happier.

https://company-mode.github.io/

they wrote the first word and auto-completed the rest

For me, it's http://company-mode.github.io and maybe a touch of all-the-icons..

I'm not sure if I did anything special to enable it, but I'm pretty sure company-mode does this

When I started using Emacs I was following the setup outlined by System Crafters, which I still think is a really good introduction. But, over the last few months I've started to replace packages with more "minimalist" or "stripped down" packages. I've switched from Ivy and Counsel to Vertico and Consult, and recently I switched from company to corfu for auto-completion.

As for the Emacs configuration, you should only need a few lines of code, in order to get them up and running, if you are planning to keep your setup as close to vanilla as possible. If you are interested, you could additionally install a completion framework like company-mode to help you out.

As for auto-completion, there's a few different variants that people use. Auto-complete being one of them, but an alternative you might want to try is http://company-mode.github.io/

For the company-mode see Frontends.

Company is a classic, though corfu and cape, also by Daniel Mendler is really excellent.

Thanks so much for your help, but I've already tried that :( I installed manually downloading it from https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el and used the fc-cache -f -v . For some reason the M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts not work for me, since it's not shown the all-the-icons-install-fonts after M-x and package-install

Isn't a "pile" just an "unorganized map"? Really, if you think of it: a pile of papers on a desk, could as well sitt in a folder. That should bring you back to normal desktop paradigm. Now implementing headings as "folders" shouldn't be overly difficult. You could implement a "pile" of headings as just subheadings to top headings and also render those top headings as either: svg icons, check for example svg-library by /u/Nicolas-Rougier, or you could use font-icons like in font-awesome or all-the-icons, to replace top-headings with an image or a font-icon. You would probably have to write your own minor-mode but it shouldn't be very difficult. You will probably need to use invisible-text property to hide headings and replace them with icons (that is normally how org and outline modes "fold" and "expand" content in headings), but that should not be very difficult.

In the org-mode buffer (upper part of pic): Iosevka Aile 15. In the minibuffer (lower part of pic): Iosevka 15. For the star icon: Font Awesome via all-the-icons.el.

I tried some of the troubleshooting steps on https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el but those instructions seem to address issues with individual icons. I can't see any icons.

I found what I believe is the fonts repo here but I'm not sure where to put the resources while this issue gets fixed. I see that it's a constant that reappears quite often.

You can also install it manually: https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el

In the meantime, you can get the missing definitions using this config: https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el/issues/220#issuecomment-750989401

Works perfectly fine and looks good to me. Additionally, I also have the all-the-icons fonts to support doom-modeline.
