Subject: bug#10840: 24.0.93; No `man' command completion on Windows (using Cygwin for man pages)
Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2012 11:51:23 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <66610117D7564FE49598FDDC6BCC8308@us.oracle.com> (raw)
I have Cygwin installed (a rather old version; dunno which one or how to
tell). I load `cygwin-mount.el', then `setup-cygwin.el', both of which
are available on EmacsWiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/cygwin-mount.el
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/setup-cygwin.el
emacs -Q
M-x man RET
Hitting TAB (with no minibuffer input) completes the empty input to the
two chars `^:'. Thereafter I can do nothing with that. Whether I type
anything after the `^:' or not, TAB just completes to `^:'.
If I instead first type `l' (as in `ls') and then hit TAB, I get [No
match]. It doesn't seem to matter what I type in the minibuffer: TAB
always says [No match].
(I can of course enter a complete command name, such as `ls' and hit
RET. `man' then works correctly. It is only the UNIX command-name
completion that is seemingly broken.
Am I missing something? I tried to debug this a bit but wasn't
successful in following what was happening. Please advise. Thx.
