I’m using Vertico and that usually makes completing-read stuff filter stuff out as I type. But that doesn’t happen with jabber-roster-chat-any (jabber-read-jid-completing). I do see parts of entries being highlighted, but that’s it. Can I do something about that? 🤔

"The history of #Emacs completion frameworks is a progression from monolithic solutions toward composable ones."

This is a comprehensive summary, with a thorough and fair history. A long read, but worth it.

I plateaued at #Vertico #Orderless #Marginalia #Consult years ago. Maybe time to learn the others, one at a time.

If you are using #vertico for minibuffer completion in #Emacs, you might find this little #elisp snippet helpful: it allows to toggle sorting by modification time and makes finding e.g. recently added files that much quicker!

I've finally jumped on the #vertico & co. bandwagon (I was using Ivy before). Here are some impressions.

I see some small quality-of-life improvements, like:
- `vertico-multiform' enabling `vertico-quick' and `vertico-grid' for telega.el emojis (Fig. 1).
- Grouping entries by file in `consult-ripgrep' (Fig. 2).
- Using `embark-collect' to create a buffer with current completion candidates and act on them separately. Unlike `ivy-occur', the embark version works on more commands.

I had to switch to `citar' [1] from `ivy-bibtex' for citations. Thankfully, `org-ref' can use the former with custom `org-ref-insert-cite-function' (just call `citar-insert-citation' there) [2].

Also, setting up custom embark actions is reasonably simple, although I wish setting completion metadata in Emacs was more straightforward [3].

And a few quirks:
- Embark actions take two keystrokes (in my case, M-e s), whereas in Ivy I had just M-s. But embark is more versatile, so I'll get used to it, I guess.
- I had to manually execute (run-hooks 'post-command-hook) after `completing-read' in my password typing package to refocus the EXWM frame. Otherwise, the first keystrokes got lost somewhere.

Damn update of vertico seems broken as "Lisp nesting exceed 'max-lisp-eval-depth'" which on my system is set to 1600. Perhaps a recursion error somewhere?

#Emacs users of #Embark and #Vertico need to switch to the multiform/grid display.

It's amazing, combining which-key like columnar display with completing-read filtering.

I wonder why vertico-exit-input is not bound to anything by default, since it's a pain to enter something that is not matching otherwise.
