I posted the original question. What I really want is to type as little as possible. The lightning completion code I mentioned is great because it completes automatically (you don't have to hit TAB) and because you can use it for all minibuffer prompts. I have looked at icomplete, partial-completion-mode, and ido. Of the three, ido is the best for me. It's completion is similar to but much more powerful than lightning completion's. The only missing piece is (an option) to make it active for all minibuffer prompts. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
