  1. vertico

    :dizzy: vertico.el - VERTical Interactive COmpletion

    If you're using Vertico, why not use consult-line from Consult instead of swiper? You get more from Consult anyway.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. consult

    :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read

    The Consult repository has some screen shots, including one animated one for consult-ripgrep. consult-line will be pretty similar, except it's for just a single file.

  4. elpaca

    An elisp package manager

    Elpaca. https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca - an alternative to the built in package manager. Very fast with an eminently decent UI, and allows for any or no fine-tuning how any given package should be installed.

  5. chemacs2

    Emacs version switcher, improved

    https://www.spacemacs.org/ is a layer on top of emacs that solves a number of shortcomings including a more modern UI. If you use https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, you can always run emacs and spacemacs independently, both for learning, troubleshooting etc.

  6. swiper

    Ivy - a generic completion frontend for Emacs, Swiper - isearch with an overview, and more. Oh, man! (by abo-abo)

    For the unfamiliar, Swiper is a part of Ivy which lets you search through your buffer with a preview of match candidates: you type some text you're looking for, and up pops a list of matching lines in the minibuffer that you can then use the arrow keys, C-n C-p etc. to scroll through and select the one you want.
