When I was first looking into improving my mailbox selection function
|
|
I was looking at how to just ask the user for input with
|
|
completions. Though now that I came across `tmm-prompt` I really
|
|
prefer this way of working, at least in this case.
|
|
|
|
However, today another function was mentioned, in response to someone
|
|
pointing out `org-completing-read`: `completing-read`. Wow that's a
|
|
far leap.
|
|
|
|
Anyway:
|
|
|
|
[[!format el """
|
|
(completing-read "Your favorite color: "
|
|
'("red" "green" "blue" "yellow"))
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
This will ask for user input and provide these options as completions,
|
|
but it won't show a list of options, of provide shortcuts, like
|
|
`tmm-prompt` does.
|
|
|
|
It's good to know these things, and I really should read both the
|
|
emacs manual and the emacs lisp reference manual at some point.
