When Emacs prompts for +a string from a list of several possible choices, Ivy springs into +action to assist in narrowing and picking the right string from a vast +number of choices. + + Ivy strives for minimalism, simplicity, customizability and +discoverability. + +Minimalism +.......... + + Uncluttered minibuffer is minimalism. Ivy shows the completion + defaults, the number of matches, and 10 candidate matches below the + input line. Customize ‘ivy-height’ to adjust the number of + candidate matches displayed in the minibuffer. + +Simplicity +.......... + + Simplicity is about Ivy’s behavior in the minibuffer. It is also + about the code interface to extend Ivy’s functionality. The + minibuffer area behaves as close to ‘fundamental-mode’ as possible. + ‘SPC’ inserts a space, for example, instead of being bound to the + more complex ‘minibuffer-complete-word’. Ivy’s code uses + easy-to-examine global variables; avoids needless complications + with branch-introducing custom macros. + +Customizability +............... + + Customizability is about being able to use different methods and + interfaces of completion to tailor the selection process. For + example, adding a custom display function that points to a selected + candidate with ‘>’, instead of highlighting the selected candidate + with the ‘ivy-current-match’ face (see ‘ivy-format-function’). Or + take the customization of actions, say after the candidate function + is selected. ‘RET’ uses ‘counsel-describe-function’ to describe + the function, whereas ‘M-o d’ jumps to that function’s definition + in the code. The ‘M-o’ prefix can be uniformly used with + characters like ‘d’ to group similar actions. + +Discoverability +............... + + Ivy displays easily discoverable commands through the hydra + facility. ‘C-o’ in the minibuffer displays a hydra menu. It opens + up within an expanded minibuffer area. Each menu item comes with + short documentation strings and highlighted one-key completions. + So discovering even seldom used keys is simply a matter of ‘C-o’ in + the minibuffer while in the midst of the Ivy interaction. This + discoverability minimizes exiting Ivy interface for documentation + look-ups. + + +File: ivy.info, Node: Installation, Next: Getting started, Prev: Introduction, Up: Top + +2 Installation +************** + +Install Ivy automatically through Emacs’s package manager, or manually +from Ivy’s development repository. + + Emacs 24.3 is the oldest version to run Ivy.

For the latest +stable version, use the GNU ELPA archives using the above M-x command. + + For current hourly builds, use the MELPA archives. In MELPA, Ivy is +split into three packages: ‘ivy’, ‘swiper’ and ‘counsel’; you can simply +install ‘counsel’ which will bring in the other two as dependencies. +See the code below for adding MELPA to the list of package archives: + + (require 'package) + (add-to-list 'package-archives + '("melpa" .

