Almost. Synaptic package manager does more than "f": it shows you tags
in a list (of length ~50). When you click a tag, you narrow.
To make "f" equivalent to what Synaptic offers, there should be a way to
have around 50 prominent completions for it. Currently, the completion
list for "f" on my system has a length 1000. Barely useful for
searching, unusable for browsing. Unless you know the correct tag. Then
it's good.
So two points:
1. have ~50 tags instead of 1000, preferably visually.
2. add all built-in files to the list when a tag is browsed.
The second point is important. Just today, I've read a thread on
emacs-help about iswitchb / icomplete, where it wasn't clear to people
that:
- icomplete provides similar features to iswitchb
- iswitchb is still part of Emacs
I think browsing "completion" tag could have cleared it up: a person, on
hearing iswitchb is obsolete, looks at "completion" tag:
- sees icomplete is there, built-in
- sees iswitchb is still there, built-in
- sees ivy/helm/icicles are also there
