C-c C-o goes directly to match instead of occur buffer in ivy-imenu-anywhere

(Originally posted at abo-abo/swiper#1306 )

If I do M-x ivy-imenu-anywhere and hit C-c C-o, it will go to the match (as if I'd hit enter), instead of opening the occur buffer (the occur buffer is still opened, but "behind" the buffer with the match).

I don't think this is specific to imenu-anywhere. It does a tiny bit more than replacing completing-read-function for the duration of the call. I hope @abo-abo could tell more about why ivy-occur (C-c C-o) fails in that situation.

OK, I see the issue now. Using just completing-read-function won't work with ivy-occur - ivy-read needs to be called directly (to pass the action parameter).

Thanks Oleh. So, is there anything I can do on imenu-anywhere side at the moment?

If it's possible, try to use ivy-read instead of completing-read-function (when ivy-mode is on).
See counsel-imenu: it works with ivy-occur because it passes the :action parameter to ivy-read.
