It has functions for installing any file off of emacswiki, any file on your filesystem, and any file you can get at via url. And a bunch of other stuff.Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304409.post-83734891191042511302007-07-07T19:14:00.000-07:002007-07-07T19:14:00.000-07:00Anonymous, if you're looking for matched lines in ...Anonymous, if you're looking for matched lines in a buffer, try <A HREF="http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/hidesearch.el" REL="nofollow">hidesearch</A>.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304409.post-81213991410485988502007-07-07T19:05:00.000-07:002007-07-07T19:05:00.000-07:00how do I use ido in a text buffer, I just want to ...how do I use ido in a text buffer, I just want to see completions in another buffer as I type.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304409.post-81365321274155049662007-04-24T19:43:00.000-07:002007-04-24T19:43:00.000-07:00If you use iswitchb, check out isearchb too.

I think the interface is a lot simpler and more intuitive than ido. Unfortunately, I accidentally erased the 9 or so required files for icicles and haven't bothered to re-install them.
