First: ------- I use ido with following settings. ;;in the .emacs (require 'ido) (ido-mode t) (setq ido-enable-flex-matching t) ;; enable fuzzy matching The above works great for most of the scenarios except when I try to navigate to a UNC share. Ido does not allow me to navigate to a network share. Whenever I try //, it puts me on the root directory of the drive. For eg. if I am in C:\foo\bar directory and I type //, it puts me in C:/. How do I navigate to an UNC share or find a file / visit a file from an UNC share? Second: ----------- If I am editing a file in emacs and the same file was modified by an external program, is there a way emacs can alert me that the file is modified outside of emacs and give me an option to reload (if I want to)? Thanks in advance for your help
