Subject: wishlist: buffer completion for Eshell #<...> syntax?
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:39:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87seu7tcgo.fsf@librehacker.com> (raw)
Hi, I use eshell-command frequently to paste output from a command into a buffer. E.g.:
```
ls -1 *.jpg >> #<some-other-buffer>
```
It would be really cool if there was completion available so that I could type "#<so" <TAB> and get buffer name completion candidates. This doesn't seem to be a feature yet, at least not in the Emacs 30 branch. It will give some completion candidates from functions and such, but not buffer names.
