digit arguments for vertico-next and vertico-previous about vertico HOT 3 CLOSED

Vertico feels blazing fast in comparison!

That's what it is made for 😄

But naturally, I find myself missing the full buffer editing features, like jumping to candidates with isearch/avy or digit arguments on movement commands.

I think such features are less useful in the minibuffer, since the minibuffer only shows a tiny excerpt of all the candidates (@oantolin likes to tell that minibuffer completion is like looking at the candidates through a pinhole ;). Of course you can always embar-collect-snapshot to get a full buffer to search inside. The idea of minibuffer completion from my perspective is to avoid the context switch to isearch, you are already entering a search string - so why suddenly switch the search modus to isearch?

Supporting prefix arguments can certainly be considered, in particular since it aligns the movement with regular buffer movement.

• vertico-next/previous -> jump by n lines
• vertico-insert -> insert nth candidate
• vertico-exit -> insert nth candidate
• vertico-save -> save nth candidate
