I'm trying to get started using Icicles, but I'm wondering if ido
is interfering with functionality. So far:
I installed Icicles from the repo and added
(require 'icicles)
to
init.el
.I used
M-x
customize
to turn offido
, resulting in'(ido-mode nil nil (ido))
in the
custom-set-variables
section ofinit.el
.Restarted Emacs.
Now, running C-h c
C-x C-f
gives me the result of
C-x C-f
runs the commandido-find-file
However, the EmacsWiki page on Icicles says this command should have been automatically remapped to icicle-file
. There are some other functions that also don't seem to be working. By contrast, though, C-h c
M-x
results in
M-x
runs the commandicicle-execute-extended-command
How do I fix this?
emacs -Q
and loading Icicles. IfC-x C-f
is bound toido-find-file
then you clearly have not removed Ido from the equation. And maybe try using the Customize UI, instead of fiddling with code in your init file. – Drew Nov 6 '14 at 21:57ido-find-file
being remapped toicicle-file

), if you want some Ido-like behavior with Icicles. – Drew Nov 6 '14 at 22:24emacs -Q
and turned onicy-mode
and found thatC-x C-f
was now bound toicicle-file
so I guessido
is still somehow not fully disabled, as you suspected. Here's the page I was referencing, which contains this: "...commandfind-file
, is by default remapped in Icicle mode to multi-commandicicle-file
. Remapping means that any keys, such asC-x C-f
, that would normally be bound tofind-file
are instead bound toicicle-file
when you are in Icicle mode." – Steven Arntson Nov 7 '14 at 3:34
