Context-aware commands completion?

Let's say I'm editing a Markdown document, markdown-mode is active. I would like to type: `M-x link TAB`, and see `markdown-insert-link` as one of the first options in the completion list, because markdown-mode is currently active. I don't want to have to enter 'markdown', that should be inferred from the context. I thought that a menus commands completion could be pretty close to what I'm looking, since often menus have the most relevant commands for the active modes. I've found [LaCarte](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LaCarte) library, that lets me execute menu-bar menu commands from the keyboard, using completion. That's pretty close to what I want, but its icycles completion is not working very well for me. I wonder if there other options out there? Or ideas on how to implement? (I can do some Emacs lisp).

Emacs 28 ships `execute-extended-command-for-buffer` which is pretty much what you want. [Here](https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2021/02/16/command-discovery-in-emacs/) is an article from Lars Ingebrigtsen that explains the feature. What version of Emacs are you using ?

I'm on Emacs 29. I'll give it a try, thanks.

Wow. That is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't expect to be so easy. Thanks!

[La Carte](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LaCarte) is independent of [Icicles](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles). La Carte makes use of `completing-read`. Whatever completion framework or `completion-styles` you use, it is *they* that determine what `completing-read` does. You should be able to use La Carte with any of them. If you do use Icicles with La Carte then you get Icicles possibilities for completing. There are a number of [completion methods](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-_Completion_Methods_and_Styles) you can use, including various fuzzy matching methods, and of course you can use `completion-styles` as usual.

Ah, good. Yes, I see I have a problem with my completion system. I have `completion-style` set to `flex` (I want it that way). But when completing, I would like the completed list to get focus and navigate it using the keyboard, not the mouse. But that's not LaCarte specific.

Just for reference, this fixed my problem with the completions list interaction: (define-key minibuffer-mode-map (kbd "<down>") 'switch-to-completions)

If you use [consult](https://github.com/minad/consult#modes), there's also `consult-mode-command`. >Run a command from the currently active minor or major modes. Supports narrowing to local-minor/global-minor/major mode via the keys `l/g/m`.
