That doesn't work, unfortunately - I tried it., as well as emulating the other dired stuff. I'm not sure why that doesn't work, but I managed to write a function that does:
(defun ido-shell ()
(interactive)
(let ((dirname (expand-file-name (ido-read-directory-name "Shell in directory: "))))
(shell dirname)
(comint-send-string (current-buffer) (concat "cd " dirname "\n"))))
Thanks,

Hello,
I have ido activated. If I do C-x C-f and navigate to a directory, C-d will open a dired buffer in that directory. Is there a way to open a shell buffer instead?
up with from looking at ido.el. I didn't understand how to properly implement
ido-magic-control-s, so you have to type `C-x C-f C-x C-s' (by analogy with
`C-x C-f C-x C-d', which runs ido-enter-dired):
(defun ido-enter-shell ()
"Drop into `shell' from file switching."
(interactive)
(setq ido-exit 'shell)
(exit-minibuffer))
(define-key ido-file-dir-completion-map "\C-x\C-s" 'ido-enter-shell)
