Hi Stephen,
I think this is actually a bug. Since the command is called ...-
iswitchb,
I am sure the intention was to use iswitchbe. Later, when we added ido
support as well, the function was rewritten using
org-icompleting-read, and in this way the iswitchb support was lost.
How about the following solution:
Check if either of org-completion-use-\(ido\|iswitchb\) is set. If not,
bind org-completion-use-iswitchb around the call to org-icompleting-
read.

Dear all,
As the author of iswitchb, I was very happy to see M-x org-iswitchb
included. Further, it is recommended as a default keybinding in the
manual:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3 Activation
==============
...
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So I was surprised when trying org-iswitchb that I didn't see the
iswitchb feedback when typing buffer names. I eventually found that I
needed to set either of the following variables to t so that this
would
work:
org-completion-use-iswitchb, org-completion-use-ido
These variables are not mentioned in the docstrings of either
org-iswitchb or org-icompleting-read. Here is a suggested patch to
the
docstring for org-iswitchb.
Thanks for all the good work, as ever!
Stephen
