Subject: Continue cycling from a particular element in collection
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2023 07:39:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fgkjsjNwk8YdMhlGIRO65DcViSk9wfkYUzWo87pqMLmRORhLe93c-eWknOcJCB6jGD_CodjwMnAteoDpMqWNBNmLdtYPxN_vlS3sXduQsNU=@protonmail.com> (raw)


I am using 'completing-read' with INITIAL-INPUT to prefill the minibuffer with
the first entry "alpha".  Hew can I then start at index k from collection as the 
next entry.

Thus, initially I have the minibuffer prefilled with "alpha", and after that I get the 
cycling continue from "gamma".

Thus the cycling would be "alpha" "gamma" "theta" "alpha" "beta" and so on.

  (interactive
    (let ( (csel '("alpha" "beta" "gamma" "theta"))
      (list
        (completing-read "Imprint: " csel nil t "alpha")) ))
