The documentation string for 'ido-find-file' doesn't mention 'C-d' at all. How to open a directory can be confusing for new 'ido' users because RET opens the first matching file, not the directory.
'C-d' also deletes characters if point is not at the end of input, but I think it isn't worth explaining this in the help text, for brevity. It is enough that 'C-d' is *mentioned* so that the user knows of its existence; the differing behaviour based on the position of the point should be obvious after a small amount of experimentation by the user.
Kind regards,
Dave.
