Hello all,
Recently, I started using `M-x compile` more but as I was used to
my shell suggesting past commands as I type (and tools like
atuin), I was missing auto-complete a lot.
I managed to add this functionality by writing a simple function
based on compilation-read-command that uses completing-read
instead of read-shell-command.
Then I used advice-add to overwrite the
original compilation-read-command with mine.
So far this works well, and as far as I can tell there is no good reason not to make compile auto-completing, it already has a history that you can navigate anyway.
With that said, this is the first time I write here and the first
time I'm trying to contribute to emacs, so I'm not sure what the
best way to go from here would be.
I think some decisions would need to be taken, for once I am not
sure if it's acceptable to change the default and make it
completing or if there should be an option for it.
Looking forward to your feedback, thanks
