BASH complete-filename & menu-complete together
Hi,
Does anyone know how to make BASH provide a list of possible completions on the first tab, and then start cycling through the possibilites on the next tab?
Right now this is what I have in my .bashrc:
bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on"
bind \\C-o:menu-complete
This allows file-name completion on the first TAB and cycling through the names using CTRL-o, but if I try to assign
menu_complete to TAB, then it overrides the file-complete mode and no longer shows the list of files first.
(BTW, this is the default filename completion behaviour in ZSH. I'm trying to replicate it in BASH).
Thanks,
Mithu

Hi,
In the archives I found this:
And this works fine.
$if mode=vi
"\C-0-": digit-argument
TAB: menu-complete
"\e
But what I want is to reverse this. So I want that tab does reverse menu completion and shift tab does normal menu completion.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks (0 Replies)

imediff2
IMEDIFF2(1) IMEDIFF2(1)
NAME
imediff2 - An interactive fullscreen 2-way merge tool
SYNOPSIS
imediff2 [-m] [-u] [-a] [-b] [-c] [-N new-file] [-o outputfile] {file1} {file2}
DESCRIPTION
Merge two (slightly different) files interactively with a user friendly fullscreen interface in text mode.
Imediff2 shows the differences of given two files (in color if the terminal supports them), lets you scroll the file and toggle changes be-
tween old and new version one by one. If the 'unresolved' mode is enabled, you can optionally save both versions.
Additionally, if the $EDITOR environment variable is set or if /usr/bin/editor exists and is executable, you can also launch an external
editor and manually edit the half-merged file before saving it, perhaps to resolve the 'unresolved' parts.
Empty lines are shown in reverse colors so you see that you can select them. If a line is missing completely from one file, imediff2 dis-
plays it as a reversed '?'. While it seems to take one line in the editing phase, it is naturally not saved into the output file.
To see a list of keyboard commands, hit h or ? in the editor.
The program exits with status 0 if the changes were saved, 1 if the merging was aborted and 2 if the parameters were invalid.
OPTIONS
-o outputfile, --output=outputfile
Write output to given file. If missing, changes will not be saved.
-N, --new-file
Treat absent files as empty.
-m, --mono
Force monochrome display.
-u, --unresolved
Enable 'unresolved' mode (see above).
-a Start with version A (default).
-b Start with version B.
-c Start with unresolved changes (implies -u).
-h, --help
Show summary of options and exit.
-V, --version
Show version and exit.
KEYBOARD COMMANDS
The following keyboard commands are available in the editor.
h, ? Show commands.
