I'm a big fan of ido-mode, so much so that I would like to use it for things like describe-function or find-tag and so on, without having to write something like in "Can I get ido-mode-style completion for searching tags in Emacs?" for each one.
Both

Hi, I wonder if I can keep ido from not remembering my history and only show completions for files that are in the current directory when I am searching for a file. I understand that this history feature is useful at times, but I often end up editing the incorrect file because I think I am editing…

Hi, does anyone know of a good way to distinguish dired-mode buffer names from other types of buffers in the minibuffer while using ido-mode? For instance... showing a forward-slash at end of a dired-mode buffer name?

I am switching to Emacs from TextMate. One feature of TextMate that I would really like to have in Emacs is the "Find in Project" search box that uses fuzzy matching.

My ~/.emacs start-up file is stored in my AFS home directory. Often when I login to a linux machine I will forget to renew my AFS credentials before attempting to edit a local (non-AFS) file with Emacs.
When this happens Emacs will attempt to load ~./emacs but cannot because it is in AFS space where…

I have seen a few suggestions on making emacs portable (on Windows). I have this in my site-start.el:
(defvar program-dir (substring data-directory 0 -4))
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(setenv "HOME" program-dir)
I changed the HOME variable so that not only my .emacs init files (and other init…
