ctrlf should not interfere with ido by default

[4DA]

When ctrlf is enabled and ido is used, pressing ido's C-s or C-r triggers ctrlf.

Since ido is in base and used by lot of packages I think it would be great to disable ctrlf for ido by default. One extra argument that such interatction is anyway useless.

This hook works on my emacs (27.1), though I am not sure this is right way to do it:

(add-hook 'ido-minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (ctrlf-local-mode -1)))

Yes, that seems reasonable to me. Isearch does not run into the same problem, because its bindings are established in global-map (ew) which is then overridden by minor mode maps, whereas CTRLF activates its bindings in a proper (global) minor mode map.

I'm not sure what the most appropriate solution would be. One way might be to make the binding by ctrlf-mode be an extended menu item using the :filter property to inhibit the binding from taking effect when a certain predicate returns non-nil. In that predicate we could implement a denylist for major/minor modes, or simply hardcode it to disable for IDO.

Your solution also would work perfectly well, I think. Might be easier. I think I would be fine with either.

ctrlf-mode also breaks Swiper. Disabling ctrl-local-mode would solve this, but I don't know if Swiper provides a setup hook to replicate the above solution. In any case, adding a hook for every package that redefines C-s in the minibuffer doesn't scale well. The source of all these problems is a keymap precedence issue, as pointed out in #80.

I've come up with a more robust keymapping scheme. It's a bit of a hack but should address the conflicting needs of these various bug reports. My new solution should solve #51, #52, #67, and #80 simultaneously while also working with remap bindings. I have tested it a bit and it seems to work, but I don't actually use most of the modes that have been mentioned in these issue reports, so I could use some help to confirm if the bug is resolved for all of them.
