Re: not autocompleting

Hi all, just to confirm

complete -o filenames -d -F _ooexp_ oocalc

did the job

Many thanks, M

 Ah, you mean for hidden directories.

 For those I neither get the autocomplete when using OOo applications
 (oowriter, oocalc...), though it works with the usual bash built-in
 tools
 (e.g., cat .th[tab] → it does autocomplete).

 Not sure if this behaviour can be tweaked :-?


 curty@einstein:/etc$ complete -p | grep oocalc
 complete -o filenames -d -X '.[^./]*' -F _ooexp_ oocalc

 If I only knew what that meant!


 The -X option's value excludes entries that begin with a dot from the
 completion list.  I don't know why it is done this way, but changing
 it is easy.  The lines printed by complete -p are actual bash builtin
 command lines, that you can edit and run.

 So just run this:

 complete -o filenames -d -F _ooexp_ oocalc

 and bash will now show files starting with . when completing (You
 can do similar things for the other OO commands).  For permanence, add
 this line to your .bashrc after /etc/bash_completion is sourced, to
 override whatever it does.

 I'm too lazy to track down why the -X exclusion is being used.  There
 might be good reasons for that.

  Completion is implemented in the file /etc/bash_completion
  New completion commands may be placed inside the directory
  /etc/bash_completion.d
  We can list all the current completion routines bound via complete -p

  What's the output of complete -p | grep oocalc? I get:

  Hi Camaleon
 
  Mine looks same?
 
  mkb@amd64:~$ complete -p |grep oocalc
  complete -o filenames -d -X '.[^./]*' -F _ooexp_ oocalc

 It looks okay.

 How about your alias? Do you have something fancy added that can be
 interferring with autocomplete? Are you experiencing the problem when
 you login with a different user? Does the same happen for all of the
 OOo applications (oowriter, oodraw, ooimpres...)?


Hi folks with apologies for being busy elsewhere...

The problem for oocalc is when the directory begins with a dot (.) and
partially given, eg

oocalc .per[TAB] won't auto-complete

but

oocalc time[TAB] will auto-complete

Same applies to oowriter

Thanks, Michael

 Is it only failing for a specific set of filenames (OOo)?

 If so, there has to be a file at /etc/bash_completion.d/**ooffice.sh
 for
 that purpose, installed by openoffice.org-common package.




That file exists, yes


 Otherwise, if completion is not working at all, chances are that during
 upgrade your /etc/bash.bashrc was overwritten/changed so that the
 completion part was commented out (I think that is the default on vanilla
 installs?).
 Have a look at /etc/bash.bashrc and search for a comment:

 # enable bash completion in interactive shells

 and uncomment the lines just after it.

 That does appear to be anywhere but if I source it I still have the
problem.

Clarification of the problem: if I do
 ls .perTAB
it completes the directory (.personal)
but if I try
 oocalc .perTAB
it doesn't complete.
If I try other commands, eg
  emacs .perTAB
they seem to complete okay

Thanks, M
