If want to use the current input instead of the current candidate while ivy is active, you can use `ivy-immediate-done', bound to C-M-j by default.

bbdb prevents mu4e from sending a message
Hello, I'm trying to use both gnus and mu4e, and I'm having an issue when sending a message from mu4e: I get the following error: bbdb-mua: BBDB: MUA `mu4e-compose-mode' not supported I'm using a recent version of BBDB (the Melpa version from November of this year), and my BBDB setup looks like this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message) (bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message) #+end_src I tried adding the 'mu4e symbol to both lines and it's not changing anything. I don't necessarily want BBDB to work with mu4e: I want to be able to send messages with mu4e while still using BBDB with gnus. Is this possible? I asked this question on the mu4e mailing list, and it seems that the problems comes from the hook bbdb adds to message mode, which is run in mu4e-compose-mode as it extends message mode.

BBDB and icicles
Hello, I'm trying to use bbdb with icicles, and I'm having some trouble to make it work. I'm discussing with the author, but in the meantime I have a couple questions. First, is anyone able to use bbdb (current version from melpa, which is Version: 20140123.1541 according to the package list) with icicles? Did you do anything special to make it work? Second, it seems that icicles relies on `bbdb-version' to choose whether to extend bbdb-complete-name or bbdb-complete-mail. However, on my system, bbdb-version returns: BBDB version @PACKAGE_VERSION@ (@PACKAGE_DATE@) which is not helpful at all. Is it a problem from melpa?

I have to admit I've been spoiled by how easy it is to install packages using Melpa. I assume you're not the person who put bbdb on Melpa, and that I should file a bug there. Is this correct? If you wait a few more days, BBDB 3.1 will be released. Then it will be easier to properly install BBDB then right now when you need a rather recent installation of autotools for this. Great.

They do not want to get involved in anything beyond that (say, Melpa does not provide either the TeX files for printing BBDB). I understand, but I'll give it a try anyway.

If I hit tab again I get the following message #window ... is not a live window where ... is a number, and the window is closed. The only time I can complete an address is when there is a single match. What is tab bound to for you? tab is bound to message-tab. M-tab is bound to bbdb-complete-mail. I tried using both tab and M-tab and get the same results. By default bbdb-complete-mail gets bound to M-tab. Can you send a backtrace of when things go wrong (plus a description of what you did to get it)? Things don't really go wrong anymore (I don't have an error when upgrading to the head of the git repository). Unfortunately it does not work as I would like it to. Here is an example: I have two different people in bbdb whose first name is Martin. In the To field of a mail (this one, for instance), I type mart then M-tab. I see a *Completions* buffer open, telling me the two possible completions. If I type M-tab again, nothing happens. I see a quick message in the mini-buffer telling me it's doing the completion list, so I suspect it's recreating the buffer instead of cycling through the different completions as I would like it to. I'm a bit of an emacs novice, so I'd need more information about how to provide a backtrace. I have (setq bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling t) in my configuration. That should not be relevant here. I thought it would. The documentation says If non-nil cycle mail addresses when calling `bbdb-complete-mail'. which is exactly what I want: cycle through the possible completions when completing mails.

What are you trying to do / expecting to get when BBDB opens a window with possible completions?
