miniblog.

I've finally added an incremental search option to deadgrep! https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v012 I also learnt that incremental tools don't do anything clever with the minibuffer: they just call read-char in a loop.

One really nice aspect of fzf completion for ctrl-r is the ability to view multiple candidates at once. It's easier to only show one option to the user, but it's less useful. (VS Code's Command Palette and modern Emacs minibuffer packages also have this advantage.)

Reading the future with Emacs, or why M-n is useful in the minibuffer: https://engineering.collbox.co/post/working-faster-in-emacs-by-reading-the-future/ (An excellent Emacs tip, which works in deadgrep too!)
