consult-focus-line adding a possibility of seeing added lines

[mur4ik18]

Hello, I want to propose an idea to you thought off by my friend and me today while working with consult-focus-line. That idea is to add a possibility to see in the overlay modifications made by user - outside an overlay while a focus-line is active.

Use case: I have a lot of prints in python code that I used for debug, now I want to move that code on server and I need to find all prints and to duplicate them to logger.debug/info/error (don't ask me why I want to duplicate instead of replacement) so I use consult-focus-line RET print RET. Then I use duplicate-dwim for duplicate my line and now I can see added line. Even if I replaced print in added line by logger... I still able to see this in current overlay.

And If it possible I want to do it by my self and contribute in current repository. If you are agree, I want to ask u to share some advice how to implement this in better way, if you want. Thank you for your time and good package.

Thanks for the suggestion. My feeling is that this functionality is out of scope. consult-focus-lines and consult-keep-lines are meant as simple interactive filtering tools.

But what if we add some thing more like "consult-focus-and-modify-lines" =D? Some times it can be useful.

Thank you for answering!
Have a nice day!
