Set to `consult--frame-buffer-list' for frame isolation. Alternatively use buffer functions provided by packages like [beframe]. • `consult--source-other-buffer': Buffer source which lists all buffers which missing from the list returned by `consult-buffer-list-function'. If buffers are restricted to the current frame or tab by default, then this source will list the buffers belonging to other frames or tabs. [beframe] <https://github.com/protesilaos/beframe> 2 Version 2.6 (2025-06-28) ══════════════════════════ • `consult--read', `consult--prompt': Accept a `:command' keyword argument which specifies the current command symbol to lookup the customization (see `consult-customize'). This change fixes an issue in `embark-consult'. 3 Version 2.5 (2025-06-05) ══════════════════════════ • `consult--source-buffer-register': New source for buffer registers. • `consult--jump-ensure-buffer': Reuse window if possible. • `consult-compile-error': Add prefix argument to jump to error message in the compilation buffer instead of error location. • `consult--read', `consult--prompt': Add `:command' keyword argument. Avoid overriding `this-command' for `consult-xref' and `consult-completion-in-region'. 4 Version 2.4 (2025-05-21) ══════════════════════════ • `consult-register-store': Add `M-b' action to store the buffer in a register. • `consult-compile': Ignore messages without a location. • `consult-compile': Introduce key `g' for grep locations. 5 Version 2.3 (2025-04-19) ══════════════════════════ • Bugfix: `consult--read' accepts list of symbols. • Bugfix: `consult-theme' handles invalid themes gracefully. 6 Version 2.2 (2025-04-02) ══════════════════════════ • Add `consult-info-define' to conveniently define custom `consult-info-*' commands to search through a subset of info manuals. • `consult-focus-lines': Add mode line indicator if active. • `consult-grep': Preserve empty context lines. • `consult-register-store': Support Dired buffers. 7 Version 2.1 (2025-03-11) ══════════════════════════ • Remove obsolete `consult--async-*' APIs. • File preview: Ensure that remote files do not slow down preview. • File preview: Do not preview gpg files. • `consult-yank-pop', `consult-history': Respect display properties when previewing to avoid leaking hidden data. • `consult-completion-in-region': Auto-detect completion UI. • `consult-completion-in-region': Improve handling of single candidates. 8 Version 2.0 (2025-01-28) ══════════════════════════ • New features: ⁃ `consult--multi': Add support for asynchronous sources. ⁃ `consult-man': Add preview. • *BREAKING CHANGE*: New async API ⁃ Async functions must have the uniform curried form `(lambda (sink) (lambda (action) ...)' and are composed with `consult--async-pipeline'. See the docstring of `consult--async-pipeline' for details. ⁃ `consult--read': New `:async-wrap' keyword argument. ⁃ `consult--multi': Add support for `:async' sources. ⁃ `consult--async-min-input': New async function which enforces a minimum input length. The input length check has been removed from `consult--async-split'. ⁃ `consult--async-transform': Macro converted to function. ⁃ `consult--process-collection': New function replacing `consult--async-command'. The function accepts keyword arguments to customize the pipeline. ⁃ `consult--dynamic-collection': The function accepts more keyword arguments to customize the pipeline. ⁃ `consult--async-refresh-timer' and `consult--async-refresh-immediate': Replaced by `consult--async-refresh' with a `DELAY' argument. ⁃ `consult--async-split-thingatpt' and `consult--async-split-initial': Removed since `consult--read' automatically inserts the splitter prefix if needed. • Minor changes: ⁃ Remove obsolete `consult-yank-rotate'. ⁃ Add customizable variable `consult-async-indicator'. ⁃ `consult-completion-in-region': When inside minibuffer, use minibuffer content as prompt. … …
