This has been suggested, but unfortunately the code on master was not modified to do that yet, and I didn't see any enthusiasm for making such a change. > In addition, if you do completion and the existing input string > matches nothing that is marked as meaningful, I suggest it could > complete based on the commands that are not marked as meaningful. > > Another idea: If you have made a listing of possible completions from > names marked meaningful, typing TAB or ? could replace that with a > full list of possible completions (meaningful or not), and each > successive TAB or ? could toggle between the two. Something like that was also suggested. Again, none of that is currently on master, so I wonder whether it looks like a good idea to people. (I personally do like it, but then I was saying from the get-go that the current code of the feature is too radical.)
