Yep, I know the theory. :) I only wanted an example which is closer to the typical use of emacs, that's why I mentioned files and buffers. Anyway, it's not hard to do, so I'll implement it when I have the time. Probably using buffers as an example even if it's not very useful. > Of course, I could always define two sources, one for chat and one for > e-mail... Anyway, maybe that can give you an idea. BTW, I am trying > out `anything' as a replacement for iswitchb right now :) I'm an iswitchb fan myself and I actually prefer the iswitchb interface for switching buffers, since buffer switching is very frequent and iswitchb is not so disruptive (doesn't pop up a window). I plan to implement an anything-iswitchb integration. Iswitchb will work as usual, but if you're idle for a while then the iswitchb input will be used as anything input and a buffer will popup with the completions anything can offer. Like with timid completion. _______________________________________________ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources
