Subject: On minibuffer completion (Cygwin)
Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:24:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4894D0A5.7030105@alice.it> (raw)
Since these changes:
* minibuffer.el (read-file-name-completion-ignore-case):
Add cygwin to the list.
often I need to type two keys to complete a name, while before it was
sufficient only one key.
For example, if I have
foo
Fio
then before: 'f<TAB>' worked fine and the completion was 'foo'; 'F<TAB>'
==> 'Fio'. Now I need 'fo<TAB>' or 'Fi<TAB>'.
Usually Cygwin is strictly case sensitive by default, even if it 'lives'
on a OS case insensitive. For ex.: 'mv emacs.mail Emacs.mail' works;
only 'cp emacs.mail Emacs.mail' doesn't.
So, why Emacs can't do what Cygwin can at its prompt?
To be short: my opinion is that Cygwin shouldn't be added to that list!
Cheers,
Angelo.
