  • fancy-dabbrev

    Emacs dabbrev-expand with preview and popup menu

  • The screen-shots of this only show a large popup menu which I find too disruptive for general use - is there the ability to show text after the word: like this?

  • pyim

    一个 emacs 中文输入法,支持全拼,双拼,五笔,仓颉和Rime,pyim 是 GNU elpa 包。

  • Pyim, a Chinese input method, has preview: https://github.com/tumashu/pyim/blob/master/pyim-preview.el. it's not pluggable though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • company-box

    A company front-end with icons

  • An advanced alternative to built-in tooltip and echo frontends is company-box. It displays candidates and docs for current candidate in popups.

  • company-mode

    Modular in-buffer completion framework for Emacs

  • For the company-mode see Frontends.

  • corfu

    :desert_island: corfu.el - COmpletion in Region FUnction

  • I did think that corfu did this with certain settings, but apparently not, since u/minad apparently just started a draft for it! :D

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
