Subject: reenabling icomplete operation during read-buffer
Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 18:27:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2cd46e7f0902091527p7886f1fap33e330e73165f039@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
i noticed that icomplete stopped operating during, eg,
switch-to-buffer, in my CVS checkouts a good while back. i'm finally
getting around to investigating, and see that read-buffer &c fail this
condition in icomplete-simple-completing-p:
(or t (not (functionp minibuffer-completion-table))
(eq icomplete-with-completion-tables t)
(member minibuffer-completion-table
icomplete-with-completion-tables))))
i believe i (or someone) put that in to weed out complicated
situations where casual use of completion may be prohibitive, for
instance, during file-name read operations where the filesystem could
be remote or otherwise mediated. the thing is, this inhibition is not
necessary for buffer-name-reading situations, but i haven't figured
out a good way to recognize that situation, in order to reframe the
above condition to allow for it. can anyone suggest a good way to do
so? or am i heading in the wrong direction?
thanks!
