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?
Thanks,
Nathaniel Flath

Depends on the shell you want to use. For regular shell you could use
something like this:
(defun nf/openshell (&optional dir)
(interactive "DDirectory to open shell into: ")
(shell)
(if dir
(comint-send-string
(current-buffer)
(concat "cd " (shell-quote-wildcard-pattern dir) "
"))))
in any case, it doesn't seem to be possible to open a shell directly
in any arbitrary directory other than default-directory. You always
have to send a "cd something" to move to where you want to be (though
I'd be glad to find out I'm wrong). In any case, that's the same I do
in SrC (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Sunrise_Commander) and works
quite well for me.
Cheers,

It's not ido, but it should do it:
(defun My-Shell-where-I-want-it ()
(interactive)
(dired "My-precious-directory")
(shell))
Maybe adapt that for ido, if necessary.

I don't use ido, so I don't even know how to test this. But here's what I came
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)

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,
