And why not include ivy straight into Emacs and then build on top of
it?

Also tabulated-list-mode would need built-in incremental narrowing
search. That would be great too. I have application working in that mode.

Who can help me check out the icomplete-vertical branch that I may
try? I am working on application Hyperscope that is based on
Engelbart's work and it uses browsable tabulated-list-mode. Sometimes
there are many choices, the list can be really long. Index of specific
pages in PDF file can be thousands and thousands. Of course I have
implemented incremental narrowing by using Helm and I wish to switch
it to something built-in.q I wish to give those to GNU ELPA soon. But
with focus on least number of packages from outside.

Insight with some bugs:
https://gnu.support/images/2020/11/2020-11-05/2020-11-05-22:14:01.ogv

and export to Org mode:
https://gnu.support/images/2020/11/2020-11-05/2020-11-05-22:23:20.ogv

For that system I need vertical incremental narrowing search. I would
be best if tabulated-list-mode provides such function.

Help me to checkout that ivertical branch. How do I get it?

I have tried git branch --list but I see only master.
