Re: [Orgmode] ido's flex matching in org-refile

Hi,

I have applied Erics patch, with two changes:

1. There is an additonal option you need to set:
    `org-completion-use-ido'.

2. For a test period, each prompt using ido completion will be prefixed with "i:", so that we can easily identify areas where using ido's completion may not work well for Org.

I'd appreciate if some of your could turn this on and test it extensively.

Thanks in advance for testing, and thanks to Samuel and Eric for the implementation.

- Carsten

Hi Sam,

if you get this to wrok correctly with outline-path-completion,
that would make me consider to put in some time to make Org more
ido compatible.

Hi,

I tried changing completing-reads in org-mode so that they will use
ido-mode speedups when ido-mode is available and has been set by the
user's global configuration.

There is one difference between ido-completing-read and completing- read, namely the second argument must be a list in ido-completing-read, rather
than the more general options in regular completing-read so this
limitation is also considered when deciding which completing read
function to use.  All completing reads are now handled through the
following simple function.

(defun org-ido-completing-read (&rest args)
 "Completing-read using `ido-mode' speedups if available"
 (if (and ido-mode (listp (second args)))
     (apply 'ido-completing-read args)
   (apply 'completing-read args)))

This does mean that for some of the fancier org-mode completing reads
(like in `org-refile') ido-completing-read will not be used.

Since the changes span many files, I posted them up here as a whole
repository rather than just attaching patches.

http://github.com/eschulte/org-mode/tree/master

I haven't tested this exhaustively, but it works in every case I've
tried, and when used the ido-mode speedups are very nice.

Cheers -- Eric

For those who don't know, flex matching in ido is really
something else.  Just a few characters uniquely specify a
target.

For those who want to experiment with ido's flex matching
for org-refile, here is how I did it.

1.  In org.el's org-refile-get-location, substitute
    ido-completing-read for completing-read.

2.  M-C-x.

3.  Settings.

;;these enable ido for other stuff
(ido-mode 1)
(ido-everywhere 1)

(setf ido-confirm-unique-completion t)
(setf ido-enable-flex-matching t)

;;season to taste.  for me, this is fast.
(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2))))
;;i didn't get it to work with this as t, but it probably is
;;pretty easy.  this is the next thing that should be done.
(setf org-refile-use-outline-path nil)

4.  Get into an org file.

5.  Call org-refile.

By the way, this should also work for headline jumping and
any other part of org that uses completing-read.  See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractivelyDoThings for
background.

Anybody who wants to take this over is welcome.
