Basically, if you want to use ido-completion in some code, you would use
`ido-comleting-read' instead of `completing-read'. For example, in some
home-brewn mode I have something like that:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(if (and (featurep 'ido) ido-mode)
;; ido is available and enabled, so use it.
(ido-completing-read "Command: " commands)
;; fallback to normal completion with the
;; most frequently used command as default.
(completing-read
(concat "Command (defaults to `"
(car commands) "'): ")
commands
nil t nil nil (car commands)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You could try to make `completing-read' point to `ido-completing-read':
(fset 'completing-read 'ido-completing-read)
But that might error in some cases, cause `completing-read' has one
optional parameter more than `ido-completing-read'. You might want to
create a function `andrea-completing-read' with the exact signature of
`completing-read' which just delegates to `ido-completing-read' and
throws away the additional parameter, and then do
(fset 'completing-read 'andrea-completing-read)
In any case: This method is a hammer, so be warned. ;-)
