Excellent. Once you get to try it out, any feedback on how to improve the sorting, if any, would be appreciated. It took me some tries to come up with the current version, which I am pretty happy with as far as matching my sorting expectations goes, but that doesn't mean that there aren't more intuitive criteria for sorting. In the end, of course, it's all heuristic anyway. Cheers, Norbert On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 11:59 AM Peter Jones wrote:

I really got used to using emacs ido mode, which offers a pretty powerful and intuitive fuzzy matching of completions, so I wanted to port the same to XMonad.Prompt.

I've wanted this for a long time, can't wait to try it out. Thanks!

Hi Peter, Sorry for not replying in a timely manner. My summer has been insanely busy. Unfortunately, I cannot offer any particularly helpful comment at this point either. The problems you describe are proof that proper testing would go a long way - my bad. I'll try to find the time to look at this in the coming weeks to see what can be done to fix this. Having said this, I personally don't use FuzzyMatch in the Shell prompt; for commands, standard prefix filtering seems to be more effective. Still, you should of course be able to use it if you want it. Cheers, Norbert On Tue, Jul 14, 2015 at 1:09 PM, Peter Jones wrote:

I've been playing with your fuzzy matching for about a week now. I really, really like it.

The only issue I have is that I can't seem to get tab completion to work. For simple prompts I can just press enter once the item I want is selected. But for more complicated menus, such as the shell menu, I want to be able to press tab and have the current item expanded so I can start entering arguments. This doesn't seem to work.

I've also noticed that if I have fuzzy matching turned on in the shell prompt and start to complete a file path it crashes the prompt and I have to restart xmonad to remove the X window that the prompt created.
