Can I get Slime-style completion somehow in Sly?

[lispegistus]

I'm trying to switch to Sly, but I've been using slime completion since 2008 and I really don't want to change all that particular part of my muscle memory. I tried using simple completion, as I strongly dislike flex completion, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to know how to complete package names. I expect typing "alex" to complete to "alexandria:", typing again should give me completions for symbols in Alexandria. This type of "2 step" completion is something I've gotten very used to and retraining myself away from it would be a great effort for me.

Otherwise I really like Sly(good job everyone), but this is unfortunately a deal breaker for now. Is there a way I can get this kind of completion in Sly?

Ok, I took a look at the code and turned out to be easier than I thought to implement #575

I think you can just (setq sly-complete-symbol-function 'sly-simple-completions) in your .emacs. It should do the old prefix completion thing. João
