vertico-next-group without changing group order?

[jeffy1009]

I've seen #63, and I partly agree that cycling variant can be useful.
But sometimes, for example, when using consult-git-grep, I want to quickly go through the previews of different files matching result.
vertico-next-group is a natural fit for this, but since it changes group order and resets the index, I can't easily know if I looked all the matching files or not.
What would be a best way to achieve this?

I don't understand the question. Cycling preserves the order of the groups, well, it cycles. Maybe you want a non-cycling variant of the commands? Maybe someone has already written such commands (see the wiki or the issue tracker, in particular #91).

[jeffy1009]

What I mean is, consult-git-grep (or its siblings) shows matches from the same file in a group, and if I press M-}, the next file comes to the top of the list and the index is reset, e.g., 1/893. This makes it hard to track how many files I have previewed, and how many are left.
Perhaps what I want is the non-cycling version of the commands. I can't find any code from the old issues; I'll look at the source code if I can create one.

Also maybe I want this behavior only for some of the consult-xxx commands.

[minad]

Yes, non-cycling version might help then. I have no interest in adding such commands though, since I prefer the cycling variants and for the reasons given in #91. I would anyway recommend that you use embark-collect or embark-export to get a persistent buffer for your review.

Oh, maybe embark-collect could be better for my purposes. Thanks.
It seems the preview is broken for now? I'll wait for oantolin/embark#788 to be merged.
