mcomplete.el (http://homepage1.nifty.com/bmonkey/emacs/elisp/mcomplete.el) has a nice ASCII drawing of how it integrates with the minibuffer. Maybe we can use this same method with ido. I'll take a look at this one day soon. Here's the drawing; ;;; How this package works: ;; On loading this package, ;; `mcomplete-minibuffer-setup' is registered in `minibuffer-setup-hook'. ;; ;; ;; Some command tries to begin a minibuffer session ;; | ;; v ;; (run-hooks 'minibuffer-setup-hook) -+ ;; | | ;; | v ;; | `mcomplete-minibuffer-setup' ;; | (when (mcomplete-p) ;; | (run-hooks 'mcomplete-minibuffer-setup-hook)) ;; | | ;; | v ;; | `mcomplete-setup-command-hooks' ;; | * registers `mcomplete-pre-command-hook' in ;; | the buffer local `pre-command-hook'. ;; | * registers `mcomplete-post-command-hook' in ;; | the buffer local `post-command-hook'. ;; v ;; The minibuffer session begins ;; | ;; v ;; Some key is pressed in the minibuffer ;; | ;; v ;; (run-hooks 'pre-command-hook) -+ ;; | | ;; | v ;; | (run-hooks 'mcomplete-pre-command-hook) ;; | | ;; | v ;; | `mcomplete-pre-command-tidy' ;; | * clears information display in the minibuffer. ;; v ;; The command for the key is executed ;; | ;; v ;; (run-hooks 'post-command-hook) -+ ;; | ;; v ;; (run-hooks 'mcomplete-post-command-hook) ;; | ;; v ;; `mcomplete-post-command-exhibit' ;; * displays information in the minibuffer. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
