My problem: I have Ido-mode enabled and I want to edit (for example) a file .emacs in my home directory. I have no .emacs file there, but I do have a .emacs.d, and so ido assumes that I want to enter the directory when I do C-x C-f .emacs RET. I've been trying to solve this for at least weeks, and I've got a couple work-arounds but I wo...
I'm a big fan of ido-mode, so much so that I would like to use it for things like describe-function or find-tag and so on, without having to write something like in "Can I get ido-mode-style completion for searching tags in Emacs?" for each one. Both (defalias completing-read ido-completing-read) and (setf 'completing-read 'ido-comp...
I strictly use vim, but I was playing with emacs and really like ido-mode when opening files. just start typing part of a filename and it narrows down the search and just press enter when the file you want is at the front of the list. is there anything similar for vim? i've been searching with no luck. thanks ...
I am running GNU Emacs 23 on a Windows-machine and having problems getting ido-find-file to match files that contain whitespaces. In my .emacs I (setq ido-use-filename-at-point t) and would like to match a string like "D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Username\Eigene Dateien\Scratch\ipswitch.bat" when hitting C-x C-f. When point is locat...
What am I missing if I don't use ido mode? Is my life incomplete until I take the ido plunge? ...
I am switching to Emacs from TextMate. One feature of TextMate that I would really like to have in Emacs is the "Find in Project" search box that uses fuzzy matching. Emacs sort of has this with ido, but ido does not search recursively through child directories. It searches only within one directory. Is there a way to give ido a root...
In Emacs using ido-mode allows me to open a file from the minibuffer with C-x C-f. This method opens only one file at a time. How do I open all the files in a directory or specify more than one file to open? ...
I am looking for something like Textmate's fuzzy search on Command-T, FuzzyFinder in Vim, or Ido in Emacs. Does it exist? If no, how do you prefer to do it? ...
In emacs, I'd like to open the same buffer in multiple frames. Before I used ido, this was easy: I'd just switch to the buffer in one frame with C-x b, then focus a different frame in my window manager, and then open the buffer in that other frame too (with C-x b again.) But, now that I use ido for fuzzy completion in C-x b, when I try t...
When using eshell or ansi-term and bash emacs changes the default-directory variable depending on what directory you are in. So if I move to /home/user/code/project and then use ido-find-file to open a file it starts ido with the CWD. If I use ksh (my normal shell) or zsh (tried for testing) it doesnt work. Is there a setting or is this...
I'm using Emacs on windows. My default folder is c:/home, but I want to edit my file in d:/ how to do it in ido mode ? I tried // but that put me in c:/. Currently, I use C-f (change back to normal find file mode), but that defeat the purpose of using ido mode in first place.... ...
