tcsh
A filename to be completed can contain variables, your own or others’ home
directories abbreviated with ~ (tilde; see “Filename substitution” on page 643) and
directory stack entries abbreviated with = (equal; see “Directory stack substitution”
on page 644). For example:
> ls ~k[^D]
kahn kas kellogg
> ls ~ke[tab]
> ls ~kellogg/
or
> set local = /usr/local
> ls $lo[tab]
> ls $local/[^D]
bin/ etc/ lib/ man/ src/
> ls $local/
Variables can also be expanded explicitly with the expand-variables editor
command.
delete-char-or-list-or-eof only lists at the end of the line; in the middle of a line it
deletes the character under the cursor and on an empty line it logs one out or, if
ignoreeof is set, does nothing. M-^D, bound to the editor command list-choices,
lists completion possibilities anywhere on a line, and list-choices (or any one of the
related editor commands which do or don’t delete, list and/or log out, listed under
delete-char-or-list-or-eof) can be bound to ^D with the bindkey built-in command
if so desired.
The complete-word-fwd and complete-word-back editor commands (not bound to
any keys by default) can be used to cycle up and down through the list of possible
completions, replacing the current word with the next or previous word in the list.
The tcsh shell variable fignore can be set to a list of suffixes to be ignored by
completion. Consider the following:
> ls
Makefile condiments.h~ main.o side.c
README main.c meal side.o
condiments.h main.c~
> set fignore = (.o \~)
> emacs ma[^D]
main.c main.c~ main.o
> emacs ma[tab]
> emacs main.c
’main.c~’ and ’main.o’ are ignored by completion (but not listing), because they end
in suffixes in fignore. \ is needed in front of ~ to prevent it from being expanded to
home as described under “Filename substitution” on page 643. fignore is ignored if
only one completion is possible.
If the complete shell variable is set to enhance, completion: 1.) ignores case and
2.) considers periods, hyphens and underscores (’.’, ’-’ and ’_’) to be word
separators and hyphens and underscores to be equivalent.
