It has nothing to do with the windows problem, I am on Linux too :-),
but I just found a different idea to combine the mentioned
'hippie-expand' and 'comint...' (sorry Thierry, I still did not get your
setup). I use these lines,which I found in the net, to complete the words
using the 'tab' key:
(defun indent-or-expand (arg)
"Either indent according to mode, or expand the word preceding
point."
(interactive "*P")
(if (and
(or (bobp) (= ?w (char-syntax (char-before))))
(or (eobp) (not (= ?w (char-syntax (char-after))))))
; (dabbrev-expand arg)
(hippie-expand arg)
(indent-according-to-mode)))
(defun my-tab-fix ()
(local-set-key [tab] 'indent-or-expand))
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my-tab-fix)
The completion just works, if the cursor is behind the word. Now, a good
combination would be to insert a second if-statement, which looks, if
the word to complete starts with "/" or "../"; then use
'comint...' otherwise use 'hippie...'. My problem now is to check for
the starting "/" or "../". Does anyone have an idea, how to do it?
Fabian
