It doesn't work with my test cases. C-j in fido-mode selects the current
option, not the typed (sub)string.

I have switched to plain icomplete-mode. It is quite close to fido-mode
when used with these settings:

    (setq completion-styles '(flex)
          read-file-name-completion-ignore-case t
          read-buffer-completion-ignore-case t)

Plain icomplete-mode has a way to choose only the typed string (RET), a
way to choose the suggested option and exit (C-j), and a way to complete
the string to the suggested option (C-M-i), plus some other things.
