I've been able to implement the functionality I wanted using a buffer-local variable in an org-mode hook: > > (defun bl/completion-use-ido () > "Set the current buffer's completing read engine to IDO." > (setq-local completing-read-function #'ido-completing-read))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'bl/completion-use-ido) I think that works for me, but I'm open to a better suggestion if there is one. In any case, I think re-enabling the functionality that was removed with the "org-completion-use-ido" function should be documented somewhere.
