Subject: ido, Ibuffer, and dropping into Dired
Date: Sat, 14 May 2005 21:29:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871x894neg.fsf@wigwam.deepwood.net> (raw)
Not really sure whether this is a bug or a strange feature, but here's
how to reproduce it:
1. Enable `ido-mode' and `ido-everywhere' via customize.
2. Type C-x C-f and verify that C-d drops you into dired.
3. Enter Ibuffer using M-x ibuffer RET.
4. Type C-x C-f and note how C-d is now bound to 'ignore.
I don't see any reason why it should not be possible to drop into
Dired just because C-x C-f was typed in the *Ibuffer* buffer.
This is a sketchy outline of what's going on: In the *Ibuffer*
buffer, C-x C-f is bound to `ibuffer-find-file', which sets
`default-directory' and then calls `read-file-name', which in turn
calls `ido-read-file-name'.
>From there, I can't follow the code any longer. However, I believe
that at some point, `ido-context-switch-command' is set, which causes
this line in ido.el
(define-key map "\C-d" (or (and ido-context-switch-command 'ignore) 'ido-enter-dired))
to bind C-d to 'ignore. That line certainly looks like it knows what
it's doing, but I still think this is a bug. I've been annoyed by the
current behavior several times.
