the built-in ido completion is likely mostly redundant and that is i
think mostly why it was removed. [ooh, disclaimers.]
to get your ido back, you can install ido-hacks, which will
1] make ido work in all sorts of places including refile
2] speed up ido by an enormous amount
you might need to make sure you have the right version.
there is also something like ido-everywhere, but idk if it has the
speeding up feature or whether it does ido in the same places.
alternatively, you can try helm [old, huge, different usage] or ivy
[new, fast]. icicles is not as popular.
i think both helm and ivy have c-spc ability or the equivalent.
ivy is the most like ido of the popular non-ido.
===
i use ido with ido-hacks and ido-clever-match. the last one sorts
choices beautifully. i get annoyed with different sort orders.
i might switch to ivy in the future if it can provide the same sort
order as ido-clever-match. it provides options, but not that one.
it has been said that flx is a nice sorting option and that ivy can
provide it, but it was too slow last time i tried it. idk if ivy
speeds flx up. idk if it is close enough to ido-clever-match for me.
