# Use Ivy completion with Smex command matching

*NOTE: This package is redundant, given `counsel-M-x`, but I'm leaving it here anyway.*

[Smex](https://github.com/nonsequitur/smex) has really nice handling

of command histories, favouring commands which have been executed most

frequently in the past. This package provides an

[Ivy](https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper) interface to those internals

via the `ivy-smex` command, which is meant as a replacement for

`execute-extended-command` or `smex`:

This package was inspired by - and based in part on -

[helm-smex](https://github.com/ptrv/helm-smex).

## Installation

### Manual

Ensure `ivy-smex.el` is in a directory on your load-path, and

add the following to your `~/.emacs` or `~/.emacs.d/init.el`:

```elisp

(require 'ivy-smex)

(global-set-key (kbd "M-x") 'ivy-smex)

```

### MELPA

If you're an Emacs 24 user or you have a recent version of

`package.el` you can install `ivy-smex` from the

[MELPA](http://melpa.org) repository. The version of

`ivy-smex` there will always be up-to-date.

To make `ivy-smex` your default `M-x` command, add the following to

your `~/.emacs` or `~/.emacs.d/init.el`:

```elisp

(global-set-key (kbd "M-x") 'ivy-smex)

```
