Is there any way to "cancel" completion, when meny completion is active? The
possible meaning of "cancel" can be
- remove anything that was inserted by completion code and restore the
original string
- remove the part of word being completed (possibly ignoring IPREFIX)
To illustrate the latter: suppose you complete
dd if=/a/b/c
and after menu completion has started, you found, it was somewhat wrong :-)
So, I'd like to remove anything that was inserted but leave ``dd if='' in
place.
Just musing ...

Are you forgetting "undo" (Ctrl-_)? Or are you wanting to get
rid of all the completion changes that may have occurred with
one keystroke (instead of having to undo multiple times)?

Holy Wayne! Is it in a FAQ?

Not yet. We have this `discussion' (well, at least we mentioned it
already) about giving information about the `current' state to
completion widgets. I.e. information like `there is already a se of
matches', `the matches are listed', etc. Then we would like to have a
way to say what should be done with this list (`ignore it, build a new
one', `use it, but do ... next', etc). Anyone who wants to think about
this is welcome.
For further information, see 5479, 5501, 5551 and probably others I
have forgotten.
Bye
Sven
