:completion corfu

Description   unfold

This module provides code completion, powered by doom-package:corfu.

It is recommended to enable either this or doom-module::completion company, in case you desire pre-configured auto-completion. Corfu is much lighter weight and focused, plus it's built on native Emacs functionality, whereas company is heavy and highly non-native, but has some extra features and more maturity.

Module flags

+icons
Display icons beside completion suggestions.
+tng
Invoke completion on TAB. When corfu is active, TAB and S-TAB will navigate the completion candidates. Arrow keys and evil-style movement are still supported.
+orderless
Pull in doom-package:orderless if necessary and apply multi-component completion (still needed if is active).

Installation

Enable this module in your doom! block.

This module has no direct requirements, but some languages may have their own requirements to fulfill before you get code completion in them (and some languages may lack code completion support altogether). Run $ doom doctor to find out if you're missing any dependencies. Note that corfu may have support for completions in languages that have no development intelligence, since it supports generic, context insensitive candidates such as file names or recurring words. Snippets may also appear in the candidate list if available.

Code completion

By default, completion gets triggered after typing 2 non-space consecutive characters, or by means of the C-SPC keybinding at any moment. While the popup is visible, the following relevant keys are available:

Keybind Description
<down> Go to next candidate
<up> Go to previous candidate
C-n Go to next candidate
C-p Go to previous candidate
C-j (evil) Go to next candidate
C-k (evil) Go to previous candidate
C-<down> Go to next doc line
C-<up> Go to previous doc line
C-S-n Go to next doc line
C-S-p Go to previous doc line
C-S-j (evil) Go to next doc line
C-S-k (evil) Go to previous doc line
C-h Toggle documentation (if available)
s-<down> Export to minibuffer (if :completion vertico)
s-j (evil) Export to minibuffer (if :completion vertico)
RET Insert candidate
C-SPC (when completing) Insert separator (see below)
C-SPC Complete (unless :completion corfu +tng)

If you prefer a TAB-centric completion style, enable the :completion corfu +tng flag so that, instead, you trigger completion with TAB, getting the following additional binds:

Keybind Description
TAB Complete
TAB (when completing) Go to next candidate
S-TAB (when completing) Go to previous candidate

Searching with multiple keywords

If the +orderless flag is enabled, users can perform code completion with multiple search keywords by use of space as separator. More information can be found here. Pressing C-SPC again while completing inserts a space as separator. This allows searching with space-separated terms; each piece will match individually and in any order, with smart casing. Pressing just SPC acts as normal and restarts completion, so that when typing sentences it doesn't try to complete the whole sentence instead of just the word.

Exporting to the minibuffer (requires :completion vertico)

When using the doom-module::completion vertico module, which pulls in the doom-package:consult package, the entries shown in the completion popup can be exported to a consult minibuffer, giving access to all the manipulations the vertico suite allows. For instance, one could use this to export with doom-package:embark via C-c C-l and get a buffer with all candidates.

Configuration

A few variables may be set to change behavior of this module:

var:corfu-auto-delay
Number of seconds till completion occurs automatically. Defaults to 0.1.
var:corfu-auto-prefix
Number of characters till auto-completion starts to happen. Defaults to 2.
var:+corfu-want-multi-component
Sets whether orderless-style matching should be supported with space as a separator.
var:corfu-on-exact-match
Configures behavior for exact matches. Its default is nil, and it's recommended to leave it at that. Otherwise, single matches on snippet keys expand immediately.
