;;; Acknowledgements

;; Infinite amounts of gratitude goes to Stephen Eglen <stephen@cns.ed.ac.uk>
;; who wrote iswitch-buffer mode - from which I ripped off 99% of the code
;; for ido-switch-buffer and found the inspiration for ido-find-file.
;; The ido package would never have existed without his work.

;; Also thanks to Klaus Berndl, Rohit Namjoshi, Robert Fenk, Alex Schroeder,
;; Bill Benedetto, and Stephen Eglen for bug fixes and improvements.

;;; 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 21.4 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:

;; Ido - interactive do - switches between buffers and opens files and
;; directories with a minimum of keystrokes.  It is a superset of
;; iswitchb, the interactive buffer switching package by Stephen Eglen.

;; Interactive substring matching
;; ------------------------------
;;
;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers or files currently
;; matching the substring are displayed as you type.  The list is
;; ordered so that the most recent buffers or files visited come at
;; the start of the list.
;;
;; The buffer or file at the start of the list will be the one visited
;; when you press RETURN.  By typing more of the substring, the list is
;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer or file you want will be
;; at the top of the list.  Alternatively, you can use C-s and C-r (or
;; the right and left arrow keys) to rotate buffer or file names in the
;; list until the one you want is at the top of the list.
;;
;; Completion is also available so that you can see what is common to
;; all of the matching buffers or files as you type.
;;
;; Example:
;;
;; If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
;; most recent, when I use ido-switch-buffer, I first of all get
;; presented with the list of all the buffers
;;
;;       Buffer:  {123456,123}
;;
;; If I then press 2:
;;       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
;; list by default).  At any time I can select the item at the head of
;; the list by pressing RET.  I can also bring the put the first
;; element at the end of the list by pressing C-s or [right], or put
;; the last element at the head of the list by pressing C-r or [left].
;;
;; The item in [...] indicates what can be added to my input by
;; pressing TAB.  In this case, I will get "3" added to my input.

;; So, I press TAB:
;;       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
;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
;; 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]
;;
;; 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 however, I now 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".
;;
;; Of course, where this function comes in really useful is when you
;; can specify the buffer using only a few keystrokes.  In the above
;; example, the quickest way to get to the "123456" file would be
;; just to type 4 and then RET (assuming there isn't any newer buffer
;; with 4 in its name).

;; Likewise, if you use C-x C-f (ido-find-file), the list of files and
;; directories in the current directory is provided in the same
;; fashion as the buffers above.  The files and directories are
;; normally sorted in alphabetical order, but the most recently
;; visited directory is placed first to speed up navigating to
;; directories that you have visited recently.
;;
;; In addition to scrolling through the list using [right] and [left],
;; you can use [up] and [down] to quickly scroll the list to the next
;; or previous subdirectory.
;;
;; To go down into a subdirectory, and continue the file selection on
;; the files in that directory, simply move the directory to the head
;; of the list and hit RET.
;;
;; To go up to the parent directory, delete any partial file name
;; already specified (e.g. using [backspace]) and hit [backspace].
;;
;; To go to the root directory (on the current drive), enter two
;; slashes.  On MS-DOS or Windows, to select the root of another
;; drive, enter X:/ where X is the drive letter.  You can also visit
;; files on other hosts using the ange-ftp notations `/host:' and
;; `/user@host:'.  See the variable `ido-slow-ftp-hosts' if you want
;; to inhibit the ido substring matching for ftp access.
;;
;; If for some reason you cannot specify the proper file using
;; ido-find-file, you can press C-f to enter the normal find-file.
;; You can also press C-b to drop into ido-switch-buffer.

;; See the doc string of ido-switch-buffer and ido-find-file for full
;; keybindings and features.
;;  (describe-function 'ido-find-file)

;; Hidden buffers and files
;; ------------------------
;;
;; Normally, ido does not include hidden buffers (whose name starts
;; with a space) and hidden files and directories (whose name starts
;; with `.') in the list of possible completions.  However, if the
;; substring you enter does not match any of the visible buffers or
;; files, ido will automatically look for completions among the hidden
;; buffers or files.
;;
;; You can toggle display of the hidden buffers and files with C-a.

;; Additional functionality
;; ------------------------
;;
;; After C-x b, the buffer at the head of the list can be killed by
;; pressing C-k.  If the buffer needs saving, you will be queried
;; before the buffer is killed.
;;
;; Likewise, after C-x C-f, you can delete (i.e. physically remove)
;; the file at the head of the list with C-k.  You will always be
;; asked for confirmation before the file is deleted.
;;
;; If you enter C-x b to switch to a buffer visiting a given file, and
;; you find that the file you are after is not in any buffer, you can
;; press C-f to immediately drop into ido-find-file.  And you can
;; switch back to buffer selection with C-b.

