Patch Level: 33
Release Status: release
Description:
readline does not work correcly when used in read -e. The following program
shows
that read -e does not perform history completion correctly.
---
#!/bin/bash
set -o emacs
bind 'set show-all-if-ambiguous on'
bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'
#bind TAB:menu-complete
bind 'TAB:dynamic-complete-history'
urls="http://example.com http://sample.net http://example.us
http://example.net";
for i in $urls ; do
history -s $i
done
echo $urls
compgen -W "$urls" http://sa
read -e -p "What? " arg1
---
previous-history and next-history works, but Tab completion only works for the
to the first instance. And dynamic-complete-history or show-all-if-ambiguous
do not work.
Repeat-By:
Run the above program. Hit Tab, note the partial completion to the first
ambiguous portion of the history. Type any letter to from the urls list to
disambiguate and hit Tab again. No additional completion occurs.
Also, try ^N or ^P to cycle through the history list. Then backspace,
and Tab to complete. Once again, Tab does not complete.
