"The history of #Emacs completion frameworks is a progression from monolithic solutions toward composable ones."

This is a comprehensive summary, with a thorough and fair history. A long read, but worth it.

I plateaued at #Vertico #Orderless #Marginalia #Consult years ago. Maybe time to learn the others, one at a time.

A daily challenge to chain words together @ https://wordwallgame.com

I've recently added `consult-line` and `consult-focus-lines` to my #Emacs #Consult configuration and made `consult-line` the default search in lieu of `isearch-forward`. It seems to be working well, no apparent drawbacks so far.

```
(use-package consult
:bind
(("C-s" . consult-line)
("C-S-s" . consult-focus-lines)))

(use-package orderless
:config
(setq completion-styles '(orderless))
(setq completion-category-defaults nil)
(setq completion-category-overrides
'((file (styles basic partial-completion orderless)))))
```

maybe I'm tired and I forget some basics -

How do I tell denote in emacs to search for a term (say "linux") but NOT from my blog folder?

usual usage is with consult-denote-find, I want to have it ignore anything from the blog folder temporarily.

“#AnthonyAlbanese released a joint statement with the #Singaporean prime minister, #LawrenceWong, reaffirming the two nations would continue #trading in #energy.

#Singapore is one of the major sources of oil imported into #Australia; there has been growing concern from energy experts that nations will start keeping #oil for their own domestic consumption instead of exporting their usual amounts, following a statement from #Malaysia last week that the country’s government would “prioritise our own needs”.

The Australia-Singapore statement said the two countries would “support the flow of essential goods including petroleum oils, such as diesel, and liquefied natural gas between our two countries, and to #notify and #consult each other on any #disruptions with ramifications on the trade of energy.”

Imagine an #LNP / #OneNation response to #Australia’s energy crisis? ⛽️🛢️
