Other than that, Helm is great. Especially if you use projectile. When I started to use projectile, I gave myself a chance to see how ido goes, and I used projectile with ido for a while. But I finally decided that ido was not what I want while using projectile. Therefor, I've improved helm-projectile, and if you pull the latest projectile you will find that the helm interface has been improved. In short, in order to use projectile with Helm, you can now type C-c ph (`helm-projectile'), then you can type something to select your project. Now, if you press ENTER you will be provided to select the file in your project, with Helm. However, you can also type C-d to open Dired for your project, M-g to goto VC or Magit and M-e to open Eshell. These four actions are what I've been using a lot, but I'm sure we can add much more useful actions. So, give `helm-projectile' (bound to C-c ph) a go to see how you like it. York
