About this film
In this video I showcase my new package, mct.el . It makes the default completion experience feel closer to what you get with vertically aligned third-party completion interfaces, by only re-using built-in functionality and its own glue code. Quoting from its documentation : Minibuffer and Completions in Tandem, also known as “MCT”, “Mct”, mct, or mct.el, is a package that enhances the default minibuffer and *Completions* buffer of Emacs 28 (or higher) so that they work together as part of a unified framework. The idea is to make the presentation and overall functionality be consistent with other popular, vertically aligned completion UIs while leveraging built-in functionality. The main feature set that unifies the minibuffer and the *Completions* buffer consists of commands that cycle between the two, making it seem like they are part of a contiguous space. MCT tries to find a middle ground between the frugal defaults and the more opinionated completion UIs. This is most evident in its approach on how to present completion candidates.
