Insert paths into the minibuffer prompt
Consult-dir implements commands to easily switch between "active" directories. The directory candidates are collected from user bookmarks, projectile project roots (if available), project.el project roots and recentf file locations. The `default-directory' variable not changed in the process. Call `consult-dir' from the minibuffer to choose a directory with completion and insert it into the minibuffer prompt, shadowing or deleting any existing directory. The file name input is retained. This lets the user switch to distant directories very quickly when finding files, for instance. Call `consult-dir' from a regular buffer to choose a directory with completion and then interactively find a file in that directory. The command run with this directory is configurable via `consult-dir-default-command' and defaults to `find-file'. Call `consult-dir-jump-file' from the minibuffer to asynchronously find a file anywhere under the directory that is currently in the prompt. This can be used with `consult-dir' to quickly switch directories and find files at an arbitrary depth under them. `consult-dir-jump-file' uses `consult-find' under the hood. To use this package, bind `consult-dir' and `consult-dir-jump-file' under the `minibuffer-local-completion-map' or equivalent, and `consult-dir' to the global map. (define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map (kbd "C-x C-d") #'consult-dir) (define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map (kbd "C-x C-j") #'consult-dir-jump-file) (define-key global-map (kbd "C-x C-d") #'consult-dir) Directory sources configuration: - To make recent directories available, turn on `recentf-mode'. - To make projectile projects available, turn on projectile-mode and configure `consult-dir-project-list-function'. Note that Projectile is NOT required to install this package. - To make project.el projects available, configure `consult-dir-project-list-function'. To change directory sources or their ordering, customize `consult-dir-sources'.
