"Completing read functions for specific Emacs commands.
By default `helm-mode' use `helm-completing-read-default-handler' to
provide helm completion in each `completing-read' or `read-file-name'
found, but other functions can be specified here for specific
commands. This also allows disabling helm completion for some commands
when needed.
Each entry is a cons cell like (EMACS_COMMAND . COMPLETING-READ_HANDLER)
where key and value are symbols.
However if a command is using in its definition both a `completing-read' AND
a `read-file-name' we may want to specify a handler for both of them,
this can be done by specifying value as a list of two symbols instead of
a single symbol where the 1st element of the list specify the handler for the
`completing-read' and the second the handler for the `read-file-name'.
Special symbol 'default' means use the default helm handler for either
`completing-read' or `read-file-name'.
e.g. (write-region . (default helm-read-file-name-handler-1))
means helm will use `helm-completing-read-default-handler' when
`write-region' calls `completing-read' and
`helm-read-file-name-handler-1' when it calls `read-file-name'.
Each key is an Emacs command that use originaly `completing-read'
or/and `read-file-name'.
Each value maybe a helm function that takes same arguments as
`completing-read' plus NAME and BUFFER, where NAME is the name of the new
helm source and BUFFER the name of the buffer we will use, but it can
be also a function not using helm, in this case the function should
take the same args as `completing-read' and not be prefixed by \"helm-\".
`helm' will use the name of the command calling `completing-read' as
NAME and BUFFER will be computed as well with NAME but prefixed with
\"*helm-mode-\".
This function prefix name must start by \"helm-\" when it uses helm,
otherwise `helm' assumes the function is not a helm function and
expects the same args as `completing-read', this allows you to define a
handler not using helm completion.
Example:
(defun foo/test ()
(interactive)
(message \"%S\" (completing-read \"test: \" '(a b c d e))))
(defun helm-foo/test-completing-read-handler (prompt collection
predicate require-match
initial-input hist def
inherit-input-method
name buffer)
(helm-comp-read prompt collection :marked-candidates t
:name name
:buffer buffer))
(add-to-list 'helm-completing-read-handlers-alist
'(foo/test . helm-foo/test-completing-read-handler))
We want here to make the regular `completing-read' in `foo/test'
return a list of candidate(s) instead of a single candidate.
Note that this function will be reused for ALL the `completing-read'
of this command, so it should handle all cases. E.g.,
if first `completing-read' completes against symbols and
second `completing-read' should handle only buffer,
your specialized function should handle both.
If the value of an entry is nil completion will fall back to
Emacs vanilla behaviour.
Example:
If you want to disable helm completion for `describe-function', use:
(describe-function . nil)
Ido is also supported, you can use `ido-completing-read' and
`ido-read-file-name' as value of an entry or just 'ido.
Example:
Enable ido completion for `find-file':
(find-file . ido)
same as
(find-file . ido-read-file-name)
Note that you don't need to enable `ido-mode' for this to work, see
`helm-mode' documentation."

NB: This has nothing to do with `completion-styles', it is independent from
helm, but when using 'emacs as helm-completion-style helm
will use the `completion-styles' for its completions.
Up to the user to configure `completion-styles'.
There are three possible values to use:
- helm, use multi match regular helm completion.
- helm-fuzzy, use fuzzy matching. Note that as usual when
entering a space helm switch to multi matching mode.
- emacs, use regular Emacs completion according to
`completion-styles'. Note that even in this style, helm allows using
multi match. Emacs-27 provides a style called `flex' that can be used
aside `helm' style (see `completion-styles-alist'). When `flex' style
is not available (Emacs<27) helm provides `helm-flex' style which is
similar to `flex' and helm fuzzy matching.
For a better experience with emacs style, if you don't know what to use, set
`completion-styles' to '(flex) if you are using emacs-27 or to
\'(helm-flex) if you are using emacs-26 and keep 'emacs as default
value for `helm-completion-style'. Advanced users can also have a
look to `completion-category-overrides' to set styles according to category.
You can as well use `helm-completion-styles-alist' to override
`helm-completion-style' in specific modes.
Of course when using `helm' of `helm-fuzzy' as `helm-completion-style'
emacs `completion-styles' have no effect.
Please use custom interface or `customize-set-variable' to set this,
NOT `setq'."

