32.4.6 Letting Readline Type For You
complete (TAB)
- Attempt to perform completion on the text before point. The actual completion performed is application-specific. The default is filename completion.
possible-completions (M-?)
- List the possible completions of the text before point. When displaying completions, Readline sets the number of columns used for display to the value of
completion-display-width
, the value of the environment variableCOLUMNS
, or the screen width, in that order. insert-completions (M-*)
- Insert all completions of the text before point that would have been generated by
possible-completions
. menu-complete ()
- Similar to
complete
, but replaces the word to be completed with a single match from the list of possible completions. Repeated execution ofmenu-complete
steps through the list of possible completions, inserting each match in turn. At the end of the list of completions, the bell is rung (subject to the setting ofbell-style
) and the original text is restored. An argument ofn
movesn
positions forward in the list of matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward through the list. This command is intended to be bound toTAB
, but is unbound by default. menu-complete-backward ()
- Identical to
menu-complete
, but moves backward through the list of possible completions, as ifmenu-complete
had been given a negative argument. delete-char-or-list ()
- Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning or end of the line (like
delete-char
). If at the end of the line, behaves identically topossible-completions
. This command is unbound by default.
