Not able to match space character with consult-line

[david-alvarez-rosa]

I'm not able to match space character " " when using consult-line.

For instance, given the below code snippet

int main() {
  auto my_string{"Emacs is so cool!"};
}

I have not way of matching is so sequence.

I assume you use the Orderless completion style? You can set orderless-component-separator to orderless-escapable-split-on-space and then escape the space with backlash.

Thank you @minad—that works indeed!

Or you can use the Emacs regexp \s- to match a space (this would work with orderless's default settings too).

Thanks @oantolin!
