Subject: tab completion for mode derived from comint-mode
Date: 28 Sep 2007 13:20:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9qhclfqbnt.fsf@aquin.mat.univie.ac.at> (raw)
Dear Gurus,
I wanted to add simple filename completion to my axiom-mode today (axiom is a
free computer algebra system, in case you care).
So I said
(define-key axiom-mode-map [tab] 'comint-dynamic-complete-filename)
After that, hitting tab after an initial letter produced a list of possible
completions in another buffer. Great!
BUT: hitting tab again advanced the cursor, inserting a tab, which I really do
not want.
I'd like to have behaviour as in shell mode, where hitting tab again does
nothing or, which I would like better actually, pages through the list of
completions.
While we are at it, I'd really want to have emacs list files with suffix
.input, .spad, .as
only, but I hope that should be easily customisable. (I want to have this
behaviour only in axiom-mode, of course.)
Many thanks,
Martin
