I can't get the suggsted configuration for integration with Company to work.

A minimal config would be good to have. But to be clear - the only backend included should be company-capf since this is the only one which can use Orderless. Which capf do you use, lsp-mode, eglot, elisp, ...? The capf is the layer below company-capf, the actual backend.

In case you recall the specific issues you had with Corfu I would be interested in hearing them. The package changed quite a bit in recent months so it may be better now. On the other hand some backend issues may still not be fixed - this is not in my hands. Corfu grew out a bit out of my personal frustration with the complexity of Company (intermediate backends, configuration difficulties, company-capf and the lack of integration in Emacs). My personal Corfu configuration is quite simple (like the one from the README) and just works.

Orderless support in Company is highly dependent on the backend. It only works with company-capf, and also only with a subset of the available Capfs (completion-at-point-functions). Which backend do you use? It would be ideal if you paste a minimal configuration which demonstrates the issue.

(You could also give my Corfu package a try as an alternative to Company. It has been designed with better Orderless support in mind and has other advantages. However it may be a bit too much to ask to switch the UI if you are happy with your overall completion setup via Company.)

Hi,
Thanks your response!
I have the following value for company-backends:
(company-capf (:separate company-dabbrev company-yasnippet company-ispell))

I'll try to work out a workable minimal config later today.

I did actually go through configuring corfu a little while ago but eventually gave up as I couldn't get the kinks out of the functionality as I was used to it in all major modes (automatical pop-up, hitting C-SPC for manually triggering + orderless using SPC or C-SPC as a separator)

Thanks again.
