How can I get tab completion to work for selecting CVS modules under Linux (preferably using bash) ? For example, "cvs co " + tab would list the modules I can checkout. I've heard it's easy to do using zsh, but still I didn't manage to get it working either. Also, how can I list all available modules (or repositories?) available in th...
Several months ago, I wrote a blog post detailing how to achieve tab-completion in the standard Python interactive interpreter--a feature I once thought only available in IPython. I've found it tremendously handy given that I sometimes have to switch to the standard interpreter due to IPython unicode issues. Recently I've done some work...

I'm writing a cross-platform shell like program in python and I'd like to add custom tab-completion actions. On Unix systems I can use the built-in readline module and use code like the following to specify a list of possible completions when I hit the TAB key: import readline readline.parse_and_bind( 'tab: complete' ) readline.set_comp...

So I might end up with a command line like: "someapp...
I am using the Term::Shell package in Perl for implementing a CLI tool. I am not able to do the tab completion of a command part with that. comp_CMD() - which is a API provided by this Term::Shell, is to achieve the tab completion. This is not helping me. Does anyone know how to make this work?? Sample Code: #!/usr/bin/env perl packa...

I'm trying to set up directory completion in tcsh and/or bash (both are used at my site) with a slight twist: for a particular command "foo", I'd like to have completion use a custom function to match the first /-delimited term to an actual subtree node, and then follow normal directory completion for any successive terms. It is sort of...
I'm trying to determine how the system prints characters to standard input -- that is, how it prints characters which the user can delete and which are considered input if the user hits "Enter." I happen to be using C, but I would be very surprised if the solution were language-dependent. Thanks for any insights! : D ...
