Ido Mode Hang
20 Sep 2012
I ran into a problem the other day where I couldn’t get ido-mode to
start up. Every time I would run M-x ido-mode
emacs would hang up
(even starting with emacs -Q
)…
The solution turned out to be simple: my ~/.ido.last
file somehow
contained stale references (maybe a network mount that went away or
something), so all I had to do was delete that sucker and I was
ido
‘ing my little heart out once more!
