In my experience, new users of vanilla Emacs often complain about the lack of fuzzy completion by default. However, the "basic" completion style provides a decent amount of fuzziness out of the box. We should explain this a little more to users. (I myself have often had to explain this.) * doc/emacs/mini.texi (Completion Example): Provide an example of using more advanced "basic" completion. --- doc/emacs/mini.texi | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/emacs/mini.texi b/doc/emacs/mini.texi index 6fb312ec321..812218d1ab2 100644 --- a/doc/emacs/mini.texi +++ b/doc/emacs/mini.texi @@ -326,6 +326,20 @@ Completion Example Hence, typing just @kbd{a u @key{TAB} - f @key{TAB}} allows you to enter @samp{auto-fill-mode}. + @key{TAB} also works while point is not at the end of the +minibuffer.
