What is it?

Minuet is an Emacs Lisp package that requests code completions from large language models while you type. It supports cloud providers including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and Codestral, as well as OpenAI-compatible endpoints and local servers such as Ollama and llama.cpp.

It offers two completion modes: chat-style prompting for chat models, and fill-in-the-middle (FIM) completion for models that support it, such as DeepSeek, Codestral and some Ollama models. Suggestions can be shown as an overlay ghost text or picked from the minibuffer, and multi-line suggestions can be accepted one line or one word at a time.

The package also includes an experimental next-edit prediction feature, minuet-duet, which proposes rewrites of the surrounding editable region based on recent edits.

Key features

  • 01Inline code completion from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Codestral and OpenAI-compatible providers
  • 02Fill-in-the-middle completion for FIM-capable models such as DeepSeek and Ollama models
  • 03Streaming responses with overlay ghost text or minibuffer selection
  • 04Accept multi-line suggestions line by line or word by word
  • 05Experimental next-edit prediction through the minuet-duet commands

Use cases

  • Getting code suggestions in Emacs while using a cloud LLM API key
  • Running completion fully locally with Ollama or llama.cpp
  • Comparing different LLM providers for code completion within one editor setup

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install minuet from ELPA or MELPA with package.el

    (package-install 'minuet)
  2. 2

    Set an API key environment variable for your chosen provider, such as OPENAI_API_KEY

  3. 3

    Configure the provider in your init file and bind keys such as M-y to minuet-complete-with-minibuffer

Things to know

  • Requires Emacs 29+ compiled with native JSON support.
  • You need an API key for a cloud provider or a locally running LLM server.
  • The next-edit prediction (minuet-duet) feature is highly experimental.
  • Previewing insertions in the buffer requires the optional consult package.
