C<C-h> provides online help regarding +the possible interactive options. + +=head3 EXTENDED USAGE: + +It is possible to pass arguments to the /ido_switch_start command, which +correspond to some of the interactively settable parameters listed below. + +The following options are available: + +=over 4 + +=item C<-channels> -- search through only channels. + +=item C<-queries> -- search through only queries. + +=item C<-all> -- search both queries and channels (Default). + +=item C<-active> -- limit search to only window items with activity. + +=item C<-exact> -- enable exact-substring matching + +=item C<-flex> -- enable flex-string matching + +=back + +I<If neither of C<-exact> or C<-flex> are given, the default is the value of +C</set ido_use_flex>> + +=head4 EXAMPLE + +=over 2 + +=item C</bind ^G /ido_switch_start -channels> + +=item C</bind ^F /ido_switch_start -queries -active> + +=back + +B<NOTE:> When entering window switching mode, the contents of your input line will +be saved and cleared, to avoid visual clutter whilst using the switching +interface.
