I read "Icicles in a nutshell" at the EmacsWiki and I have to say that Icicles seem to be "sufficiently advanced" in the sense of Clarke's law. I am a bit afraid of leaving Ido (which means changing my habits a bit), but since I am not /very/ satisfied with Ido, I'm pretty much sure I'm going to switch soon anyway. There is one feature of Ido, however, which is very important for me. Is this possible in Icicles? (I should probably ask "how do I do it in Icicles?", though...) I mean persistent history of visited files. I seldom restart my Emacs, but sometimes I do, and I don't want to lose my history then. (On the other hand, instead of history per se, I could probably do with the set of all *.tex, *.org, *.el and maybe a few other files for now =E2=80=93 and just in case I start to e.g. learn Python, I = could just add one more extension to the list. What might be a better workflow?) TIA, --=20 Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
