In-buffer completion UIs in Emacs can hook into completion-in-region, which implements the interaction with the user. Completions at point are either provided by commands like dabbrev-completion or by pluggable backends (completion-at-point-functions, Capfs) and are then passed to completion-in-region. Many programming, text and shell major modes implement a Capf. Corfu does not include its own completion backends. The Emacs built-in Capfs and the Capfs provided by third-party programming language packages are often sufficient. Additional Capfs and completion utilities are provided by the Cape package. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at .
