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