Subject: Re: Bug? org-set-tags never uses ido
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:37:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <533C4AE6.3020002@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAJcAo8uZa=Vf+dPzpH3Y+vyda+5r8NQY_mTa+VhuORgpuBduew@mail.gmail.com>

A hack to get ido selection for multiple tags. It uses 
ido-completing-read-multiple (available here and included below: 
https://gist.github.com/mgalgs/1329188) to allow for completing one tag 
at a time and ending it by typing ":".

I haven't tested it much and it might possibly break things (or most 
certainly it's implemented in an ugly way). Perhaps someone more than me 
will find it useful.

Cheers,
Anders
