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 -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
