(y or n) y Please compare the Bash completion with "C-x C-f TAB", not "C-x b TAB". The latter doesn't work on files, but on buffers, so you are comparing apples with oranges. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-emacs mailing list Bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I saying that emacs takes much longer to show me a list of 20 things than bash does for 512 things. I did not inquire about where those things come from or are stored. It would seem that asking emacs about things in its memory [buffer names] should be faster than having to get information [file names] from the disk. However, it seems the opposite is true. -- http://www.geocities.com/jidanni/ Taiwan(04)25854780 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-emacs mailing list Bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
