> Ping, looking for OKs. I'm not going to even read the patch. I consider autocompletion vastly overengineered and my opinion is that it ought to be radically simplified. For example, never do autocompletion if there is any character in the word that is neither alnum nor '/', '.', or '_'. Yes, that implies never doing autocompletion in words containing non-ASCII characters. In my opinion, autocompletion is a feature where KISS is even more important than elsewhere. I *REALLY* don't want to end up in a position where something as bells-and-whistle-like and as utterly unimportant as autocompletion causes any serious bug, least of all in a program as critical as the shell. That said, if others want to OK it, i won't oppose a commit. If somebody sends diffs to simplify autocompletion code, i *will* read them. Yours, Ingo
