Documentation

Default settings for specific completion categories.

Each entry has the shape (CATEGORY . ALIST) where ALIST is an association list that can specify properties such as:
- styles: the list of completion-styles to use for that category.
- cycle: the completion-cycle-threshold to use for that category.
- cycle-sort-function: function to sort entries when cycling.
- display-sort-function: function to sort entries in *Completions*.
- group-function: function for grouping the completion candidates.
- annotation-function: function to add annotations in *Completions*.
- affixation-function: function to prepend/append a prefix/suffix.

Categories are symbols such as buffer and file, used when completing buffer and file names, respectively.

Also see completion-category-overrides.
