Since the command is called ...- iswitchb, I am sure the intention was to use iswitchbe. Later, when we added ido support as well, the function was rewritten using org-icompleting-read, and in this way the iswitchb support was lost. How about the following solution: Check if either of org-completion-use-\(ido\|iswitchb\) is set. If not, bind org-completion-use-iswitchb around the call to org-icompleting- read. - Carsten On Jun 28, 2010, at 12:19 PM, Stephen Eglen wrote: > Dear all, > > As the author of iswitchb, I was very happy to see M-x org-iswitchb > included.
