A few points: - with C-x C-f the default completion, between angle brackets in the original icomplete code, is not shown anymore, unless there is a single candidate (for example in a directory with "foo", "bar1", "bar2", "f" will give "f[oo]" but "b" will give "b[]"); in other words, the "[]" after the point usually serves no purpose - likewise, with M-x there is a "()" after the point that usually serves no purpose - if I type "M-x icomplete-m", I see the following: M-x icomplete-m(ode) | where "|" represents the cursor (on the next line!) - when the current line after the prompt is too long the prompt disappears - when completing a unique completion with TAB the point is moved to the next line Gregory
