Command Palettes: How Typing Commands Became the Norm Again

• fzf

  405 59,462 9.5 Go

  :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

Although I don't use it, I see plenty of positive feedback about fzf [0] and I'm sure I've seen palette-style tools built with it that enable command and options discovery.

• helm

  48 3,345 9.7 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs incremental completion and selection narrowing framework (by emacs-helm)

  

Emacs always has an embryonic version of that with M-x, but with a simple autocomplete. That’s is, until Helm arrived in 2011: it made everything that is a list something to be dynamically filtered (commands, shortcuts, buffers, files, etc).

IntelliJ has a command palette too (Ctrl-Shift-a), but it’s horribly slow and has many items with the same name doing different things (try looking for “settings” for example). But it does allow you to add a shortcut to a command you find on the fly, which is great.

• coc.nvim

  320 23,920 9.0 TypeScript

  Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.

  

I went through a series of phases just like you're describing, but I eventually settled on vim + COC as my "home" editor. The COC plugin has been a game changer for me; all of the conveniences of a language server without the bloat of a full-featured editor like VS Code.

• vertico

  :dizzy: vertico.el - VERTical Interactive COmpletion

Helm is a huge package. If you want something that stays closer to a vanilla experience, check out Daniel Mendler’s Vertico package: https://github.com/minad/vertico

He’s got a bunch of other really nice lightweight packages that leverage built-in completion mechanisms. See also https://github.com/minad/vertico#complementary-packages

Nice, thanks! So far I use chocolatey [1]. It is good, although some apps tend to be outdated (I can live with that, for the moment, it is not that worse yet). Will definitely keep in my Package Control.
