Hi,

i have a custom function that gets input a project name then it opens
projects main file
and two terminal's in to project directories. i get the input using

  (interactive "sProject: ")

i want to use tab completion for project names. instead of typing the whole
name.

can i supply a list of names to the interactive function?

thanks.
Nurullah

No. But you can use Lisp code other than a string in the argument to
`interactive'. The code should return the list of the arguments. The code can
call `completing-read' to read user input with completion.

(interactive
  (list (completing-read "Project: " (my-list-of-projects) ...)))
