An overview of the completion-preview.el library, a new feature integrated into Emacs master that provides automatic text suggestion previews as you type. The mode displays suggestions immediately following the cursor to offer an unobtrusive way to preview potential completions without replacing existing selection interfaces like Corfu or Icomplete.
- Seamless integration with any backend using completion-at-point-functions (CAPF)
- Implementation of a temporary active minor mode for specific keybindings, such as TAB for quick insertion
- Customizability regarding the minimum character length required to trigger a preview
- A design philosophy focused on being suggestive and helpful while remaining minimally intrusive
