--//-- Good evening, dear all! Here is the mechanism that implements this: https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/b619852086ed2b5df76631f5678f60d3bebd3745/src/bin/psql/tab-complete.h . . . 1673 /* Match the last N words before point, case-sensitively. */ 1674 #define TailMatchesCS(...) \ 1675 TailMatchesImpl(true, previous_words_count, previous_words, \ 1676 VA_ARGS_NARGS(__VA_ARGS__), __VA_ARGS__) . . . 4824 else if (TailMatchesCS("\\ds*")) 4825 COMPLETE_WITH_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_sequences); . . . There is a rather large list of meta-commands that are handled by TailMatchesCS(...). For example: \ENCODING<TAB> autocompletes to \encoding \eNcOdInG<TAB> autocompletes to \encoding \dU<TAB> or \DU<TAB> autocompletes to \du Including the command under discussion: \CONNINFO<TAB> autocompletes to \conninfo For the meta-commands[+], there is no autocomplete. Regards, Maiquel Grassi.
