`robe-completing-read` for `Module: ` is excessively interrupting

[vemv]

Hi @dgutov ,

I'm using Robe, company-mode and IDO.

I have company-auto-update-doc set to t.

Under that setup, the Module: prompts are too high-friction. While using Company, maybe I intended to <down> my way to method foo, but method bar is before in the Company popup, and Robe asks me to disamgibuate the Module: . I cannot exit that until I C-g or choose an arbitrary module.

What I really want is to press <down> again and continue my way to foo.

The way we solved an analog problem in CIDER was to provide this macro:

https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/f85d5c17043a430d0bb730c6637fba52f5a7f94f/cider-client.el#L480-L500

And then one would use:

(advice-add 'robe-completing-read
            :around
            (lambda (f &rest args)
              (cider--with-temporary-ido-keys "<up>" "<down>"
                                              (apply f args))))

(I actually used that CIDER macro as-is with robe-completing-read and it worked!)

I don't have a problem atm with this setup, but I figured it would be good to let you know / document a solution.

Cheers - V
