Variable: icomplete-in-buffer

icomplete-in-buffer is a customizable variable defined in icomplete.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

If non-nil, use Icomplete when completing in buffers other than minibuffer.

This affects commands like completion-in-region, but not commands that use their own completions setup.

If you would prefer to see only Icomplete's in-buffer display, but do not want the "*Completions*" buffer to pop up in those cases, add this advice to your init file:

  (advice-add 'completion-at-point
              :after #'minibuffer-hide-completions)

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.
