There’s something that I now want, and I’m not sure which list to add it to. Following a discussion with William Hatch about shell usage in Racket, what I think I really want is auto-completion of filenames in DrRacket, probably using a pop-up. That is: I type a string containing a path fragment, and then I hit, say, C-c C-r or some other unused combination (ha!), and I get a dialog that will allow me with a small number of keystrokes to auto-complete to the filename that I’m looking for. Should be not-too-impossible. If I get a spare ten hours, I’d love to do it myself… Which list should I add this to?
