Displaying the shortcut keys and their corresponding function names below Emacs is very user-friendly. How can I enable it?

Check out suggest-key-bindings variable, the package in screenshot is https://github.com/tarsius/keycast

If more of a history is required, then https://github.com/lewang/command-log-mode is also very useful. It shows commands in a separate buffer. I found this especially useful when learning or accidentally hitting incorrect key combinations or doing a demo. I've used keycast in my screencasts too, its very nice. It can also show the keys in the tab page and window heading.

re: command-log-mode, there's the built-in view-lossage

jf03:06:33

just out of curiosity, does anybody know what the theme is in the OP screenshot?

Alexwanng12:06:28

(setq package-list
    '(paredit ;; or personal preference. parinfer is also good
      cider
      clojure-mode
      nord-theme
      async
      ob-async
      ob-clojurescript
      org-babel-eval-in-repl
      eval-in-repl))

`nord-theme

Does the M-x command support general queries instead of exact queries? For example, I can’t remember cider-insert-last-sexp-in-repl, can I just input cider insert repl to match it?

oyakushev13:06:01

Helm, for example, has helm-M-x which supports that

There's the built-in fido-mode and fido-vertical-mode : http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_fido_mode.html Or vertico is also very popular (https://github.com/minad/vertico)

You need to customize completion-styles variable, it's possible to make it work with almost any completion package, including built-in.

if you want to use spaces to separate matches, you might consider https://github.com/oantolin/orderless

> There’s the built-in fido-mode and fido-vertical-mode : Yeah, it worked! There is a restriction, the order needs to be correct. > if you want to use spaces to separate matches, you might consider https://github.com/oantolin/orderless It seems to meet the requirements, but I was not successful. I am not familiar with Emacs. 😞 I will take another look when I have the chance.

djm15:06:40

Yes, orderless will help with not needing the order to be correct

vemv15:06:45

I use https://github.com/nonsequitur/smex - probably considered old-school by now. Does the right thing, 'set it and forget it' 🙂

djm15:06:08

Probably the easiest way to get orderless working would be to turn off fido, and use it with vertico, copying the vertico and orderless config here: https://github.com/minad/vertico?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration (not that the orderless bit is just after the rest)
