Subject: Replacing ido with iswitchb results in not being able to get to "/c/" in Emacs
Date: Sun, 4 May 2014 18:27:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B8D164BED956C5439875951895CB4B2226620E76@CAFRFD1MSGUSRIA.ITServices.sbc.com> (raw)
I was using the released version of Emacs in Cygwin 1.7.29, and I moved to the "test" version of "24.3.90.1" to test some fatal error problems.
I noticed that it complained that "iswitchb" is obsolete, so I switched to "ido", which is apparently recommended to replace it.
When I started using it, I immediately noticed a blocking problem with it. I map "/cygdrive" to "/c" in /etc/fstab. In Emacs, with ido, when I type "/c/", it gives me the following completion choices: "{etc/ | proc/ | cygdrive/}". I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. If I just continue typing the path I need, it replaces "/c/" with "/etc/", which isn't what I want. It doesn't appear that I can get to "/c/" with ido.
