Subject: Show all completions based on substring search
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2022 22:54:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2v8nnlrpf.fsf@me.com> (raw)
Howdy smart folks!
I noticed that Emacs (v29, 5b9b393c61) does not always show all
completions, the way I would like.
Given
1. emacs -Q
2. C-h f
3. warning TAB,
I get the following 3 completions:
warning-numeric-level
warning-suppress-p
warnings-suppress
Instead, I would like to see all candidates that contain the substring
`warning', such as `display-warning'.
I noticed that if I move the point to the beginning of the word
`warning' and type `TAB' there, then I get all candidates that contain
the substring `warning', including `display-warning'.
How can make the completion system *always* do this on `TAB', without
moving the point? (Or using word completion, or typing the Orderless
separator, or anything else like that.)
I tried to set the `completion-styles' to the various documented values,
but I never seem to get all candidates I expect.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Rudy
