  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
