Subject: 23.0.60; command paths are not expanded in *shell* buffer
Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 19:56:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <61D1EAB9-5B39-4E41-B22D-B34B51E4CE30@Freenet.DE> (raw)
Hello!
After launching GNU Emacs with -Q and creating a *shell* buffer (with
tcsh 6.12.00 (Astron) 2002-07-23 (powerpc-apple-darwin) options
8b,nls,dl,al,kan,sm,rh,color,dspm,filec) I can't expand the absolute
path of GNU Emacs. It does not work when I start typing /us<TAB> nor
does it work when I insert a <SPC> before the /us start of the path
name. (When I type <RET> to get rid of everything typed tcsh asks me
whether /usr is OK, autocorrect and 'correct = all' are set). It also
fails with relative paths.
It works (with absolute and relative paths) when I start the command
with another word (some command or alias). When I then type <TAB> to
complete, a *Completions* buffer is created showing me case-
insensitive completions. When I now select with the mouse a
candidate, part of what I had typed before is deleted. To start with
my example:
I had written 'l /us' and then pressed <TAB>
I selected with mouse-2 from the two presented completions 'Users/'
and 'usr/' the latter
command line now showed: <prompt> usr/
I can undo and start again. I can start in a new *shell* buffer to
type /us <TAB> <TAB>, which leads to nothing, and then change to: C-a
l <SPC> C-e <TAB> and completion works suddenly ('l' is an alias for
ls, but I could also insert 'a' or 'I' which are neither commands nor
aliases nor shell functions in Bourne shell alikes). The deletion
also happens with file names, for example with 'l .emacs <TAB> mouse-2'.
The presence of a ~/.emacs_tcsh file place no role. The type of shell
plays no role, i.e. I can reproduce this in a bash (2.05b.0(1)-
release or 3.2.9(1)-release) I start inside tcsh.
This behaviour started weeks, or months, ago. I then thought it was
due to adding 'correct = all', but *shell* in GNU Emacs 22.2 does not
show the same ... and the tcsh setting plays no role!