For +example, when viewing a list of files, one action could open it for +editing, one to view it, another to invoke a special function, and so +on. Custom actions can be added to this interface. The precise action +to call on the selected candidate can be delayed until after the +narrowing is completed. No need to exit the interface if unsure which +action to run. This delayed flexibility and customization of actions +extends usability of lists in Emacs. + +‘C-m’ or ‘RET’ (‘ivy-done’) +........................... + + Calls the default action and then exits the minibuffer. + +‘M-o’ (‘ivy-dispatching-done’) +.............................. + + Presents valid actions from which to choose. When only one action + is available, there is no difference between ‘M-o’ and ‘C-m’. + +‘C-j’ (‘ivy-alt-done’) +...................... + + When completing file names, selects the current directory candidate + and starts a new completion session there. Otherwise, it is the + same as ‘ivy-done’. + +‘TAB’ (‘ivy-partial-or-done’) +............................. + + Attempts partial completion, extending current input as much as + possible. ‘TAB TAB’ is the same as ‘C-j’ (‘ivy-alt-done’). + + Example ERT test: + + (should + (equal (ivy-with + '(progn + (ivy-read "Test: " '("can do" "can't, sorry" "other")) + ivy-text) + "c <tab>") + "can")) + +‘C-M-j’ (‘ivy-immediate-done’) +.............................. + + Exits with _the current input_ instead of _the current candidate_ + (like other commands). + + This is useful e.g. when you call ‘find-file’ to create a new + file, but the desired name matches an existing file. In that case, + using ‘C-j’ would select that existing file, which isn’t what you + want - use this command instead. + +‘C-'’ (‘ivy-avy’) +................. + + Uses avy to select one of the candidates on the current candidate + page. This can often be faster than multiple ‘C-n’ or ‘C-p’ + keystrokes followed by ‘C-m’. + + +File: ivy.info, Node: Key bindings for multiple selections and actions keep minibuffer open, Next: Key bindings that alter the minibuffer input, Prev: Key bindings for single selection action then exit minibuffer, Up: Minibuffer key bindings + +4.2.3 Key bindings for multiple selections and actions, keep minibuffer open +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +For repeatedly applying multiple actions or acting on multiple +candidates, Ivy does not close the minibuffer between commands. It +keeps the minibuffer open for applying subsequent actions. + + Adding an extra meta key to the normal key chord invokes the special +version of the regular commands that enables applying multiple actions. + +‘C-M-m’ (‘ivy-call’) +.................... + + Is the non-exiting version of ‘C-m’ (‘ivy-done’). + + Instead of closing the minibuffer, ‘C-M-m’ allows selecting another + candidate or another action. For example, ‘C-M-m’ on functions + list invokes ‘describe-function’. When combined with ‘C-n’, + function descriptions can be invoked quickly in succession. + +‘C-M-o’ (‘ivy-dispatching-call’) +................................ + + Is the non-exiting version of ‘M-o’ (‘ivy-dispatching-done’). + + For example, during the ‘counsel-rhythmbox’ completion, press + ‘C-M-o e’ to en-queue the selected candidate, followed by ‘C-n C-m’ + to play the next candidate - the current action reverts to the + default one after ‘C-M-o’. + +‘C-M-n’ (‘ivy-next-line-and-call’) +.................................. + + Combines ‘C-n’ and ‘C-M-m’. Applies an action and moves to next + line. + + Comes in handy when opening multiple files from + ‘counsel-find-file’, ‘counsel-git-grep’, ‘counsel-ag’, + ‘counsel-rg’, or ‘counsel-locate’ lists. Just hold ‘C-M-n’ for + rapid-fire default action on each successive element of the list. + +‘C-M-p’ (‘ivy-previous-line-and-call’) +...................................... + + Combines ‘C-p’ and ‘C-M-m’. + + Similar to the above except it moves through the list in the other + direction. + +‘ivy-resume’ +............ + + Recalls the state of the completion session just before its last + exit. + + Useful after an accidental ‘C-m’ (‘ivy-done’). + + +File: ivy.info, Node: Key bindings that alter the minibuffer input, Next: Other key bindings, Prev: Key bindings for multiple selections and actions keep minibuffer open, Up: Minibuffer key bindings + +4.2.4 Key bindings that alter the minibuffer input +-------------------------------------------------- + +‘M-n’ (‘ivy-next-history-element’) +.................................. + + Cycles forward through the Ivy command history. + + Ivy updates an internal history list after each action.

If the string is ‘"for example"’, it is +transformed into + + "\\(for\\).*\\(example\\)" + + which in regex terminology matches ‘"for"’ followed by a wild card +and then ‘"example"’. Note how Ivy uses the space character to build +wild cards. To match a literal white space, use an extra space. So to +match one space type two spaces, to match two spaces type three spaces, +and so on. + + As Ivy transforms typed characters into regex strings, it provides an +intuitive feedback through font highlights. + + Ivy supports regexp negation with ‘"!"’. For example, ‘"define key ! +ivy quit"’ first selects everything matching ‘"define.*key"’, then +removes everything matching ‘"ivy"’, and finally removes everything +matching ‘"quit"’. What remains is the final result set of the negation +regexp. + + Since Ivy treats minibuffer input as a regexp, the standard regexp +identifiers work: ‘"^"’, ‘"$"’, ‘"\b"’ or ‘"[a-z]"’. The exceptions are +spaces, which translate to ‘".*"’, and ‘"!"’ that signal the beginning +of a negation group. + + +File: ivy.info, Node: ivy--regex-ignore-order, Next: ivy--regex-fuzzy, Prev: ivy--regex-plus, Up: Completion Styles + +5.2 ivy–regex-ignore-order +========================== + +‘ivy--regex-ignore-order’ ignores the order of regexp tokens when +searching for matching candidates.

Ivy then selects the first candidate from + the collection that matches this symbol. To select this + pre-selected candidate, a ‘RET’ will suffice.

Since +the collection function cannot pre-compute all the locatable files in +memory within reasonable limits (time or memory), it relies on user +input to filter the universe of possible candidates to a manageable size +while also continuing to search asynchronously for possible candidates. +Both the filtering and searching continues with each character change of +the input with rapid updates to the collection presented without idle +waiting times. This live update will continue as long as there are +likely candidates. Eventually updates to the minibuffer will stop after +user input, filtering, and searching have exhausted looking for possible +candidates. + + Async collections suit long-running shell commands, such as ‘locate’. +With each new input, a new process starts while the old process is +killed.
