So, for example, `C-h v map M-* local M-* mini' completes to variable names that contain "map", "local", and "mini", in any order. * You can use `C-~' (complement) to remove matches. So, for example, `C-h v map M-* local M-* mini C-~' matches variable names that contain "map" and "local" but do not contain "mini". * You can use regexps, not just substrings, as match patterns for `S-TAB'. So, for example, `C-h v [^-]map' completes to variables whose names contain "map" following any character except `-'. And `C-h v map.' completes to variables whose names contain "map" but don't end in "map" (more precisely, contain "map" followed by a non-newline character). * The same completion features are available for any kind of completion: buffer name, file name, command, and so on. So, for example, `C-x C-f map' completes to files whose names contain "map". * You can use `C-M-mouse-2' to get help about selected completion candidates on the fly, before choosing one to use. So, for example, `M-x map S-TAB' followed by `C-M-mouse-2' on selected completions in buffer *Completions* prints the descriptions of those clicked commands (whose names contain "map") - as many as you like, in any order. (Hit `RET' to finally choose one to execute, or hit `C-g' to cancel.) Or, for example, `C-x f ab TAB' followed by `C-M-mouse-2' on selected file names (which all begin with "ab") prints file properties (file type, permissions, size, times, etc.). Icicles has a lot to offer, and the doc describes it all, but the basic features are simple to use - you can take advantage of them without reading any doc. And `C-?' during completion gives you summary help.
