Navigating/selecting candidates

[jdahm]

A few observations about my experience with swiper so far:

1. Sometimes I still hit <up> and <down> out of habit and that seems to confuse ivy-read. Would be nice to define actions for these as well.
2. I also find myself hitting <TAB> occasionally, and this seems to insert spaces instead of doing something more sane, like some sort of completion or C-j-like action.

You seem to have missed to specify the keys that you're hitting. Can you clarify?

Github's markdown-syntax got rid of text inside < >s. Updated!

👍

I'd also agree with @jdahm that <tab> should be bound to ivy-alt-done or something similar. (I've bound it to jvy-alt-done locally, and while I like that for reading file names, I'd prefer something that requires one more confirmation for e.g. M-x completion...)

@tsdh, I was thinking of TAB doing partial completion (if the input is simple) followed by ivy-alt-done on the second TAB while the input hasn't changed.
But partial completion with a potential regex is tricky, so I've been putting off this feature so far.

@abo-abo Sounds very good to me.
