# Deprecated

This package is not working with recent Emacs version and there are no plans to support it. Please use awesome [corfu](https://github.com/minad/corfu) instead wich does the same thing but in more nicely way.

# emacs-completions-frame

Show \*Completions\* buffer in child frame.

Basically it's the function for `display-buffer-alist` with some child frame's position and size manipulation:

- Completions frame placed near the point;

- It is placed above or below point depending on completions frame height and available space around the point;

- Initial frame width is set to 1 so completion list is arranged in single column. This behavior can be configured via `completions-frame-width` variable.

## Company

This package is mainly for those who prefer built-in `completion-at-point` for completions. Happy [company-mode](http://company-mode.github.io) users can take a look at [company-box](https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box), [company-posframe](https://github.com/tumashu/company-posframe), etc. But `company-mode` users still may find this package useful: minibuffer completions are also shown in the child frame! Like this:
