Pitrou,
I think you are right on "On the other hand, it will appear quite bizarre to
people who have another, dedicated key for auto-completion." If I assign
another key for auto-completion, the behavior becomes really strange. It
happens in ipython too.
But I guess most people just use tab as the default key for auto-completion,
and the readline module document say:"
get_begidx( )
Get the beginning index of the readline tab-completion scope.
get_endidx( )
Get the ending index of the readline tab-completion scope.
set_completer_delims( string)
Set the readline word delimiters for tab-completion.
get_completer_delims( )
Get the readline word delimiters for tab-completion.
"
And now, I think the problem becomes:convenience for the majority or protection
for the minority. If we decide to protect the minority, I think I can submit
another patch for the readline module document, to make the document constant,
so, the document looks like:
get_endidx( )
Get the ending index of the readline auto-completion scope.
PS: Is there a way to find out the current key-binding on auto-completion? If
we can find this, I think we can "if else" this behavior to satisfy everybody.
