Hello,
Is it possible to use icicle to complete evil ex arguments? Concretely,
assuming you have evil installed, if you type (to switch buffer)
:b<space><tab>
you get the usual completion list from emacs. Could it be possible to
use icicle to complete this buffer argument?
I took a quick look at the code, and currently <tab> in the minibuffer
is bound to this function:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun evil-ex-completion ()
"Completes the current ex command or argument."
(interactive)
(let (after-change-functions)
(evil-ex-update)
(completion-at-point)
(remove-text-properties (minibuffer-prompt-end) (point-max) '(face nil evil))))
#end_src
If I understand the `evil-ex-update' function, it parses the current
command line in the minibuffer to set up things such that completion at
point knows what kind of completion to do.
I don't really know where to go from here …
Thanks,
Alan
