Hello Stefan,
Thank you for adding more features to completion.
I have started using this completion-cycle-threshold. Incidentally I
have written a pcompletion for git and I have this function:
;; (pcmpl-git-string-lessp "word" "word-") ; => nil
;; (pcmpl-git-string-lessp "words" "word-") ; => t
(defun pcmpl-git-string-lessp (s1 s2)
"Compare strings S1 and S2 but treat '-' specially."
(let ((res (compare-strings s1 0 nil s2 0 nil))
c1 c2)
(if (eq res t) (setq res 0))
(ignore-errors
;; the following setq could trigger errors
(setq c1 (aref s1 (1- (abs res)))
c2 (aref s2 (1- (abs res))))
(if (or (= c1 ?-) (= c2 ?-)) (setq res (- res))))
(if (> res 0) nil t)))
to address the sorting of things like:
remote
remote-ftp
remote-ftps
remote-http
remote-https
i.e. when I 'git rem<TAB>' I want to see remote first before seeing the
rest.
The current completion cycle has this issue, for example, assume there
are two possible completions 'feature' and 'feature-old', feature-old is
seen first. This is counter-intuitive to the behaviour without
completion cycle.
Best wishes,
Leo
