Subject: Re: How to disable ido and icomplete in some path/directory?
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 22:57:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACspjXfK57YGKi8rUi1rYaW-5K9o2TVdirHqB_7Wysp-HUQk=g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

It is not a bug. It behave as

- let's say you're in a prompt like "Find file: /foo/bar/"
  where /foo/bar is a "slow" directory.
- Emacs is busy trying to get the list of completions.
- you hit "t"
- Emacs promptly stops trying to get the list of completions, and
  updates the minibuffer to: "Find file: /foo/bar/t"
- it then (re)tries to get the list of completions.

it is due to the slow net rate. So disable icomplete will solve the problem.

My question is how to diable ido and icomplete in some path/directory.


(Sorry it does not work to call gmail repsoning the help maillist in firefox).

Best Regards,

Shuguang
