Indeed, the prompting should normally take place in the `interactive' spec, but the above is sadly pretty common. >> Assuming `foo' can't be changed - is there another way to bind `bar' >> before calling `foo' in a program rather than advising `foo' (with the >> aim to suppress any user-prompting at all during the execution of >> `foo')? Not really, no. And advising `foo' only won't help: you also need to advise org-icompleting-read. > cl-flet org-icompleting-read to 'ignore? Nope. That worked with `flet', but `cl-flet' is actually providing Common-Lisp's `flet' which defines a lexically-scoped function. Better use an advice here. Stefan
