Subject: Completing environmental variable names?
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2015 12:34:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BC5672F8AD4C054BAF167C9801500D1A010AD9D20F@USSLMMBX003.net.plm.eds.com> (raw)
Has anyone written a hook to complete environmental variable
names?
Imagine that I have a variable named LONG_ENV_VAR_NAME, and
one called LONG_FOO_VAR_NAME. If I'm finding a file (typing
its name in the minibuffer, the usual way), and after typing
"$LONG_E" I want to press TAB, and have it to complete it to
$LONG_ENV_VAR_NAME and then to expand its value (as it does
already).
I've become accustomed to this behavior in the T C Shell,
and frown when my beloved Emacs is less capable....
Thanks,
--
