Auto-completion of commands in $PATH (%PATH%)

Post by *now »

I'm mostly a UNIX guy, so I write $PATH when I mean %PATH% (or however it's expanded on Windows).

Auto-completion is really nice, but it would be even better if one could complete commands that are available in the $PATH (%PATH%). I guess it would add some complexity to the code, but I assume that the auto-completion code that figures out completion matches for the current directory could be made to go through the directories in $PATH (%PATH%).

Also, it would be great if command aliases were auto-completed as well.

I guess this may be seen as more of a feature request, but I expected this to work, so I was a bit startled and thought that it was a bug before I got to the documentation. Please feel free to move it off this forum if it was inappropriately posted and accept my humblest apologies for creating extra work for you people. I promise to learn from my mistake, if, in fact, I've committed one.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
