How preview find file without close minibuffer

Question

Emacs 27.1

packages:

consult
embark

I want to find test.txt file in folder temp.

I do this.

Now I want to preview selected file without close minibuffer. In embark I'm not operation for this.

How I can do this?

Answer 1

Can't answer for Consult etc., sorry.

But Icicles lets you display and visit any number of files in the same minibuffer, that is, for the same command invocation, e.g., C-x 4 f.

Icicles commands that access files are generally multi-commands, which means just that: you can act on any number of completion candidates in the same command invocation.

See Icicles - File-Name Input for more info about Icicles commands that read file names.

Answer 2

Since Embark itself does not have a preview function, you might be able to do it with embark-consult:

(use-package embark-consult
             :ensure t
             :hook
             (embark-collect-mode . consult-preview-at-point-mode))
