If I remember correctly (Big if, my memory is terrible) Philip suggested this a long time ago. I though it was a great idea then, and I still do. Not trivial to implement, but I'll get to it in time. I hope. As to differentiating between non-existing commands and commands that are a prefix of an existing command, I failt to see when this is useful information. If you are unsure of it, why not press tab and see all possible completions? Aside from the lack of relevance, I also think it is confusing. The current highligting uses green (everything is ok) and red (error, bad, christmas). I think you can simply look at the highlighting and guess what it means. A third color would remove that advantage, IMO. > -- > http://members.dodo.com.au/~netocrat > > -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
