Re: can vertico approximate this ido setup?

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

thanks for the tip.  i didn't know you could get a new version of a
builtin like that.

up until now at least, with c-f in ido, it turns off ido, so i use
nothing special for tramp.  ido doesn't know tramp or v-v.

would be interesting to have a setup, either ido or vertico, in which
pretty much everything works.
