You can achieve sorta same thing with embark tho. There's ```embark-
become```, which let's you switch to a different minibuffer command
without losing what you already typed.

Still good post though.

Thanks! I have not tried embark yet although I heard great things
about it.

Does embark allow you also to group commands coherently? What I think
I have achieved with my little bit of Elisp is an incremental  search
that widens in scope: `current buffer -> current directory files ->
... -> emails -> the Internet`

I plan to make this increment happen automatically, so once you type
something Emacs starts do what it can to find what you need :)

I am confused, why is it necessary to comment every completion post
with „you can do this with xxx btw“? If possible, why not give a
concrete example? Why the need / urge to convert everyone to your
package of choice? In the end most of these have heavily copied from
helm anyway …

It would be nice if embark would work with Helm
