Start `emacs -Q` (make the window full screen height, 80 columns wide) M-x shell RET (in the shell buffer) $ cd /tmp $ mkdir foo $ cd foo $ touch aa.txt ab.txt cc.txt dd.txt ee.txt ff.txt gg.txt hh.txt ii.txt jj.txt kk.txt ll.txt mm.txt nn.txt oo.txt pp.txt qq.txt rr.txt ss.txt tt.txt uu.txt vv.txt ww.txt xx.txt yy.txt zz.txt $ ls -l $ ls -l (this is just to fill the buffer with output. now your shell prompt should be the last line at the bottom of the frame, if not, hit C-l a few times until it is.) $ cat a<TAB> With `(setq split-window-keep-point t)` you will see the window split, with the top window scrolled to leave point just after the `a` in the middle of the window. The bottom window will have the completions for aa.txt and ab.txt With `(setq split-window-keep-point nil)` you will not get any window split, but point will jump someplace higher up in the window (e.g. for me it jumps to just after the gg.txt line).
