Corfu Alternatives

corfu reviews and mentions

• Movwin: My (Unpublished) TUI Framework
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Jun 2026

  TUIs in Prolog sounds fun.

  The great thing about TUIs is that a simple text component is a universal widget. If the user can display text and capture events they can implement any interface components they want in terms of that.

  That said, the core of the things I'm thinking of (some links below) is providing easily accessible context for the user right at the point where they are working. This can be completions at the cursor, or a quick key to pop up a command palette. Fuzzy search is standard.

  Here are some examples:

  * Corfu: https://github.com/minad/corfu

  * Vertico: https://github.com/minad/vertico

  * which-key: https://github.com/justbur/emacs-which-key

  * LazyVim: https://www.lazyvim.org/

  I've included links that have screenshots showing how they work. The list is biased to Emacs, because I'm an Emacs user (Doom Emacs in particular).

  Hope that helps!

• Emacs 2024 Changes

  For completions, I finally embraced using corfu, which is nice (especially the integration with tempel). I almost gave up until I realised that I needed to also install cape.

• Does eglot support autocomplete candidates with the same name?
  1 project | /r/emacs | 7 Dec 2023
• anybody here do completion-on-demand, instead of automagically (dwim) ?
  1 project | /r/emacs | 6 Jul 2023

  You could try corfu. It has auto-completion disabled by default and works most places with M-Tab. Or you could set a longish corfu-auto-delay (0.75s say), and let auto popup only when you stop to ponder a while.

• is it just me, or LSP mode is very slow in emacs?

• Code completion candidates displayed in minibuffer
  1 project | /r/emacs | 10 May 2023

  Corfu supports this. Or at least it allows you to move completions to the mini buffer which I find quiet useful.

• Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
  9 projects | /r/emacs | 9 May 2023

  A substantial section of the community is using corfu instead of company, but I wouldn't say company is out of date by any means. In emacs 29 eglot will be a built in, which might act as a replacement for lsp-mode depending on what functionality you need.

• Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster?
  9 projects | /r/emacs | 23 Apr 2023

  Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

• How do I take priority from Evil's escape key?
  2 projects | /r/emacs | 5 Apr 2023

  I am currently using evil and corfu, but I want to configure such that pressing a single escape will invoke corfu-quit when its UI is active (because pressing "C-g" is harder).

• Emacs lags when making the auto completion pop-up with corfu
  2 projects | /r/emacs | 17 Mar 2023

  A few days ago I found an unexplained slowness when using Corfu on Emacs 29 with pgtk. I stripped my configuration to basically just Corfu, and still had a noticeable delay. Maybe it is related to your problem. https://github.com/minad/corfu/issues/307
