-;;; History
-
-;; Since I discovered Stephen Eglen's excellent iswitchb package, I just
-;; couldn't live without it, but once being addicted to switching buffers
-;; with a minimum of keystrokes, I soon found that opening files in the
-;; old-fashioned way was just too slow - so I decided to write a package
-;; which could open files with the same speed and ease as iswitchb could
-;; switch buffers.
-
-;; I originally wrote a separate ifindf.el package based on a copy of
-;; iswitchb.el, which did for opening files what iswitchb did for
-;; switching buffers. Along the way, I corrected a few errors in
-;; ifindf which could have found its way back into iswitchb, but since
-;; most of the functionality of the two package was practically
-;; identical, I decided that the proper thing to do was to merge my
-;; ifindf package back into iswitchb.
-;;
-;; This is basically what ido (interactively do) is all about; but I
-;; found it ackward to merge my changes into the "iswitchb-" namespace,
-;; so I invented a common "ido-" namespace for the merged packages.
-;;
-;; This version is based on ido.el version 1.57 released on
-;; gnu.emacs.sources adapted for emacs 22.1 to use command remapping
-;; and optionally hooking the read-buffer and read-file-name functions.
-;;
-;; Prefix matching was added by Klaus Berndl <klaus.berndl@sdm.de> based on
-;; an idea of Yuji Minejima <ggb01164@nifty.ne.jp> and his mcomplete-package.

;;; Commentary:
;; most recent, when I use ido-switch-buffer, I first of all get
;; presented with the list of all the buffers
;;
-;; Buffer: {123456,123}
+;; Buffer: {123456 | 123}
;;
;; If I then press 2:
-;; Buffer: 2[3]{123456,123}
+;; Buffer: 2[3]{123456 | 123}
;;
;; The list in {...} are the matching buffers, most recent first
;; (buffers visible in the current frame are put at the end of the
;; pressing TAB. In this case, I will get "3" added to my input.
;; So, I press TAB:
-;; Buffer: 23{123456,123}
+;; Buffer: 23{123456 | 123}
;;
;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
;; If I want the first buffer in the list, I simply press RET. If I
;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
;;
;; However, if I type 4, I only have one match left:
-;; Buffer: 234[123456] [Matched]
+;; Buffer: 234[123456]
+;;
+;; Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and
+;; it is shown in the `ido-only-match' face (ForestGreen). I can now
+;; press TAB or RET to go to that buffer.
;;
-;; Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
-;; see the text [Matched] afterwards. I can now press TAB or RET to go
-;; to that buffer.
+;; If I want to create a new buffer named "234", I press C-j instead of
+;; TAB or RET.
;;
-;; If however, I now type "a":
+;; If instead, I type "a":
;; Buffer: 234a [No match]
;; There are no matching buffers. If I press RET or TAB, I can be
;; prompted to create a new buffer called "234a".
;; can be used by other packages to read a buffer name, a file name,
;; or a directory name in the `ido' way.
