It seems to work well so far, but there is one thing that does not work as expected (or, at least, as I expect it to work): for some reason when you complete a filename (find-file), the first candidate './' has been taken out of the candidate list (with both icomplete-format 'vertical and 'horizontal), which means that I see ("[]" is the point): Find file: ~/[]/ | { } or: Find file: ~/[]./ I do not understand why this is the case. Likewise, when there are multiple candidates, icomplete-vertical behaves in a counterintuitive way with find-file, for example I see (with two candidate directories "foofoo and "foobar"): Find file: ~/foo[]foofoo foobar
