Use Consult in tandem with Denote
Integrate the `denote' and `consult' packages: - [Denote](https://github.com/protesilaos/denote) : A file-naming scheme to easily retrieve files of any type. Useful for note-taking and long-term storage files. - [Consult](https://github.com/minad/consult): Enhanced interactivity for the standard Emacs minibuffer, such as a preview mechanism for buffers and an asynchronous grep/find. The purpose of `consult-denote` is as follows: 1. **Upgrade all the minibuffer prompts of Denote:** For the time being, this means that we show a preview of the file to-be-linked or to-be-opened. Simply enable the `consult-denote-mode'. The prompts all use the same patterns as core Denote and *will never deviate from this paradigm*, such as to prettify titles or whatnot (that is an expensive operation that slows down Emacs). 2. **Easy search for the `denote-directory`:** Implement Consult-powered Grep and Find commands which operate on the `denote-directory` regardless of where they are called from. See the commands `consult-denote-grep` and `consult-denote-find'. Customise which command they call by modifying the user options `consult-denote-grep-command` and `consult-denote-find-command`. 3. **Include Denote "sources" for `consult-buffer':** This is also part of the `consult-denote-mode'. It adds new headings/groups to the interface of the `consult-buffer` command. Those lists (i) the buffers that visit Denote files, (ii) the subdirectories of the `denote-directory', and (iii) the silos listed in the value of the user option `denote-silo-extras-directories' (for those who opt in to that extension). In the future we may use other features of Consult, based on user feedback.
