tab-completion

I have a script that requires as an argument the name of command and arguments of that command. So I want to write a completion function that would complete the name of the command and would complete the arguments for that command. So I can complete the name of the command like this if [[ "$COMP_CWORD" == 1 ]]; then COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -c ${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} )) else #Don't know what to write here fi So this will complete the first argument to list of shell commands that are available to run. And on second and other arguments I need a completion for ${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} command. I

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 the CVSROOT? There is the Bash completion project. It has some cvs completion in it, I'm not 100% if it can determine all the modules for checkout. But it would be a good place to start. I already have this behavior I think (don't have a reliable CVS repository to

I like Python's Twisted and Cmd . I want to use them together. I got some things working, but so far I haven't figured out how to make tab-completion work, because I don't see how to receive tab keypres events right away (without pressing Enter) in Twisted's LineReceiver. Here's my code so far: #!/usr/bin/env python from cmd import Cmd from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.internet.stdio import StandardIO from twisted.protocols.basic import LineReceiver class CommandProcessor(Cmd): def do_EOF(self, line): return True class LineProcessor(LineReceiver): from os import linesep as

I have two commands, foo and foo-bar , where foo is a symlink to foo-bar . I want to be able to type f +TAB (pretend these are the only two commands on the path that begin with f ) and have one of them be completed (meaning the full name and the space after). What ends up happening though is that it completes to just foo (no space) because of foo-bar . It's obviously not much work to then just hit the space bar, but this interrupts my flow. Some additional details: foo and foo-bar are in the same directory. Deleting/moving foo isn't an option (I've hidden some details). Is there a way to

This question already has answers here : Multi Level Bash Completion (2 answers) Closed last month . I am trying to develop an autocomplete or tab-complete feature for my own set of commands. For example, assume foo is my binary: CLI>> foo [TAB] [TAB] It should show the main commands configure and show . Then if I select configure , it should show the subcommands CM , DSP and NPU : CLI>> foo configure [TAB] [TAB] DSP NPU CM` I only know how to tab-complete and display for the first level - how can I get the second level as well? I will place this in /etc/completion.d . My Code: _foo() { local

I am facing some strange behavior with file-name completion in emacs. C-x C-f to find file opens up the minibuffer with i:/cygwin/home/rrajagop/StockScreener/working_copy/master_repo/stock_screener/. Hitting a TAB makes it i:/cygwini:/cygwin/home/rrajagop/StockScreener/working_copy/master_repo/stock_screener/. A couple of interesting things I've noticed: When the minibuffer opens up, i:/cygwin is greyed out and the path seems to start from /home. A C-a (go to begining of line) takes me to /home and not to i:/cygwin. So it looks like something in emacs is parsing the path to start from /home

I'm using the EPD version of python and IPython. After installing some modules using easy_install I notice that, although they can be imported, they cannot be tab completed. They exist on the path but, while included modules (pylab, readline, math) can be completed, these new modules cannot. Anyone know what I should look into to find the problem? I've checked that the packages are in the same place as other modules: In [1]: import pylab In [2]: pylab Out[2]: <module 'pylab' from '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/5.0.0/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pylab.pyc'> In [3]: import
