Package: bash Version: 3.1-2 Severity: normal `shopt -s no_empty_cmd_completion' allows us to paste in segments of bash scripts with indenting via X's copy buffer, without erronously triggering bash completion.
However, it only works if we use either tabs or spaces exclusively in the scripts being copied. If a line being pasted contains a bunch of spaces, then a tab, then completion is attempted on all ~4000 items in one's PATH. Spaces alone should hence be treated as an empty readline buffer for the purposes of no_empty_cmd_completion. Alternatively, if it is at all possible to detect that the contents of a copy buffer are being pasted into bash (via either shift-insert, or the middle mouse button), then bash should have the option to turn off completion all together, for the duration of the copy. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.1 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.9 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.15.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
