yeah, i get that too. > Ideally, the pager should still show at the bottom the fish prompt > with the command being edited, i like that too, but for a different reason: the commandline provides the context for the display of the completion list. without it the list is like all by itself, and when i juggle multiple terminals at once, or even just browse a longer list, i sometimes forget what command i was typing. then i get out of the pager, typing q<backspace> ;-) just to take a look. and while we are talking about the pager, there is a small thing that keeps irritating me: the x to y of z counts lines, but i think it would be more practical if it counted items, so that if there are two columns it would say 1 to 46 of 120 completions, instead of 1 to 23 of 60 lines. i think that would still give the same current information, namely what part and how much of the completions are visible, but the other form would also give the total number of completions as aditional info, which can be useful to eg see how many files are in a directory... greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling community.gotpike.org unix system- iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at open-steam.org administrator caudium.org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
