Re: help adding some features to 5.1
Just for me :) I know my productivity will be higher. Eventually I'll do a YouTube video on it. If we see enough adoption, we can consider rolling them in. !$ picking up & from the previous command really is a no no :) On Wed, Sep 1, 2021 at 6:36 PM Lawrence Velázquez wrote: > On Wed, Sep 1, 2021, at 8:20 PM, Ananth Chellappa wrote: > > I hope I can make a genuine contribution at some point. > > If you're hoping/planning on getting these changes accepted into > bash, it might be worth hashing out details with Chet before expending > your time and energy.

Thanks Sincerely Chet. I hope I can make a genuine contribution at some point.

help adding some features to 5.1
Hi Team, Could I get some help locating portions of the code that would need to be tweaked to add these features? If I had the time, I would love to get to know the code, but I have too much going on in my real job. 1. Intelligent support for !$ (and related - like !2$, !-N, etc) : This means - ignore the & at the end of the previous command. 2. Autocomplete for !$ (and related tokens) : This means - if I have typed !$ and now press TAB, I want the last word from the previous command substituted on the command-line immediately. Thanks sincerely, Ananth
