I find it very useful. -- Eric >From the Comments at the top of ido.el ,---- | ;;; Commentary: | | ;; Ido - interactive do - switches between buffers and opens files and | ;; directories with a minimum of keystrokes. It is a superset of | ;; iswitchb, the interactive buffer switching package by Stephen Eglen. | | ;; Interactive substring matching | ;; ------------------------------ | ;; | ;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers or files currently | ;; matching the substring are displayed as you type. The list is | ;; ordered so that the most recent buffers or files visited come at | ;; the start of the list. | ;; | ;; The buffer or file at the start of the list will be the one visited | ;; when you press RETURN. By typing more of the substring, the list is | ;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer or file you want will be | ;; at the top of the list. Alternatively, you can use C-s and C-r (or | ;; the right and left arrow keys) to rotate buffer or file names in the | ;; list until the one you want is at the top of the list. | ;; | ;; Completion is also available so that you can see what is common to | ;; all of the matching buffers or files as you type. | ;; `---- > > - Carsten > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
