prescient.el VS ggtags

> It keeps a history for that session, but so far I have not found a way to maintain history between sessions.

I use prescient.el [0] with prescient-persist-mode for this, though a quick look seems that SMEX also has something similar [1] but I have not used that so I can't say anything about how it works.

[1]: https://github.com/nonsequitur/smex#persistence

I use `orderless` for completion, for which there are a lot of good suggestions here, and `prescient` for sorting. `prescient` also has completion functionality, but I disable it. From the README:

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

I was a selectrum/prescient user and I thought I'd miss it, but it turns out I don't. It turns out the standard savehist-mode has been close enough for me. The good news is that there's some work to turn prescient into a real completion-style so that it could be integrated easily.

If you like to use Prescient, Selectrum is nice.

Selectrum and Prescient would be nice.

The behavior that you describe is the one related to company-prescient 😊

You could also try prescient.

show as I type as the results trigger memory... and for that selectrum. Use standard emacs completing-read, plugin prescient and you have history weightings .. of course, I am now more interested in the completion I have used ten times already, it's a no brainer when coding. It's a complete winner for me.

Can you access https://elpa.gnu.org in a browser?

The packages available via the built-in package manager once configured do not come from GitHub though they may be developed there. They come from GNU ELPA NonGNU ELPA and MELPA. You would still need internet access though.

To install elisp packages system-wide under the Portage control you can use gs-elpa. Read layman documentation before using it, as gs-elpa represents ELPA repositories as g-sorcery overlays. It currently supports 4 repositories: gnu-elpa, marmalade, melpa and melpa-stable.

I run emacs at work on a system that does not access the internet, so I cannot utilize the package interface that pulls directly from melpa (and elpa etc). Years ago, someone copied a version of melpa into a local directory on the air-gapped server. In my init.el, I setq package-archive to something like (("local-melpa" . "/path/to/the/melpa/dir")) so that it points to this local directory. I'm wondering if there is a tool to facilitate this sort of mirroring? I would like to update my packages on this air-gapped network. I am able to copy files onto the system from a less restricted workstation with internet access. Is it just a matter of unzipping the melpa repo and pointing package-archive to the fresh melpa directory?

https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags works well ; otherwise I use dumb-jump and eglot quite a bit

https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags can also be useful ; and for me ripgrep via https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el or https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

I get similar connection-security messages when attempting to connect to the package archive at https://elpa.nongnu.org/ —again, in both *Package* and in *eww*—while elpa.gnu.org seems to be just flat out nonresponsive. However, other https sites including https://duckduckgo.com/about and https://twitter.com work just fine.

I am working on adding more packages to NonGNU ELPA, the new package archive enabled by default from Emacs 28 onwards. Compared to GNU ELPA, there is no need for a copyright assignment (the only requirement is that packages do not endorse non-free software, but that is the case for most Emacs-related software to begin with).

You can also install the latest stable version of Org via GNU ELPA by invoking M-x package-install RET org RET.
