Well I think it should be
$ aptitude show google- --More--
or something.

That way the original command we have half typed would be revealed.

The original command? The one you just typed and completed? The one
you can see if you scroll your terminal window up a little bit?


It looks like we might have completed as far as
google-android-build-tools-

But in fact we have only got as far as
google-

What's the difference? Readline will complete to the longest unique prefix
anyway.


and the old-fashioned --More-- prompt isn't revealing more.

Should it?
