Hi, all. I find that using IDO with fuzzy matching turned on is making org-refile unusable. The problem is that emacs will lock up for up to 45 seconds for each character I type, as ido searches through 3 levels of headings in all my archive files. I like having ido turned on for this, as it allows me to type a word that is unique to a 3rd-level heading, and jump right to that without having to find it hierarchically. But I can live without flex matching for this purpose.
There is no hook run at the beginning of org-refile, so I have tried using defadvice to turn off flex matching. For some reason, it isn't working for me: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defadvice org-refile-pseudo-hook (before org-refile) "do some customizations prior to running org-refile" (setq ido-enable-flex-matching nil)) (ad-activate 'org-refile-pseudo-hook) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I've tried doing the above as "around" advice as well as "before" advice. In either case, flex matching is still turned on when I invoke org-refile. I suppose an alternative would be to add a hook variable to be run near the beginning of org-refile. But I would still love to be enlightened about the correct use of defadvice! FWIW, here are what I think are my relevant variable settings (the verify function could be suspected of slowing things down, but selection is very fast with ido flex matching off): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (ido-everywhere 1) (setq ido-enable-flex-matching t) (setq org-goto-interface 'outline-path-completion) (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil) (setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 3)) org-refile-use-outline-path 'file org-refile-target-verify-function (lambda () (not (member "ARCHIVE" (org-get-tags))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
