cape-bbdb.el - Completion for the BBDB
Cape-bbdb is an Emacs package that provides a Completion At Point Extensions for the BBDB. It can be used in combination with Corfu, Company or the default completion UI.
When scrolling over the candidates, a preview shows the full BBDB entry for the selected candidate.
Configuration
You can register the cape-bbdb function for the message mode, using the
following code:
;; Enable Corfu completion UI
;; See the Corfu README for more configuration tips.
(use-package corfu
:config
(global-corfu-mode))
;; Activate BBDB completion for message mode.
(use-package cape-bbdb
:config
(setq message-completion-alist
`((,message-newgroups-header-regexp . ,#'message-expand-group)
(,message-email-recipient-header-regexp . ,#'cape-bbdb))))
;; Use email icon.
(use-package nerd-icons-corfu
:config
(add-to-list 'nerd-icons-corfu-mapping
'(email :style "oct" :icon "mail" :face default)))Caveats
The character , is used to separate email adresses in fields like To and
Cc. So it won't work in Orderless if you configured to use it, for example as
a separator in variable orderless-component-separator.
The character @ is also usefull in email adresses and won't work as expected
in Orderless, for example if you configured it to filter using the annotation.
Entering name@ would then show nothing as name is not in the annotation, but
name@e would again show the candidate name@example.com just like name did.
