Spacemacs by default comes with company for autocomplete. When typing, it shows all kinds of symbols matching what I have typed so far. This list can be very long.
Is there any way to search in the currently available completions?
Example: Say I want to add a key to an evil-mode keymap.
(define-key evil- will show a bunch of options but now I would like to filter those for the ones that also contain map.
Use C-s (company-search-candidates), use C-h f company-search-candidates to learn more:
company-search-candidates is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
company.el.(company-search-candidates)
Start searching the completion candidates incrementally.
Search can be controlled with the commands:
company-search-repeat-forward(C-s)
company-search-repeat-backward(C-r)company-search-abort(C-g)company-search-delete-char(DEL)Regular characters are appended to the search string.
Customize
company-search-regexp-functionto change how the input is interpreted when searching.The command
company-search-toggle-filtering(C-o) uses the search string to filter the completion candidates.
