Subject: Re: Bug? org-set-tags never uses ido
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2014 23:22:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53165242.2060704@gmail.com> (raw)

Looking at this again I realize that the reason for this behavior is 
that we want completion of possibly several tags. This is what the 
"org-tags-completion-function" does when supplied as the second argument 
of "completing-read". As "ido-completing-read" and 
"org-iswitchb-completing-read" doesn't support this, they are not used.

I don't know if there would be a way of getting both ido and multiple 
input. As it is now though, it's pretty meaningless to have that call to 
org-icompleting-read there as it never gets activated. It could as well be:

(completing-read "Tags: "
	'org-tags-completion-function
	nil nil current 'org-tags-history)))))


Cheers,
Anders Johansson
