I'm looking for something as simple as this:
func ()
{
code
cd $1 [TAB]
code
code
}
... so that I can automatically execute a completion within a function.
'vared' is a variable editor no? Does it do more than I think? Even
tho I've turned off all 'smart' expansion here, what would be cool is to
have it expand only directories and I'm betting I can zoom in on the
exact code to do that.
I presume Ray wants something like "complete ma", which would return
"make man ..." essentially everything that typing "ma<tab>" would
return.
Yeah, just that Filipe.
