|
|
+If you want to use ido for yes-or-no questions, even though it's be
|
|
|
+massive overkill, install the ido-yes-or-no package (soon to be
|
|
|
+available from MELPA):

|
|

|
|
|
+## ido for `describe-face` and certain other commands
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Some commands, such as `describe-face`, use `completing-read-multiple`
|
|
|
+instead of `completing-read`. You can get ido completion for these
|
|
|
+commands with `crm-custom-mode`, which replaces
|
|
|
+`completing-read-multiple` with repeated calls to `completing-read`,
|
|
|
+which would then use ido thanks to ido-ubiquitous-mode. First, install
|
|
|
+the [crm-custom](https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/crm-custom)
|
|
|
+package from MELPA: http://melpa.org/#/crm-custom
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Then enable the mode:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ (crm-custom-mode 1)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Rememebr that when using this mode, completion for affected commands
|
|
|
+will continue to read additional items until you use C-j to enter an
|
|
|
+empty input, which terminates the completion. (Due to this quirk, I do
|
|
|
+not find this mode to be very useful in conjunction with ido, but it
|
|
|
+does work.)
