Register

• ‘consult-register’: Select from list of registers. The command supports narrowing to register types and preview of marker positions. This command is useful to search the register contents. For quick access use the commands ‘consult-register-load’, ‘consult-register-store’ or the built-in Emacs register commands.

• ‘consult-register-format’: Set ‘register-preview-function’ to this function for an enhanced register formatting. Used automatically by ‘consult-register-window’.

• ‘consult-register-window’: Replace ‘register-preview’ with this function for a better register window. See the example configuration.

• ‘consult-register-load’: Utility command to quickly load a register. The command either jumps to the register value or inserts it.

• ‘consult-register-store’: Improved UI to store registers depending on the current context with an action menu. With an active region, store/append/prepend the contents, optionally deleting the region when a prefix argument is given. With a numeric prefix argument, store/add the number. Otherwise store point, file, buffer, frameset, window or kmacro. Usage examples:

  • ‘M-' x’: If no region is active, store point in register ‘x’. If a region is active, store the region in register ‘x’.
  • ‘M-' M-w x’: Store window configuration in register ‘x’.
  • ‘C-u 100 M-' x’: Store number in register ‘x’.
