I'm trying to write a small command launcher application, and would like to use bash's tab completions in my own completion system. I've been able to get a list of completions for general commands using compgen -abck. However, I would also like to get completions for specific commands: for instance, the input git p should display complet...
I am trying to set up bash completion for a utility script I wrote, so I added the following script to /etc/bash_completion.d: _mcd() { local cur words COMPREPLY=() cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" words=`mcd-completion-words` COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${words}" -- "$cur") ) return 0 } complete -F _mcd mcd The ...
I have an command line interpreter (or "line-oriented command interpreter" in the python docs for the cmd module) for a program that I'd like to add command line utility interface to. For example, now a session looks like this: (% for shell prompt, :) is my custom prompt) % tasks (invokes command line interpreter) :) clockHours Teachin...
Xcode shows you a grayed-out version of what it will complete to and if you hit tab or right-arrow, it will complete. It's pretty sweet. Is this possible in TextMate? Thanks! Matt ...
I am running IPython on Windows 7 x64 with pyreadline installed. If I start a new session and type: import numpy nu<TAB> Then nu autocompletes to numpy. However, if I start a new session and try this: import numpy n<TAB> Then nothing happens. I would expect it to cycle through all of the possible completions. I'm currently usin...
Zsh completion is a rather complex beast, and I find the man-page very difficult to read, especially it's missing (simple) examples of all the various optspec forms etc. I haven't managed to find anything online myself yet so help would be most appreciated. As an example here's what I'm struggling with at the moment, and the zshcompsys...
I'm on my macbook using vim, and let's say for simplicity's sake that I have ~/some_file.py, ~/some_other_file.py, and ~/user.py open. On the mac, ~ expands to /Users/<username>. So if I type in :b user and then hit tab to expand, it goes through each of the files instead of going straight to ~/user.py. Is there any way to prevent thi...
Hi I'm trying to do a CLI, preferrably written in Python. I need a multi-level CLI, and I want tab completion. I looked at the cmd module (from the Python standard library) and readline with the "complete" function (for tab completion). They both lacked at something, i.e. I haven't figured out how to handle multiple levels such as: l...
In vim, I use Ctrl-n to word complete while in insert mode. If there is more than one possible match, I get a dropdown from which I can select one of the possible matches using the arrow keys. However, I don't want to use the arrow keys; I want to use the 'j' and 'k' keys. But when I type 'j' or 'k', it inserts the letters instead of go...
