Subject: 30.0.50; icomplete-show-matches-on-no-input and icomplete breaks
 auto-insert in .el files
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 17:25:51 -0500
1. Eval:
(setq icomplete-show-matches-on-no-input t)
(icomplete-mode t)
2. Open a .el file
3. M-x auto-insert
4. At the point where you're prompted for keywords, it's not possible to
   exit other than by C-g, so the skeleton is aborted halfway through.

fido-mode turns this variable on as well, but it has a binding for
icomplete-fido-exit which allows a fido-mode user to exit the keyword
prompt.

Perhaps a binding for a similar command should be added to regular
icomplete-mode?  Perhaps the very same binding?

At least, this class of hazards should be described in the docstring for
icomplete-show-matches-on-no-input.

Alternatively, perhaps the .el skeleton should be updated to work
differently.

Never mind, this is only probably in fido-mode,

[I didn't see your other email, it shows as a separate
thread here, so i was responding so tersely as joke
to what I saw as very short bug report.  Sorry!
