Subject: substring version of history-complete-word?
Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2002 12:45:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020704124507.A32123@corelli.new.ox.ac.uk> (raw)
Hi all,
Is there any way of performing completion of words from history based
on a substring rather than a prefix? For example, if the word
`/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt' is in the
history, I would like to be able to retrieve it by referring to it as
`Doc' or `2.4'. Ideally, it would be retrievable incrementally in the
same way as C-r fetches whole lines. Incidentally, as some of you may
have already guessed, the inspiration for this is iswitchb
buffer-switching in emacs.
Adam
