currently the ^F pathname completion is handled internally by Acme. is there a
way to pass the argument of ^F to a script instead?
my use case: find an existing pathname by supplying /any/ substring of it and
invoking completion, as opposed to current requirement of providing whole
leading part. i have a script that takes part of pathname in $1 and returns
all (hopefully exactly one) matching pathnames, and i want to plumb the ^F
from Acme to it.

Source code says: no.
Check out line 725* in text.c, and begin your journey!
*Code at line 725 in text.c for 9front acme:
case 0x06:
case Kins: //interesting, didn't know you could use the insert key to
invoke this too.
rp = textcomplete(t); //the path completion
if(rp == nil)
return;
nr = runestrlen(rp);
break; /* fall through to normal insertion case */

nothing prevents textcomplete from forking.

Sorry, I mean it is not possible without having to change some source code.

Yep. That way it is hard :)
Although i think you could do it with acid without changing code.
If you are masochistic.

I'm on the side of saying have an outside program do it for everything (at least in 9front). It would make things like this much easier.
