A better all-the-icons-completion: support for more categories and QOL improvements

aregak2005 · 2022-10-17 14:45
Hey everyone, I just released a fork of all-the-icons-completion. I've added support for more completion categories (imenu, M-x, and more) by taking code from all-the-icons-ivy-rich. I've also added a few quality of life improvements, like proper icon aligning and scaling (once again ported from all-the-icons-ivy-rich). If you use all-the-icons-completion I'd recommend giving my fork a try. [Github link](https://github.com/MintSoup/all-the-icons-completion)

Thanks, u/aregak2005! Out of curiosity, why did you fork and not contribute to the source?

Sounds great! Can I suggest that you submit a pull request to the upstream repo with your improvements? (Looks like it might even close an open issue in that repo) That will also make your code more easily useful to other people, since that package is available on melpa.

The author seems pretty inactive, so I decided to fork it because I don't think it's gonna get merged anytime soon. I'll make a PR anyway, as maintaining a separate package is a hassle for me too. Until it gets merged, we'll have to live with my fork :D
