As per a recent discussion on the mailing list, I'm using the following to enable persistence and extended length of the clock history:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Org clock-in
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
(setq org-clock-persist t)
;;; * Orgmode Modules
(add-to-list 'org-modules 'habits)
;; Number of clock tasks to remember in history.
(setq org-clock-history-length 35) ; 1 to 9 + A to Z
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It works great, with one annoying problem: now that I have a list that goes to M, it can be hard to figure out which shortcut goes to which item. I can think of two possible solutions:
1. Alternately highlight lines, or underline (spreadsheet/table style)
2. Preferably, since I use Helm, if there were simply an autocomplete prompt (like switch-buffer; no shortcut keys) this would actually be easiest.
Can I disable the special pop-up screen (i.e. `org-clock-select-task') and just use an shortcut-less autocomplete prompt (which, with helm will be facilitated)?

So being new to elisp, I'm hoping there's a simple hack to disable the org-clock-select-task menu and go to a default (e.g. `C-x b' or `C-x f') style "type your option" interface that will would be populated with and return the same thing as the select-task-menu?
I've been looking at the elisp behind the buffer switching functions and I'm afraid it's beyond me; perhaps the "default" of invoking a prompt and passing autocompletion values isn't as simple as I'd hoped?
