39 ;; Eshell, by using the pcomplete package, provides a full
40 ;; programmable completion facility that is comparable to shells like
43 ;; Completions are context-sensitive, which means that pressing <TAB>
44 ;; after the command 'rmdir' will result in a list of directories,
45 ;; while doing so after 'rm' will result in a list of all file
48 ;; Many builtin completion rules are provided, for commands such as
49 ;; `cvs', or RedHat's `rpm' utility. Adding new completion rules is
50 ;; no more difficult than writing a plain Lisp functions, and they can
51 ;; be debugged, profiled, and compiled using exactly the same
52 ;; facilities (since in fact, they *are* just Lisp functions). See
53 ;; the definition of the function `pcomplete/make' for an example of
54 ;; how to write a completion function.
56 ;; The completion facility is very easy to use. Just press TAB. If
57 ;; there are a large number of possible completions, a buffer will
58 ;; appear showing a list of them. Completions may be selected from
59 ;; that buffer using the mouse. If no completion is selected, and the
60 ;; user starts doing something else, the display buffer will
61 ;; automatically disappear.
63 ;; If the list of possible completions is very small, Eshell will
64 ;; "cycle" through them, selecting a different entry each time <TAB>
65 ;; is pressed. <S-TAB> may be used to cycle in the opposite
68 ;; Glob patterns can also be cycled. For example, entering 'echo
69 ;; x*<tab>' will cycle through all the filenames beginning with 'x'.
70 ;; This is done because the glob list is treated as though it were a
71 ;; list of possible completions. Pressing <C-c SPC> will insert all
72 ;; of the matching glob patterns at point.
74 ;; If a Lisp form is being entered, <TAB> will complete the Lisp
75 ;; symbol name, in exactly the same way that <M-TAB> does in Emacs
78 ;; The list of possible completions can be viewed at any point by
81 ;; Finally, context-related help can be accessed by pressing <C-c i>.
82 ;; This only works well if the completion function has provided Eshell
83 ;; with sufficient pointers to locate the relevant help text.
