Watch the recording on YouTube!
If you tried out Vertico after the video on Monday, you probably wondered how you can get back to the level of functionality you had with Ivy.
Today we're going to survey the set of commands that come with the Consult package to figure out which will be useful for the transition away from Ivy.
I'll be making a video on this soon, but today we'll be figuring it out together!
TIP: You should set consult-project-root-function to something like this if you use Projectile:
(defun dw/get-project-root ()
(when (fboundp 'projectile-project-root)
(projectile-project-root)))
One bit of functionality I got used to in Ivy was how the counsel-find-file command would go up a directory whenever I pressed Backspace. Here's how to replicate it in Vertico!
(defun dw/minibuffer-backward-kill (arg)
"When minibuffer is completing a file name delete up to parent
folder, otherwise delete a character backward"
(interactive "p")
(if minibuffer-completing-file-name
;; Borrowed from https://github.com/raxod502/selectrum/issues/498#issuecomment-803283608
(if (string-match-p "/." (minibuffer-contents))
(zap-up-to-char (- arg) ?/)
(delete-minibuffer-contents))
(delete-backward-char arg)))
;; This is not a full config, just an example of the :bind!
(use-package vertico
:bind (:map minibuffer-local-map
("<backspace>" . dw/minibuffer-backward-kill)))
