I just found out that Emacs have a mode called Fido-vertical-mode, which is basically like having a basic helm or ivy + "historic command" + fuzzy search out of the box without any configuration. And this even though I've been using Emacs since version 24, yeah not very old but... Long enough for missing these feature. Now am wondering what else did I really miss in these latest versions. I find it in a reddit post in this sub while trying to get into vertico which is apparently is the "new" Ivy.

> Now am wondering what else did I really miss in these latest versions. `C-h n` and read the NEWS file?

I know about the NEWS (this week) but didn't know it was buil-in.

Ohh, and I just find about `M-x restart-emacs`.

You'll never find all the features. You're going to spend the rest of your life making these discoveries.

NEWS aside, `M-x customize-changed`

also fido-vertical-mode is basically made for ido users, but it's not really reccomended unless you are used to ido. I would suggest icomplete-vertical-mode, which is more usable imo. EDIT: Forgot to mention, I also use icomplete-vertical-mode.

I try it but it didn't have fuzzy search like fido-vertical-mode which is a MUST for me coming from Sublime.

Huu there's also duplicate-dwim command built in. Had it before from copy/pasting on the internet.

u/mickeyp publishes nice summaries of each version with commentary. Here's the one for Emacs 28.1: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/whats-new-in-emacs-28-1

Yeah but they don't use screenshots unfortunately.
