You want to activate AUCTeX for your experiment. Then, the value of `completion-at-point-functions' should be: (TeX--completion-at-point t LaTeX--arguments-completion-at-point) and you should get in-buffer completion. Best, Arash

I tried both methods:
`M-: (setq tab-always-indent 'complete)` in minibuffer.
And
`C-x C-e (setq tab-always-indent 'complete)` in scratch buffer.

I use the following tex file to do the test, but nothing is completed:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\be$

I conducted some simple testings using the official example
configuration as follows:
(use-package cape
;; Bind dedicated completion commands
;; Alternative prefix keys: C-c p, M-p, M-+, ...
:bind (("C-c p p" . completion-at-point) ;; capf
("C-c p t" . complete-tag);; etags
("C-c p d" . cape-dabbrev);; or dabbrev-completion
("C-c p h" . cape-history)
("C-c p f" . cape-file)
("C-c p k" . cape-keyword)
("C-c p s" . cape-symbol)
("C-c p a" . cape-abbrev)
("C-c p l" . cape-line)
("C-c p w" . cape-dict)
("C-c p \\" . cape-tex)
("C-c p _" . cape-tex)
("C-c p ^" . cape-tex)
("C-c p &" . cape-sgml)
("C-c p r" . cape-rfc1345))
:init
;; Add `completion-at-point-functions', used by `completion-at-point'.
;; NOTE: The order matters!
(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-dabbrev)
(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-file)
;; (add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-elisp-block)
;;(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-history)
(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-keyword)
;; (add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-tex)
;;(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-sgml)
;;(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-rfc1345)
(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-abbrev)
(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-dict)
;;(add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-symbol)
;; (add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions #'cape-line)
;; Use Company backends as Capfs.
(setq-local completion-at-point-functions
(mapcar #'cape-company-to-capf
(list #'company-files #'company-ispell #'company-dabbrev)))
)
At this point, the completion result is clearly incorrect. Therefore,
further precise control is necessary.

And also the shockingly powerful description of cape given in its document [1]:
Cape has the super power to transform Company backends into Capfs and
merge multiple Capfs into a Super-Capf! These transformers allow you
to still take advantage of Company backends even if you are not using
Company as frontend.

My previous experience of such completions has been based on specific
backends of company-mode. It seems that they do not provide package
options completion.

Yes.

I got the inspiration from the discussions below, but it still seems
complicated to me to figure them out completely:
Using Corfu and Company simultaneously in different modes.
https://github.com/minad/corfu/issues/321
In-buffer completion for normal text/word with ispell + corfu + orderless.

Please feel free to try it out; maybe you report back how good it works
with other available backends. I'd be curious to know how good
completion for package names in \usepackage{} and
corresponding package options works. I suspect that in your other
message[1], you wanted to complete to 'hyperref'; that's a good example
for your experiments.

If you take a closer look, you'll see that the screenshot I sent had also a candidate "because" since I hit TAB after only 2 characters, you have 3 characters "bec" in the buffer where the completion kicks in, hence one candidate is missing.

I don't use use-package, but you'll know that it loads packages lazily, so if you're using corfu in your .tex file for the first in a fresh Emacs instance, it has to be loaded; maybe that's the reason.

Thanks for the correction. So I should have said: AUCTeX unfortunately
doesn't support in-buffer completion for \begin/\end in inline math.

Huh? Things like \begin{smallmatrix} are certainly useful in inline
math. They make it hard to pick a good way of formatting the _source_,
but the output is certainly fine.

The downside is that AUCTeX only caters for standard LaTeX and AMSTeX symbols; things like \benzenr provided by stix2 package are missing. Patches welcome. > 2.

I commented out the above code snippet, but nothing will be completed, as shown in the attached file. Here I want to point out two things: 1. As you can see, without using company-math, it seems that fewer candidates are returned. 2. Without using company-math, I noticed that I must manually run `M-x company-complete RET` to trigger the completion in math mode.

I think you need none of company-math-symbols-latex and company-latex-commands, AUCTeX offers already a Capf for both of them, so comment out that part and start company without any additions in your .tex file. > What's your corfu configuration?

I have no idea about company-math, but AUCTeX offers in-buffer completion for (La)TeX macros and math symbols; you could try that. A simple example looks like this for me: The example is with corfu and not with company. The Capf provided by AUCTeX is aware of math mode and doesn't offer math symbols outside math environments. Since AUCTeX adds its Capf to standard Emacs machinery, it should also work with standard company backends. Best, Arash
