thanks Drew... I skimmed the documentation which seems to focus on the
completion power of icicle more than the buffer management.
That's because buffer management is but a tiny consequence of Icicles
general behavior. Icicles does the same thing for any object (file, command,
variable...) as it does for buffers.
how would i use your library as a drop in replacement
for my C-x left/right bindings?
Better to continue off-list if you have more questions, as the details are
probably not interesting to others. Anyway, this should get you started:
Just use your standard buffer-switching command - for example,
`switch-to-buffer' (on `C-x b'). Then use the up/down arrows (or
`C-p'/`C-n') to cycle among buffer-names and choose one (RET). This doesn't
let you use `C-x left' and `C-x right' - you use up/down instead (fewer
keystrokes).
Even better: use command `icicle-buffer'. Make these bindings, for example.
(define-key ctl-x-map "b" 'icicle-buffer) ; `C-x b'
(define-key ctl-x-4-map "b" 'icicle-buffer-other-window) ; `C-x 4 b'
Now do as in #1, or you can use `C-up'/`C-down' to cycle among buffers,
switching to them at the same time (no need to hit `RET'). With `C-x b' the
switched-to buffer replaces the current buffer in its window. With `C-x 4 b'
the switched-to buffer is opened in another window.
also, i'm not so keen on the C-h remapping... i unset that standard
"helpful" binding as delete sends C-h in a compliant xterm.
`C-h' is only rebound for the minibuffer - Icicles changes no global
bindings. From what you said, you've apparently already figured out how to
unset the `C-h' bindings (and bind `icicle-help-on-candidate' to another
minibuffer key sequence).
