Subject: Completion of two items separated by a dash
Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2018 15:40:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ph3dem$hod$1@blaine.gmane.org> (raw)

I am trying to write a completion function for a command that takes two 
items separated by a dash, and the second item depends on the first. 
For example, suppose possible full completions were:

foo-bar
foo-baz
abc-def
abc-xyz

Ideally, the completion function would first present options "foo" and 
"abc", then after the user chooses one it inserts the "-', and when you 
hit tab again it presents either "bar" and "baz" or "def" and "xyz".

For this simple example I could just show all four, but in real life 
there are many first items and many second items and the list would be huge.

I have written some simple completions before, but this has me stumped. 
Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Scott
