Emacs: modern minibuffer packages (Vertico, Consult, etc.)

Protesilaos Stavrou demonstrates how to upgrade the Emacs minibuffer experience using Vertico, Marginalia, Consult, Orderless, and Embark.

In this ~44 minute video I demonstrate packages that upgrade the experience with Emacs. They are about the minibuffer: where we interact with Emacs to call a command by its name or pick a candidate for some action. The packages I cover are `vertico`, `marginalia`, `consult`, `orderless`, and `embark`. I also mention briefly the `wgrep` package as well as the built-in `savehist-mode`, `recentf-mode`.