"Read a string in the minibuffer, with helm completion.
It is helm `completing-read' equivalent.
- PROMPT is the prompt name to use.
- COLLECTION can be a list, alist, vector, obarray or hash-table.
For alists and hash-tables their car are use as real value of
candidate unless ALISTP is non-nil.
It can be also a function that receives three arguments:
the values string, predicate and t. See `all-completions' for more details.
Keys description:
- TEST: A predicate called with one arg i.e candidate.
- INITIAL-INPUT: Same as input arg in `helm'.
- PRESELECT: See preselect arg of `helm'.
- DEFAULT: This option is used only for compatibility with regular
Emacs `completing-read' (Same as DEFAULT arg of `completing-read').
- BUFFER: Name of helm-buffer.
- MUST-MATCH: Candidate selected must be one of COLLECTION.
- FUZZY: Enable fuzzy matching.
- REVERSE-HISTORY: When non--nil display history source after current
source completion.
- REQUIRES-PATTERN: Same as helm attribute, default is 0.
- HISTORY: A symbol where each result will be saved.
If not specified as a symbol an error will popup.
When specified, all elements of HISTORY are displayed in
a special source before or after COLLECTION according to REVERSE-HISTORY.
The main difference with INPUT-HISTORY is that the result of the
completion is saved whereas in INPUT-HISTORY it is the minibuffer
contents which is saved when you exit.
Don't use the same symbol for INPUT-HISTORY and HISTORY.
NOTE: As mentionned above this has nothing to do with
`minibuffer-history-variable', therefore if you want to save this
history persistently, you will have to add this variable to the
relevant variable of your favorite tool for persistent emacs session
i.e. psession, desktop etc...
- RAW-HISTORY: When non-nil do not remove backslashs if some in
HISTORY candidates.
- INPUT-HISTORY: A symbol. The minibuffer input history will be
stored there, if nil or not provided, `minibuffer-history'
will be used instead. You can navigate in this history with
`M-p' and `M-n'.
Don't use the same symbol for INPUT-HISTORY and HISTORY.
- CASE-FOLD: Same as `helm-case-fold-search'.
- PERSISTENT-ACTION: A function called with one arg i.e candidate.
- PERSISTENT-HELP: A string to document PERSISTENT-ACTION.
- MODE-LINE: A string or list to display in mode line.
Default is `helm-comp-read-mode-line'.
- KEYMAP: A keymap to use in this `helm-comp-read'.
(the keymap will be shared with history source)
- NAME: The name related to this local source.
- HEADER-NAME: A function to alter NAME, see `helm'.
- EXEC-WHEN-ONLY-ONE: Bound `helm-execute-action-at-once-if-one'
to non--nil. (possibles values are t or nil).
- VOLATILE: Use volatile attribute.
- SORT: A predicate to give to `sort' e.g `string-lessp'
Use this only on small data as it is inefficient.
If you want to sort faster add a sort function to
FC-TRANSFORMER.
Note that FUZZY when enabled is already providing a sort function.
- FC-TRANSFORMER: A `filtered-candidate-transformer' function
or a list of functions.
- HIST-FC-TRANSFORMER: A `filtered-candidate-transformer'
function for the history source.
- MARKED-CANDIDATES: If non-nil return candidate or marked candidates as a list.
- NOMARK: When non--nil don't allow marking candidates.
- ALISTP:
When non-nil (default) pass the value of (DISPLAY . REAL)
candidate in COLLECTION to action when COLLECTION is an alist or a
hash-table, otherwise DISPLAY is always returned as result on exit,
which is the default when using `completing-read'.
See `helm-comp-read-get-candidates'.
- CANDIDATES-IN-BUFFER: when non--nil use a source build with
`helm-source-in-buffer' which is much faster.
Argument VOLATILE have no effect when CANDIDATES-IN-BUFFER is non--nil.
- MATCH-PART: Allow matching only one part of candidate.
See match-part documentation in `helm-source'.
- MATCH-DYNAMIC: See match-dynamic in `helm-source-sync'
It has no effect when used with CANDIDATES-IN-BUFFER.
- ALLOW-NEST: Allow nesting this `helm-comp-read' in a helm session.
See `helm'.
- MULTILINE: See multiline in `helm-source'.
- COERCE: See coerce in `helm-source'.
- GROUP: See group in `helm-source'.
Any prefix args passed during `helm-comp-read' invocation will be recorded
in `helm-current-prefix-arg', otherwise if prefix args were given before
`helm-comp-read' invocation, the value of `current-prefix-arg' will be used.
That means you can pass prefix args before or after calling a command
that use `helm-comp-read'. See `helm-M-x' for example."

negative arg turn off.
You can toggle it with M-x `helm-mode'.
About `ido-mode':
DO NOT enable `ido-everywhere' when using `helm-mode'. Instead of
using `ido-mode', add the commands where you want to use ido to
`helm-completing-read-handlers-alist' with `ido' as value.
Note: This mode is incompatible with Emacs23."
