I am trying out programmable completion following the tab completion TIP at gentoo-wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_TAB-completion Things mostly work as expected.
I also turned on programmable completion for bash using shopt -s progcomp My question: how does the tab completion determine "suitable filetypes"? for example: [07:32 PM]wwong TESTaudio $ ls test test.m4v test.mpg test.pl test.sh test.wav test.jpg test.mp3 test.pdf test.ps test.txt [07:32 PM]wwong TESTaudio $ vim test test test.pdf test.ps test.txt test.m4v test.pl test.sh test.wav [07:32 PM]wwong TESTaudio $ mplayer test. test.mp3 test.mpg test.ps test.wav [07:32 PM]wwong TESTaudio $ gv test.p test.pdf test.ps [07:32 PM]wwong TESTaudio $ acroread test.pdf [07:32 PM]wwong TESTaudio $ qiv test.jpg I hit double tab after the vim, mplayer, and gv commands, and single tab after acroread and qiv. For example, I want to also make mplayer be associated to m4v, a format it can play, and not ps, a format I doubt mplayer deals with. Does anyone know how to make that association?
