You are right. I think I've got your point. Here is the updated patch in which I added the multiple-character versions for backslash commands and remove their corresponding single-character version. Of course, for backslash commands with only single-character version, no change added. BTW, I've done the existing tap-tests for tab-completion with this patch, all tests passed. Regards, Tang
