(and similar for other DN> key bindings) anything.el does not change or interfere with the normal completion system. IMHO this is a good thing: it has allowed anything.el to experiment freely and has made it a simple unobtrusive add-on.

How about "anything.el: easy find/select/operate on files/fonts/anything interface. A live-search (similar to Quicksilver and Gnome Do) alternative to standard completion mechanisms you can try by exploring the anything-* commands. Does not change or interfere with standard completion and requires no customizations out of the box."
