Icomplete and Ido: Why are both in the codebase?
My question is pretty simple, and that is why Ido and Icomplete are both available in emacs.

Make fido-mode remember which command I chose

Navigating through completion possibilities with icomplete-vertical
I am enabling icomplete-vertical and having difficulties about how to use it.
With the standard icomplete, I get the list of possible completions in the minibuffer and can navigate between the different completions with C-, and C-.

Disable `icomplete` with Emacs `find-file`
I have been experimenting with various completion frameworks in Emacs. I am currently using consult together with icomplete. I like the way things are working for me but I would like to disable icomplete for find-file. I prefer the traditional Emacs…
