Hi
How would it work on Unix? I assume that the command-line program just
takes it's input "from the command line", so it doesn't get invoked
until after you've finished typing the command...
Unless this is a proposal to create a console version of hoogle, a bit
like ghci, which could take advantage of System.Console.Readline.
I do have something like that in the works (hoogli), but its not ready
for the world quite yet.
BTW, on Windows XP command line filename completion is enabled - just
use the Tab key. On NT4 and W2K you have to tweak the registry to switch
it on (and you can choose which key to use, if you don't like Tab).
Yes, I know command line completion works - but only for files, not
for anything else, and there is no way to make it work for other
things. However, I know that zsh can do funky things like
autocompleting ssh paths etc - and I think I remember seeing that
there was some way a program could tell zsh what it could autocomplete
to - but that is a hazy memory from a while ago.
Thanks
Neil
