Completion categories

[k4leg]

Emacs has different completion styles. It would be nice if Projectile had categories like projectile-find-file or projectile-find-dir, or at least used built-in categories (like use file category for projectile-find-file command).

I'm not sure what those categories you refer to are, so some examples would be useful.

For example, the following code adds a useful partial-completion completion style for file category. Thus, a completion like ~/.l/s/fo can expand to ~/.local/share/fonts, and can be used in the find-file (or similar) command.

(setq completion-styles '(basic orderless))
(setq completion-category-overrides
      '((file (styles . (basic partial-completion orderless)))))
