Subject: bug#9554: 24.0.50; shell-mode completion broken
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:30:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mxe0cjac.fsf@silenus.orebokech.com> (raw)

I disagree with the following change that was made in Emacs 24:

| ** Completion
| *** shell-mode uses pcomplete rules, with the standard completion UI.

It results in broken completion in two cases that I've noticed (before
disabling it) and probably in lots of other cases. pcomplete had
practically no users until now, it's not good enough to be enabled by
default in Emacs 24.

The two cases I've noticed:

1) Create two files with `touch foo bar'. Then type `rm foo b' and try
   to complete 'bar'.

2) Try to scp a local file (e.g. `scp /<TAB>'). pcomplete insists on
   completing host names, not file names.
