April, all, what are the plans for implementing/integrating
1) the avoidance of stty erase <backspace> for certain terminal types (i.e. backspace will always erase the character left of the cursor) 2) a second way of file name completion (an unnumbered list or files) if <tab> finds more than one matching entry, similar to the bash way of doing it. With the unnumbered list, when adding consecutive characters, they are just appended to the initial characters until just one file matches (this is how bash does it). Currently, ksh93 displays a numbered list only, and you have to type in the matching number to expand (which is not bad, but sometimes, the bash way is faster: E.g. when there are more than 10 files listed, but when entering just one more character, only one file matches), plus a lot of people are used to it). BTW I tried this with emacs and with viraw mode. ? This would help to get better acceptance from former bash users, IMHO.
