Special features
Consult enhances ‘completing-read’ with live previews of candidates, additional narrowing capabilities to candidate groups and asynchronously generated candidate lists. The internal ‘consult--read’ function, which is used by most Consult commands, is a thin wrapper around ‘completing-read’ and provides the special functionality. In order to support multiple candidate sources there exists the high-level function ‘consult--multi’. The architecture of Consult allows it to work with different completion systems in the backend, while still offering advanced features.
