Its value is (comint-c-a-p-replace-by-expanded-history = shell-environment-variable-completion shell-command-completion = shell-c-a-p-replace-by-expanded-directory pcomplete-completions-at-point = shell-filename-completion comint-filename-completion) Local in buffer *shell*; global value is=20 (comint-c-a-p-replace-by-expanded-history comint-filename-completion) This variable is potentially risky when used as a file local variable. Documentation: List of functions called to perform completion. Works like `completion-at-point-functions'. See also `comint-dynamic-complete'. This is a good thing to set in mode hooks. [back]=
