    <p>You could benefit from using <code>ido-mode</code>, which greatly enhances autocompletion nearly everywhere in emacs (especially when finding files or buffers)</p> <pre class="lang-lisp prettyprint-override"><code>(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t ido-auto-merge-work-directories-length -1 ido-create-new-buffer 'always ido-use-filename-at-point 'guess ido-everywhere t ido-default-buffer-method 'selected-window) (ido-mode 1) (put 'ido-exit-minibuffer 'disabled nil) (when (require 'ido-ubiquitous nil t) (ido-ubiquitous-mode 1)) </code></pre> <p>While this might help you quickly finding files "not far away", it probably won't help you much finding files in entirely different locations.</p> <p>If find that one way to begin tackling this problem is using <code>recentf-mode</code> to quickly jump to recent locations (if you have only a small number of usual project directories, this might do the trick). <code>recentf</code> can be coupled with <code>ido</code> using something like this (I'm not sure where I got this snippet from):</p> <pre class="lang-lisp prettyprint-override"><code>(recentf-mode 1) (setq recentf-max-saved-items 50) (defun ido-recentf-open () "Use `ido-completing-read' to \\[find-file] a recent file" (interactive) (if (find-file (ido-completing-read "Find recent file: " recentf-list)) (message "Opening file...") (message "Aborting"))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-r") 'ido-recentf-open) </code></pre> <p>With this, you can use <code>C-x C-f</code> (<code>ido-find-file</code>) to look for files near you current location, and <code>C-x C-r</code> (<code>ido-recentf-open</code>) to look for recently opened files (hoping one of them is not too far away from where you want to go).</p>

    1. CO+1. Very useful. I have switched on ido and am now using it - seems neat. I'm grateful for the elisp above though I was temporarily stalled by `require-or-install` and `install-elisp` on which it depends. At this point I still don't know enough to distinguish core Emacs from add-ons, but I got there in the end.

    2. CO@SlowLearner Sorry, `require-or-install` is a custom function I wrote to install the modes I need when I first start emacs on a new computer. I removed all mentions to it and the above snippets should now be standard core emacs.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
