Emacs commands hints and history

Question

I just reinstalled Emacs from scratch and I am missing a extension that showed hints about the commands i am typing in the command line. It also showed a history of what i used before.

It looked something like:

M-x list-p {list-packages} {example-command} {example-ex1} {example-ex2}

I have just a basic setup with prelude right now. I really need this extension. I learned a lot from it.

Answer 1

It's maybe ido-mode (M-x ido-mode) or a bit different emacs-helm