;; Prefix matching
;; ---------------
;;
;; The standard way of completion with Unix-shells and Emacs is to insert a
;; PREFIX and then hitting TAB (or another completion key). Cause of this
;; behavior has become second nature to a lot of emacs users `ido' offers in
;; addition to the default substring-matching-method (look above) also the
;; prefix-matching-method. The kind of matching is the only difference to
;; the description of the substring-matching above.
;;
;; You can toggle prefix matching with C-p.
;;
;; Example:
;;
;; If you have again two Buffers "123456" and "123" then hitting "2" does
;; not match because "2" is not a PREFIX in any of the buffer-names. This
;; is the only difference between the substring and prefix matching.

;; Flexible matching
;; -----------------
;;
;; If you set ido-enable-flex-matching, ido will do a more flexible
;; matching (unless regexp matching is active) to find possible matches
;; among the available buffer or file names if no matches are found using
;; the normal prefix or substring matching.
;;
;; The flexible matching implies that any item which simply contains all
;; of the entered characters in the specified sequence will match.
;;
;; Example:
;;
;; If you have four files "alpha", "beta", "gamma", and "delta",
;; entering "aa" will match "alpha" and "gamma", while "ea" matches
;; "beta" and "delta".  If prefix matching is also active, "aa" only
;; matches "alpha", while "ea" does not match any files.

;; Regexp matching
;; ---------------
;;
;; There is limited provision for regexp matching within ido,
;; enabled through `ido-enable-regexp' (toggle with C-t).
;; This allows you to type `c$' for example and see all file names
;; ending in `c'.  This facility is quite limited though in two
;; respects.  First, you can't currently type in expressions like
;; `[0-9]' directly -- you have to type them in when ido-enable-regexp
;; is nil and then toggle on the regexp functionality.  Likewise,
;; don't enter an expression containing `\' in regexp mode.  If you
;; try, ido gets confused, so just hit C-g and try again.  Secondly,
;; no completion mechanism is currently offered with regexp searching.


;; Customization
;; -------------
;;
;; Customize the `ido' group to change the `ido' functionality.
;;
;; To modify the keybindings, use the hook provided.  For example:
;;(add-hook 'ido-define-mode-map-hook 'ido-my-keys)
;;
;;(defun ido-my-keys ()
;;  "Add my keybindings for ido."
;;  (define-key ido-mode-map " " 'ido-next-match)
;;  )

;; Seeing all the matching buffers or files
;; ----------------------------------------
;;
;; If you have many matching files, they may not all fit onto one
;; line of the minibuffer.  Normally, the minibuffer window will grow
;; to show you more of the matching files (depending on the setting
;; of the variables `resize-mini-windows' and `max-mini-window-height').
;; If you want ido to behave differently from the default minibuffer
;; resizing behaviour, set the variable `ido-max-window-height'.
;;
;; Also, to improve the responsiveness of ido, the maximum number of
;; matching items is limited to 12, but you can increase or removed
;; this limit via the `ido-max-prospects' variable.

;; To see a full list of all matching buffers in a separate buffer,
;; hit ? or press TAB when there are no further completions to the
;; substring.  Repeated TAB presses will scroll you through this
;; separate buffer.

;; Changing the list of files
;; --------------------------

;; By default, the list of current files is most recent first,
;; oldest last, with the exception that the files visible in the
;; current frame are put at the end of the list.  A hook exists to
;; allow other functions to order the list.  For example, if you add:
;;
;; (add-hook 'ido-make-buffer-list-hook 'ido-summary-buffers-to-end)
;;
;; then all files matching "Summary" are moved to the end of the
;; list.  (I find this handy for keeping the INBOX Summary and so on
;; out of the way.)  It also moves files matching "output\*$" to the
;; end of the list (these are created by AUC TeX when compiling.)
;; Other functions could be made available which alter the list of
;; matching files (either deleting or rearranging elements.)

;; Highlighting
;; ------------

;; The highlighting of matching items is controlled via ido-use-faces.
;; The faces used are ido-first-match-face, ido-only-match-face and
;; ido-subdir-face.
;; Colouring of the matching item was suggested by
;; Carsten Dominik (dominik@strw.leidenuniv.nl).

;; Replacement for read-buffer and read-file-name
;; ----------------------------------------------

;; ido-read-buffer and ido-read-file-name have been written to be drop
;; in replacements for the normal buffer and file name reading
;; functions `read-buffer' and `read-file-name'.

;; To use ido for all buffer and file selections in Emacs, customize the
;; variable `ido-everywhere'.

;; Using ido-like behaviour in other lisp packages
;; -----------------------------------------------

;; If you don't want to rely on the `ido-everywhere' functionality,
;; ido-read-buffer, ido-read-file-name, and ido-read-directory-name
;; can be used by other packages to read a buffer name, a file name,
;; or a directory name in the `ido' way.

;;                   a command may set ido-exit and call (exit-minibuffer)
;;                   to make ido-read-internal do advanced tasks (or return)
;;
;;               ... ido-tidy and ido-exhibit are pre- and post-hooks
;;                   which are run before and after each user command.
;;
;;             return value from completing-read is stored in ido-final-text
