29;; Loading this package implements a more fine-grained minibuffer
30;; completion feedback scheme. Prospective completions are concisely
31;; indicated within the minibuffer itself, with each successive
32;; keystroke.
33
5e537651 34;; See `icomplete-completions' docstring for a description of the
b578f267
EN
35;; icomplete display format.
36
37;; See the `icomplete-minibuffer-setup-hook' docstring for a means to
38;; customize icomplete setup for interoperation with other
39;; minibuffer-oriented packages.

41;; To activate icomplete mode, load the package and use the
42;; `icomplete-mode' function. You can subsequently deactivate it by
43;; invoking the function icomplete-mode with a negative prefix-arg
44;; (C-U -1 ESC-x icomplete-mode). Also, you can prevent activation of
45;; the mode during package load by first setting the variable
46;; `icomplete-mode' to nil. Icompletion can be enabled any time after
47;; the package is loaded by invoking icomplete-mode without a prefix
48;; arg.

50;; Thanks to everyone for their suggestions for refinements of this
51;; package. I particularly have to credit Michael Cook, who
52;; implemented an incremental completion style in his 'iswitch'
53;; functions that served as a model for icomplete. Some other
5e537651 54;; contributors: Noah Friedman (restructuring as minor mode), Colin
1be5a284 55;; Rafferty (lemacs reconciliation), Lars Lindberg, RMS, and others.
