Some consult commands that come with preview not respect window prefix commands

[IceAsteroid]

I just found that pressing C-x 4 4 or C-x 4 1 doesn't work for consult commands like consult-buffer and consult-man, despite that consult also ships with a command `consult-buffer-other-window' that does exactly this.

But some consult commands that come with preview simply do not respect such a prefix command.

Yes, the C-x 4 4 prefix maps to other-window, which is a relatively recent addition to Emacs and as far as I understand needs some special treatment in Consult. IOW this is not implemented yet.

@IceAsteroid Do you have an idea what would be needed to make it work?

Seems to work fine for me.

I think it works mostly, but not for all Consult commands. I've seen similar reports before. In any case, this needs a more thorough investigation.
