Demo video demonstrating some highlights

[clemera]

@revrari mentioned he might want to record another video demonstrating more highlights of Selectrum in usage with Consult, Marginalia, Orderless and Embark (CC @minad and @oantolin). This issue is for discussing ideas and features which are worth including in such a demonstration to make it interesting and give a broad enough overview of the current capabilities.

Here are some features of Selectrum that might be worth showing/mentioning in such a demo:

• General emphasis of keeping the usual minibuffer commands/features working unless we provide an enhanced replacement
• File prompts with partial input /some/long/path/ -> /so/lo/pa/
• Selection of candidates using quick keys (using M-i/M-m)
• Toggling between vertical/horizontal display style (using M-q)
• Using selectrum-display-action to display candidates outside the minibuffer
• Selecting multiple candidates via completing-read-multiple
• History browsing (using M-r) (C-i/TAB to insert and proceed, RET/C-m to select and submit)

We can still continue to discuss here! If you write a message here, all the participants in this discussion will get a notification.

@revrari I reopened it, this was just me trying to keep the issue list clean from dead threads which don't need any action from Selectrum side. Let me know when you feel it can be closed. Regarding your email I think the previous video was fine no need to redo it, it doesn't have to be perfect not need to redo the work! The discussion on reddit already highlighted the parts which might have been unclear.

No problem. I have redone the video and uploaded it to my site and also amended my reddit posted accordingly. Kindest regards, Raoul Comninos

I have redone my video on Consult which will be set to air Mar 26, 2021. I am satisfied with the one on Embark which is longer than the other three (23 minutes) because I had not previously discussed Embark. This one is set to air Mar 30, 2021. I will not be able to do any further edits or videos because we are about to enter Holy Week and I must give my full attention to that. Thank you for the opportunity to collaborate. I hope you enjoy the videos. Kind regards, Raoul
