When using org-refile, I'm accustom to getting ido completion when selecting a target due to the customizations in my init below. In org-mode release 9.0.5, the minibuffer won't ido for an org-refile. Ido works otherwise. There isn't an error, and refiling still works; ido completion is just missing. I changed to org-mode release 8.3.6, things work as expected. ; Use full outline paths for refile targets - we file directly with IDO (setq org-refile-use-outline-path t) ; Targets complete directly with IDO (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil) ; Allow refile to create parent tasks with confirmation (setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes (quote confirm)) ; Use IDO for both buffer and file completion and ido-everywhere to t (setq org-completion-use-ido t) (setq ido-everywhere t) (setq ido-max-directory-size 100000) (ido-mode (quote both)) ; Use the current window when visiting files and buffers with ido (setq ido-default-file-method 'selected-window) (setq ido-default-buffer-method 'selected-window) ; Use the current window for indirect buffer display (setq org-indirect-buffer-display 'current-window) ;;;; Refile settings ; Exclude DONE state tasks from refile targets (defun bh/verify-refile-target () "Exclude todo keywords with a done state from refile targets" (not (member (nth 2 (org-heading-components)) org-done-keywords))) (setq org-refile-target-verify-function 'bh/verify-refile-target)
