Subject: Calling all bash completion experts..
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 09:45:29 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0611230935520.27596@woody.osdl.org> (raw)
So, I'm a happy but clueless user of the bash completion, and one thing
drives me wild: when it has found an exclusive completion, it doesn't add
the final space at the end, but just beeps at you when you <tab> again.
So I do "git repa<tab>" and get "git repack", which is fine, but I really
_wanted_ to get "git repack " (with the space at the end), since I've now
got a unique command, and that's the normal completion behaviour (ie I
want it to act the same way that "git-repa<tab>" would have acted).
The same is true of filename arguments, btw:
git commit cont<tab>com<tab><tab>
gives me
git commit contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
but again, it doesn't seem to do the right thing about the fact that it
was the unique choice, so it didn't add the final space, and when you
press <tab> more to get what the other choices are, it doesn't show you
any other choices (because there are none).
Now, without knowing the completion syntax, I assume it's the "-o nospace"
things in the completion file. So I'm wondering _why_ that "nospace" is
there, and whether this could be fixed?
