dynamic completion in comint

dynamic completion in comint

[Samuel Wales]

In shell-mode, when I type TAB, comint correctly does
partial completion and pops up a window with the candidates.

Is there a way to get it to delete that window when there
are no more candidates?

Thanks.

Icicles deletes the *Completions* window automatically. It also enhances
completion (multiple input patterns, pattern complementing,...).
