Re: [GRASS-user] readline completion under bash

I can't find anything on readline (besides the configure option) in the html docs and I'm left wondering how to get this working under bash. Is readline completion available in the svn source compiled-in readline support is only used with r.mapcalc. or do I need an add-on? as above. I don't know if it will work with GRASS 6, maybe a keen user might like to update it. tab-completion for mapname and column names would be cool.

I have a little workaround for that: I put the name of the base dataset in a temporary variable. for example: r=demOfMyRegionVersion2beta_20080919 g.region rast=$r d.rast $r Not quite command-line completion, but it saves me some typing. cheers, \flo. ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
