Have you tried Helm in Emacs? For me it binds to M-x, and I can find a "lost" command by typing just bits.
For example "M-x tree undo" show me "undo-tree-visualize (C-x u)".
Now I use Helm all over the place: (recent) file opening (within the current project), buffer switching, grepping, etc. It really changed how I interface Emacs.
- csdrane 12y agoWhat's the advantage of Helm to Ido?

- ludwigvan 12y agoHelm by default ands the query terms. Notice how he typed the second word first. Ido searches linearly. Helm is also much more ambitious in general
