Consult Alternatives

consult reviews and mentions

• Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
  17 projects | /r/emacs | 9 Dec 2023

  BTW, as an alternative to swiper, you can check out consult-line and related commands from consult.

• Project grep search with folded results, navigable file preview, search term and results window retention?
  1 project | /r/emacs | 21 Nov 2023

  Consult is what you are looking for: https://github.com/minad/consult In particular try consult-ripgrep

• Emacs 29.1 Released
  12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Jul 2023

  Emacs has code peek.

  With lsp-mode it has that little window: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-ui/#lsp-ui-peek

  Personally I use eglot with consult which temporarily switches the entire buffer to do the "peek" functionality rather than popping up a tiny window: https://github.com/minad/consult

• Highlight multiple lines in consult-line
  2 projects | /r/emacs | 15 Jun 2023

  Thanks for working on this! I just added a consult--maybe-recenter function in a recent commit. This is a nice idea since it can reduce the jumpiness of Consult preview quite a bit.

• Returning emacs user - what packages are common now?
  9 projects | /r/emacs | 9 May 2023

  An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.

• What's that email client doing here?
  10 projects | /r/emacs | 5 May 2023

  For the "lauch workspaces", I use burly which just uses simple bookmarks. Then with consult, I just use C-x b, then m to narrow to bookmarks and I have all the workspaces available (remote as well).

• Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster?
  9 projects | /r/emacs | 23 Apr 2023

  Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

• Which package manager should I use?

  They're still coming in. This one is from yesterday: https://github.com/minad/consult/issues/793

• Alternative keyboard layouts
  5 projects | /r/emacs | 19 Mar 2023

  If you like meow-visit also try imenu it is built into Emacs and can be very useful either by itself or as part of consult. consult also has a consult-mark function that can be helpful, meow kind of breaks it since it makes a lot of marks.
