TAB-and-Go completion

You may be interested in configuring Corfu in TAB-and-Go style. Pressing TAB moves to the next candidate and further input will then commit the selection. Note that further input will not expand snippets or templates, which may not be desired but which leads overall to a more predictable behavior. In order to force snippet expansion, confirm a candidate explicitly with RET.

(use-package corfu
  ;; TAB-and-Go customizations
  :custom
  (corfu-cycle t)           ;; Enable cycling for `corfu-next/previous'
  (corfu-preselect 'prompt) ;; Always preselect the prompt

  ;; Use TAB for cycling, default is `corfu-complete'.
  :bind
  (:map corfu-map
        ("TAB" . corfu-next)
        ([tab] . corfu-next)
        ("S-TAB" . corfu-previous)
        ([backtab] . corfu-previous))
