This is off-topic in a discussion of silver bullets, but what advantages do you see in ido-style completion over icomplete? They feel very similar to me and icomplete is built-in, so I went with that.
- rcthompson 7y agoI feel like ido is just a more fully-explored version of the same concept. For example, if you use C-. and C-, to rotate the list in icomplete, that rotation is not preserved if you then continue typing, whereas in ido it is preserved, so that continuing to type characters that match the currently-selected completion isn't going to switch you to another matching completion.
