@zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami 100 stars on github somehow although the byte compiler is weird about my macro bullshit sometimes lmk if you want any features or shit breaks https://codeberg.org/cosmicexplorer/helm-rg i used to recommend deadgrep by wilfred hughes which was a really thoughtful bit of UI i was too lazy to do better than but he's a slopper now. if you can convince me to work on this again i would feel better about actually defeating him in the marketplace of ideas though

@zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami if you mean vertico for general completion then yes, it will pull in helm as a library and use it for the UI but that won't infect anything else. tbh i'm incredibly pissed off at helm after they tried to tell MELPA to delist my package since they made one themselves. thierry volpiatto can fite me irl

@zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami helm also tends to just break shit every so often for fun i just need to get my act together and move to something else. never heard of vertico before tbh i'll have to check it out

@hipsterelectron @zzt @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami
vertico + orderless is a great combo

@hipsterelectron @Lunaphied @clayote @Colman @techokami what in the fuck, now I’m actively glad I don’t use helm
but anyway yes I’m gonna pull your package in next time I regenerate my session!
(some inside baseball on how my distro currently works, I build emacs and all its packages in one step but the old one gets orphaned so I have to restart my session right after I do it. what I need to do is make sessions user packages and hold a symlink to the currently running session somewhere but I have not done this yet)

@zzt @hipsterelectron tangentially related but I am always confused by the minad suite. I have never been able to figure out/remember what is needed for what and I end up installing all of them and getting further confused.

@hipsterelectron whats the deal with Helm? I have heard of it but I dont know if its meant to be a specific package that cannot be installed with others or something. Like I have heard ido and ivy do similar things

@zardoz so all of these plug into completing-read and shit. the reason this is confusing is because if you M-x helm-mode it takes over all your completions everywhere and it has some incredibly half-assed defaults (i personally find it unusable for C-x C-f, which i use ido for, which also has fantastic LRU ranking for this while otherwise going by lex sort)

@zardoz helm's problem is that thierry volpiatto is a prick https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/117441114505968470
