Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/comint.el.gz
;;; Filename/command/history completion in a buffer
;;============================================================================
;; Useful completion functions, courtesy of the Ergo group.

;; Six commands:
;; completion-at-point		Complete or expand command, filename,
;;                                     history at point.
;; comint-dynamic-complete-filename	Complete filename at point.
;; comint-dynamic-list-filename-completions List completions in help buffer.
;; comint-replace-by-expanded-filename	Expand and complete filename at point;
;;					replace with expanded/completed name.

;; These are not installed in the comint-mode keymap.  But they are
;; available for people who want them.  Shell-mode installs them:
;; (define-key shell-mode-map "\t" 'completion-at-point)
;; (define-key shell-mode-map "\M-?"
;;             'comint-dynamic-list-filename-completions)))
;;
;; Commands like this are fine things to put in load hooks if you
;; want them present in specific modes.
