ido-find-file

ido-find-file is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `ido.el'.


(ido-find-file)

Edit file with name obtained via minibuffer.
The file is displayed according to `ido-default-file-method' -- the
default is to show it in the same window, unless it is already visible
in another frame.

The file name is selected interactively by typing a substring. As you
type in a string, all of the filenames matching the string are displayed
if substring-matching is used (default). Look at `ido-enable-prefix' and
`ido-toggle-prefix'. When you have found the filename you want, it can
then be selected. As you type, most keys have their normal keybindings,
except for the following:
Uses keymap `ido-file-completion-map', which is not currently defined.
