Package: Completion with vertico, marginalia, orderless, consult, embark and others

Using Vertical and other Completions

Looking at mini-buffer completion ease of use [fn:1]

;; Vectical mini-buffer completion
;; When typing in mini-buffer, completion list will be given
(use-package vertico
  :ensure t
  :config
  (vertico-mode 1))

;; Mini-buffer list item descriptions
(use-package marginalia
  :ensure t
  :config
  (marginalia-mode 1))

;; Mini-buffer search allows words to be in any order
(use-package orderless
  :ensure t
  :config
  (setq completion-styles '(orderless basic))
  (setq completion-category-defaults nil))

;; Emacs Built in pacakages
;; Use ensure nil since packages already part of Emacs

;; Save mini-buffer history
(use-package savehist
  :ensure nil
  :config
  (savehist-mode 1))

;; Delete selections (C-SPC)
(use-package delsel
  :ensure nil
  :config
  (delete-selection-mode 1))
