>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Add missing remappings=
for Ido mode
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Among others, add a remapping for C-x 4 d, cf. Bug#=
26360.
This reduces the effect of ido-everywhere to the point where I wonder if
there's any point keeping it.
ido-m=
ode and ido-everywhere are very different: ido-everywhere only changes the =
completion function, ido-mode has semantic knowledge about the commands. Fo=
r example, C-x 4 f C-d visits the directory in another window; that is impo=
ssible with ido-everywhere. On the other hand, ido-everywhere works for oth=
er commands not explicitly covered as well.
=C2=A0
Alternatively, wouldn't it be preferable to not use this patch and
enable ido-everywhere by default instead?
No, as described above, they are very different. =C2=A0

What are the tradeoffs?
The installed patch solves a concrete prob=
lem now. Converging ido-mode and ido-everywhere (and ido-ubiquitous, ibuffe=
r, iswitchb, ...) is desirable, but orders of magnitude more work, therefor=
e infeasible.=C2=A0
