I have "ido-mode" turned on. Ido mode is great most of the time. I can do C-x C-f to open a file, and if the file doesn't exist in the current dir, ido will find it in my history. Really cool But, sometimes when I try to open a file that I've somehow misspelled, I get "Searching for " in the minibuffer and emacs freezes. After about 2-3 mins (due to a timeout value somewhere I suppose), emacs unfreezes and I can continue. Anyone know how to avoid this, or somehow set the timeout to a reasonable value? Tks, -T
