corfu VS tempel

You could try corfu. It has auto-completion disabled by default and works most places with M-Tab. Or you could set a longish corfu-auto-delay (0.75s say), and let auto popup only when you stop to ponder a while.

Corfu supports this. Or at least it allows you to move completions to the mini buffer which I find quiet useful.

A substantial section of the community is using corfu instead of company, but I wouldn't say company is out of date by any means. In emacs 29 eglot will be a built in, which might act as a replacement for lsp-mode depending on what functionality you need.

Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

I am currently using evil and corfu, but I want to configure such that pressing a single escape will invoke corfu-quit when its UI is active (because pressing "C-g" is harder).

A few days ago I found an unexplained slowness when using Corfu on Emacs 29 with pgtk. I stripped my configuration to basically just Corfu, and still had a noticeable delay. Maybe it is related to your problem. https://github.com/minad/corfu/issues/307

The most straight forward solution is probably the package company-math. (that's what I use but with corfu and cape)

TempEl could definitely replace tempo.el and even skeleton.el, but IMO the most unobtrusive and valuable addition will be orderless as a build in completion style.

I combine org capture templates with the tempel package which is a great templating package.

I would like to second this; writing snippets in this syntax is very easy. There's a new package for this as well: https://github.com/minad/tempel

I've created an issue for this.

I used the use-package configuration from: https://github.com/minad/tempel.

Regarding template integration, I was also wondering what org-block-capf/company offers on top. Maybe you can implement some special interactions? I use Tempel with templates like the following configured for org-mode:

A collection of templates for TempEl template engine. The collection is not so big as yasnippet-snippets just because I use a limited set of modes, but pull requests are always welcome. It is available on Melpa.

Big thanks for beautiful template package TempEl

Thanks! There's also tempel, which uses the tempo syntax, and so can benefit directly from this library.

I know exactly what I want, but it's such a chore to type out. A good example might be org-mode src blocks. Here I reach for a template-style abbrev/snippet package. Small plug for tempel, which reimagines tempo. Some modern lsp servers even include smart template expansion with "fields" you can hop around between (ya-snippet is good at this). There are lots of "libraries" of useful expansion templates for various modes for many of these tools.
