Helm + ido

[Sohail Somani]

Is there a way to use ido fuzzy matching (see
http://scottfrazersblog.blogspot.ca/2009/12/emacs-better-ido-flex-matching.html
for an explanation) with helm?

One of the most annoying things after using helm is having to fully type
in commands.

I'd rather type:

M-x s-var

instead of

M-x set-variable

Similarly, I'd rather type parts of filenames:

C-x C-f mycache.cp

as opposed to:

C-x C-f mystupidcache.cpp

I hope this makes some sense.

Thanks,

Sohail

M-x s var

This is read as a full file name, write instead:
e.g my cache cp
or
mycche
