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`.
