1. As I mentioned, my `read-face-name' just shows face names in
*Completions* using their own faces. IMO, that should also be done in Emacs,
but it is 100% independent of the rest of Icicles.
This could be a good idea. Can it be done by replacing the standard
`read-face-name' with yours? Would someone please look at installing
this?
2. Same thing for `face-valid-attribute-values': It shows color names using
the colors they name. Good to add to Emacs, and independent of the rest of
Icicles.
Likewise.
3. My `choose-completion-string' has the minor tweak of not exiting the
minibuffer if this is just a `lisp-complete-symbol' completion. This was
done long ago, and I'm not sure it is still relevant. Again, if it is useful
it can be added to Emacs independently of the rest of Icicles - Icicles does
not depend on this.
It seems random and probably not desirable.
4. My `completion-setup-function' and `display-completion-list' - see what I
wrote before (about fitting the *Completions* window to the buffer etc.).
This would mean modifying the definitions of `completion-setup-function' and
`display-completion-list' in ways that I think would be good anyway. For
instance, my `display-completion-list' does not remove text properties from
candidates, and it adjusts the number of displayed columns and their widths.
I personally would prefer to see `display-completion-list' be a Lisp
function, but I will survive without that. My enhancements to it are
independent of the rest of Icicles, but they do matter to the Icicles
experience ;-).
I am not sure what that previous text that refers to, but someone can
look at these changes and think about installing them. Would someone
please do?
3. My `switch-to-completions' selects the *Completions* window, even if it
is on another frame. This could be added to Emacs independently of Icicles.
That seems good. Would someone please look at installing this change?
1. My `dabbrev-completion' and my `lisp-complete-symbol' also select the
*Completions* window, even if it is on another frame. This is not very
important.
Likewise. Anything that selects the *Completions* buffer
ought to do it in a general way.
