Again: "Which part of "ido-like" would you like to see there?". IDO completion has many differences compared to Emacs's historical prefix-completion. But Emacs's current default completion code supports several of those features. E.g. in Emacs-24, C-x b provides substring completion (and if you enable icomplete-mode which just shows you the list of completion candidates at the end of the minibuffer, it gets even closer to iswitchb). > - (completing-read prompt > + (ido-completing-read prompt That is not an option: we want the completion behavior to be consistent, and there's nothing magical about bookmarks which justifies a thoroughly different behavior, I think. OTOH, maybe bookmarks have particular properties which justify tweaking the completion behavior for them, just like it is the case for C-x b. E.g. we could make C-x r b use substring completion. > Have bookmark use completing-read-function. It does, since it calls completing-read which in turn calls the completing-read-function. Stefan
