+ In order to get accustomed with the package ecosystem the following approach

+
+ 1. Start with plain Emacs.
+ 2. Install and enable Vertico to get incremental minibuffer completion.
+ 3. Install Orderless and/or configure the built-in completion styles
+ for more flexible minibuffer filtering.
+ 4. Install Marginalia if you like rich minibuffer annotations.
+ 5. Install Embark and add two keybindings for ~embark-dwim~ and ~embark-act~.
+ I am using =M-.= and =C-.=. These commands allow you to act on the object
+ at point or in the minibuffer.
+ 6. Install Consult if you want additional featureful completion commands,
+ e.g, the buffer switcher ~consult-buffer~ with preview or the line-based
+ search ~consult-line~.
+
+ You don't have to use all of these components. Use only the ones you like and
+ the ones which fit well into your setup. In steps 1. to 4. no new commands
are
+ introduced over plain Emacs. In step 5. the new commands ~embark-act~ and
+ ~embark-dwim~ are introduced. In step 6. you get the Consult commands, some
offer
+ new functionality not present in Emacs already (e.g., ~consult-line~) and
+ some are substitutes (e.g., ~consult-buffer~ for ~switch-to-buffer~).
+
+ There are some special setting you may want to add to your configuration. In
+ case you want to use Vertico for completion-at-point/completion-in-region,
you
+ can use the function ~consult-completion-in-region~ provided by the Consult
