Icomplete mode is supposed to be as featureful as IswitchB. If you find that this is not the case, please consider filing a bug report or enhancement request. Use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to do either. > Icicles appears to be closer to what I need. I'll have to use it a > bit more so my fingers remember whether this gives me what iswitchb > gave me before. Also: You can still find IswitchB here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/= *checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/iswitchb.el The fact that it is no longer distributed with Emacs does not mean that you can't still use it.
