Switching orderloss off

[arvid-harnack@lavache.com]

Thank you.  Have looked at the various capabilities of "completion-styles" (basic, partial-completion, substring, initials)



Which setup would you find most convenient to use ? Do people customarily fill "completion-styles"



Would it be good to use alternatives rather than a single one ? What sequence would then work nicely?



Thanks

Just set it to something else:

(setq completion-styles '(basic))

In case you wish to restore completion-styles to whatever it was before
the change, just store the previous value:

;; Use orderless completion style:
(setq my-previous-completion-styles completion-styles)
(setq completion-styles '(orderless))

;; Go back to the previous completion styles:
(setq completion-styles my-previous-completion-styles)
