ido keybindings don't work in ergo emacs mode

[nim...@gmail.com]

Hi
When turning on ergo emacs, M-j and M-l don't cycle through matches. 

Hitting M-a and then M-l gives me an end of buffer error, hitting M-j moves backwards over the prompt in the mini buffer.

I need to use arrow keys to select different matches.  I've tried setting the keys in the ido-completion-map in the ido-setup-hook but I think ergoemacs is overriding this some how.  This is driving me absolutely batty.  Any suggestions??

what layout are you using?

and was it from MELPA?

it should work. It works for me.

using Qwerty notation, Alt plus j or l moves left/right, and i/k moves up/down. Alt+a won't work because it's execute-extended-command.

Sorry for ressurrecting this old thread, but it seems I'm having OP's problem.  I've just started to use ido-mode since iswitchb-mode was deprecated by 24.4

When I switch buffers (menu t):

  * Pressing either Alt+j or Alt+l throws me into "Find file".
  * Pressing Alt+k displays "End of history; no default available" then nothing happens.
  * Pressing Alt+i displays "Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil" then nothing happens.

I can cycle buffers using the arrow keys, though.

How do I bind Alt+j/l so that they cycle buffers as well?

[Matthew Fidler]

Ido sets up thing slightly differently:

- Pressing Alt+j should throw you in the traditional switch buffer

- Pressing Alt+l should throw you into find file

But, if you have typed something and want to move around, Alt+j and Alt+l should still move the cursor around as you wish.  I believe this is also true for the Alt+k and Alt+i keys.  They should move in the history, as in typical IDO (the up/down arrow keys work the same for me).

To enable cycling using the Alt+j/l you can select it from the menu

 

Or in your .emacs use

(ergoemacs-require 'ido-prev-next-instead-of-left-right)

It works! Thank you, Matthew, you're awesome!

Hopefully the next person googling this will find this old thread and
your answer.

Cheers,

Anyone knows how to achieve the same in ergoemacs-mode-20230207.1551?

- Invoking M-x command history (by pressing M-i) prints [Beginning of buffer]. Up/down arrow keys work as expected

- M-j and M-l in "Find file" just move the cursor instead of selecting a file. Left/right arrow keys work

macOS Emacs 29 https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/releases/tag/emacs-29.1-mac-10.0

The recommended way no longer works: https://github.com/ergoemacs/ergoemacs-mode/issues/313#issuecomment-56035680 (and seem to have been removed without any release notes https://github.com/ergoemacs/ergoemacs-mode/pull/506)

And neither the ido way:

(defun ergoemacs-install-ido-bindings ()
  "Install the ido-mode bindings."
  (define-key ido-completion-map (kbd "M-j") 'ido-prev-match)
  (define-key ido-completion-map (kbd "M-l") 'ido-next-match))

(add-hook 'ido-setup-hook 'ergoemacs-install-ido-bindings)

Any ideas?
