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
