Could corfu be configured to show the popup when there is only one exact match?

[galeo]

For example, the current prefix is a>b*>c, and the sole completion item is also a>b*>c. I found that corfu's popup has been unable to display. I briefly looked at case 1) "Single exactly matching candidate and no further completion is possible" in corfu--exhibit and found that in this case only corfu-quit or corfu--done can be executed.

Could this behavior be adjusted and corfu can be configured to display the popup in this situation?

Thanks.

Sure, we could add the value show to corfu-on-exact-match. We have to think about the exact semantics if auto completion or manual completion is used, and have to check if this makes sense. Let's try this. Feel free to propose a patch. Thanks!

Here is a screenshot in vscode. As the emmet abbreviation is entered, the expanded markup is updated simultaneously. The entered prefix itself is the exact completion candidate.

I just tried company-mode and it works. I think corfu should get this ability to support this scenario.

Let's try this. Feel free to propose a patch.

I'll try it when I have time, but probably not too soon. I hope you can think about it. Thanks.

The Emmet auto expansion feature is interesting, but feels a bit like an abuse of the completion mechanism. I haven't tried the Emmet Emacs package for a long time. The last time I looked it wasn't maintained.

I'll try it when I have time, but probably not too soon.

Looking forward to it.
