How to Use Ido with `emojify-completing-read`?

[WammKD]

The documentation of emojify-completing-read note being able to use Ido (or Helm, etc.) with the function yet the function has hard-coded using completing-read; how would one go about use any of the other completion methods with the emojify-completing-read function?

Hello @WammKD, sorry for the late reply, emojify-completing-read does not explicitly select an completion framework, it would use whatever you have configured to work with the rest of the Emacs. In case of Ido I think there used to be a package (ido-everywhere?) which used to configure Emacs to use Ido for all completions, similarly helm has helm-mode which makes helm the default completion framework

If I understand you are looking for a way to configure emojify such that it explicitly uses a particular framework right? Unfortunately emojify does not have any such feature, but this should be easy to add

Hey, @iqbalansari; no worries! I take quite a bit to respond often enough, myself.

Yup; that's exactly what I'm looking for. While I rather like Ido, I absolutely hate when it crops into, say, opening a file or other such.

So I haven't used ido-everywhere since, well, I don't want it everywhere.

Would it help for me to look into adding the feature? I don't know how much free time I have, at the moment, but, of course, I'd love to help in any way that's useful.

That would be great @WammKD, I will happily accept a PR implementing this, thanks!

[WammKD]

Took me forever, @iqbalansari, but got that PR in #70.

I have merged your PR, MELPA should be updated in a bit, could you try out the update and confirm once MELPA is updated?

Ooof; sorry I never responded to this. It's been a while but I remember it working really well. Thanks for being so helpful! And for an awesome package.
