Subject: Auto-insertion of quotes when completing
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 11:44:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cf7bbda90506150244405e0ec0@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm writing a completion for xmms that allows me to complete among all
my music files from the command line. The script that invokes xmms is
called mu, and is used like this:
mu Foo<TAB> -> mu Fooband\ -\ B<TAB> -> mu Fooband\ -\ Barsong
I often prefer to quote the argument to mu, because it looks better
and makes it easier to chose among files whose names contain funny
characters. That is:
mu "Foo<TAB> -> mu "Fooband - B<TAB> -> mu "Fooband - Barsong"
(I chose " instead of ' since ' is a more common character in my
files' names, and \" looks better than '\'' anyway)
I was wondering if there is some way to have the completion
automatically quoted when I first press tab, so that the following
would work:
mu Foo<TAB> -> mu "Fooband - B<TAB> -> etc.
The normal auto-quoting of " when pressing tab should of course still
apply, so the following should be handled correctly:
mu Thi<TAB> -> mu "This song's name has a \" in it"
Is there some (easy) way to do this?
Ulf
