color terminal and tab completion?
hello,
i'm a linux zealot (fedora), so i know a some about unix. the company i work for uses HP-UX though and there are a few quirks i'd like smooth out by making them work more like my beloved redhat type systems...=)
right now they have all users using ksh and completion is done by hitting Esc twice. is there any way to make a single press of the Tab key do completion? or is this a shell thing and my best bet is to get them to install bash?
also, when i work on the HP-UX machines, i usually telnet in from my fedora linux machine (using Konsole). i notice there is no color. i'm a developer and i heavily rely on vim's color syntax highlighting when coding. is there any way to get colors working?
thanks for the help.

Is it possible to set up my .cshrc so that a single tab attempts to autocomplete, while a double tab gives a list of all possible options. In other words, I want it to work like bash in this regard.

I really like tcsh's:
set completion='enhanced'
because it treats underscores and dash signs the same. I don't have to reach for the shift key when trying to complete files that have underscores. As far as I know, there is nothing like this in bash.
Does such a thing exist in bash? If... (2 Replies)

I'm having a problem with tab completion at the bash command line.

int ncurses_init_color (int $color, int $r, int $g, int $b)
DESCRIPTION

change to the new definition.
Color capabilities must be supported by the terminal and initialized using ncurses_start_color(3) prior to calling this function. In addi-
tion, the terminal must have color changing capabilities; use ncurses_can_change_color(3) to check for this.

o $r
- A color value, between 0 and 1000, for the red component.
o $g
- A color value, between 0 and 1000, for the green component.
o $b
- A color value, between 0 and 1000, for the blue component.
RETURN VALUES
Returns -1 if the function was successful, and 0 if ncurses or terminal color capabilities have not been initialized or the terminal does
not have color changing capabilities.
