Emacs ido-mode (minor mode)

I have just spent some time play around with the Emacs "InteractivelyDoThings"-mode; ido-mode. Ido-mode replaces your regular "find-file" and "switch-buffer" mini-buffer with a much more flexible version; a version where you are allowed to do fussy matching, tab-complete your way to opening files on remote servers, and much much more...

Check out this screencast by Stuart Halloway if you have the time, or just dive into this EmacsWiki-page for a short explanation of what ido-mode does for you.
