Do you use 'internal completion or separate command to find completions ? If internal, the first choice would be to install `company' package from ELPA (I don't know how it works with separate command -- which I use, with selection-menu). Company-mode provides nice popup where to choose completions from. If that is not an option, someone(tm) could provide a patch which, based on (fboundp 'ivy-read) uses either ivy-read or completing-read, with their specific options for completion (what I saw about ivy-read that looks pretty good). OTOH, if someone(tm) can show (completing-read ...) which works good as is, or when wrapped with ivy, such patches might just be tolerated(tm). FWIW, I've used the following code in my notmuch setup like forever...: require 'selection-menu) (setq notmuch-address-selection-function (lambda (prompt collection initial-input) (selection-menu "Send To:" (cons initial-input collection) t))) Tomi > I currently override this behavior by setting > notmuch-address-selection-function to my own function: > > (defun jv-notmuch--address-selection (prompt collection > initial-input) > (completing-read > prompt collection nil nil orig 'notmuch-address-history)) > (setq notmuch-address-selection-function > #'jv-notmuch--address-selection) > > This works as intended. > > Now my question: Is this something specific to ivy-mode, and would > it be possible to add an option which simulates the above behavior > (basically, using the pre-set variable 'orig' instead of > (car-options) in notmuch-address-expand-name), so that I do not > need to insert my own function which adds no functionality? > > Thanks (also for CC me via PM) > > And by the way, notmuch really is great, thank you for this > software! > > Jörg > > > -- > http://www.joergvolbers.de > https://fu-berlin.academia.edu/jvolbers > _______________________________________________ > notmuch mailing list > notmuch@notmuchmail.org > https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
