orderless VS mdp

orderless. A highly configurable completion style that matches multiple patterns in any order against minibuffer completion candidates.

An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.

You didn't mention, so I'll ask, are you using the orderless (https://github.com/oantolin/orderless) completion style?

Fuzzy completion ala Orderless would be awesome: hitting space during completion acts as a pattern separator.

I dunno—I like how Vertico+Counsel feel. I'm not sure how good the support for Orderless and Embark are in Ivy, but I really like how those packages compose so nicely with the Vertico+Consult ecosystem.

In general, you want either orderless or prescient, with my personal preference being the former.

You probably want to investigate completion styles. There are many builtin styles, from basic, which just does prefix completion, on up. But there are also 3rd party styles. One of the most powerful is called orderless. Considering all these styles, there really is a ton of flexibility in how you can get to a completion candidate like some-named-something (some, s-n-s, sns, soso, [a-z]{4}-na, e\b \bs, ...). You can even configure more than one style at a time (and usually do).

Well, I've written some general purpose Emacs packages (orderless and embark) that I use a lot, but I also write Emacs Lisp for one-off tasks.

I like it. Would be nice to see orderless-style (https://github.com/oantolin/orderless) completion, and a config not to enter the directory by narrowing the completion to one, requiring enter to be pressed.

It depends on what you are presenting. I found [mdp](https://github.com/visit1985/mdp) to be very useful when presenting a tech talk. It is easy to copy and paste from the source material, it can be done all via the terminal, and it views well as a README on github.

Here is an example of a presentation I gave:

https://github.com/veganjay/prefectdemo/blob/main/presentati...

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

I use pandoc to convert markdown to powerpoint decks, it's a great workflow as you can preview and tweak the content and then apply the firm theme before the presentation.

If all you need is text on your slides, then mdp could be fun! I used it during an interview a while back.

Hmmm.. interesting. I used mdp a few times - perhaps I should give this one a whirl.

Have you ever heard of terminal based presentations with mdp?
