  • embark

    Emacs Mini-Buffer Actions Rooted in Keymaps

  • It is not the case that the snapshot buffer supports marking and acting on multiple candidates out of the box (open issue #166, https://github.com/oantolin/embark/issues/166). I still find the snapshot buffer more convenient than the minibuffer when working with multiple candidates. In the snapshot buffer you can use consult-focus-lines to narrow down further using the completion-style filter syntax like in the minibuffer.

  • app-launcher

    Launch application from Emacs

  • If you only use counsel-linux-app maybe SebastienWae/app-launcher might interest you which is largely based on that function from counsel.

  • orderless

    Emacs completion style that matches multiple regexps in any order

  • Yes, one should try out and use the default completion system. I think it is most useful if you feel disturbed by popups and already know what you are going to complete. On the other hand, the UIs which show candidates immediately are good for exploration and seem more beginner friendly. Note that Icomplete and Vertico are essentially the default completion system, these packages avoid redundant complexity as much as possible by reusing the entire Emacs completion machinery including the completion-styles. There are good third-party completion-styles like Orderless, which I personally prefer over combining the built-in completion styles. I use partial-completion+orderless for files and partial-completion+orderless-with-initialisms for symbol-like completion categories.
