36 ;;; Commentary:
37
38 ;; Eshell, by using the pcomplete package, provides a full
39 ;; programmable completion facility that is comparable to shells like
40 ;; tcsh or zsh.
41 ;;
42 ;; Completions are context-sensitive, which means that pressing <TAB>
43 ;; after the command 'rmdir' will result in a list of directories,
44 ;; while doing so after 'rm' will result in a list of all file
45 ;; entries.
46 ;;
47 ;; Many builtin completion rules are provided, for commands such as
48 ;; `cvs', or RedHat's `rpm' utility. Adding new completion rules is
49 ;; no more difficult than writing a plain Lisp functions, and they can
50 ;; be debugged, profiled, and compiled using exactly the same
51 ;; facilities (since in fact, they *are* just Lisp functions). See
52 ;; the definition of the function `pcomplete/make' for an example of
53 ;; how to write a completion function.
54 ;;
55 ;; The completion facility is very easy to use. Just press TAB. If
56 ;; there are a large number of possible completions, a buffer will
57 ;; appear showing a list of them. Completions may be selected from
58 ;; that buffer using the mouse. If no completion is selected, and the
59 ;; user starts doing something else, the display buffer will
60 ;; automatically disappear.
61 ;;
62 ;; If the list of possible completions is very small, Eshell will
63 ;; "cycle" through them, selecting a different entry each time <TAB>
64 ;; is pressed. <S-TAB> may be used to cycle in the opposite
65 ;; direction.
66 ;;
67 ;; Glob patterns can also be cycled. For example, entering 'echo
68 ;; x*<tab>' will cycle through all the filenames beginning with 'x'.
69 ;; This is done because the glob list is treated as though it were a
70 ;; list of possible completions. Pressing <C-c SPC> will insert all
71 ;; of the matching glob patterns at point.
72 ;;
73 ;; If a Lisp form is being entered, <TAB> will complete the Lisp
74 ;; symbol name, in exactly the same way that <M-TAB> does in Emacs
75 ;; Lisp mode.
76 ;;
77 ;; The list of possible completions can be viewed at any point by
78 ;; pressing <M-?>.
79 ;;
80 ;; Finally, context-related help can be accessed by pressing <C-c i>.
81 ;; This only works well if the completion function has provided Eshell
82 ;; with sufficient pointers to locate the relevant help text.
