Category: MSYS Group: None Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Orgad Shaneh (orgads) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Pressing Tab without input hangs Initial Comment: Open msys, press Tab. Nothing happens. Press some keys, still nothing happens. Press Ctrl+C. A new prompt will appear and the previously pressed keys will be displayed there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Orgad Shaneh (orgads) Date: 2012-11-06 05:17 Message: With bash 4.2.36 (debian wheezy) it doesn't offer completions at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Orgad Shaneh (orgads) Date: 2012-11-06 05:15 Message: I just tried with 3.2.25 on linux, it does offer completions, though only after pressing tab twice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2012-11-06 05:12 Message: May be a difference in bash version. May be a difference in the ~/.inputrc file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Orgad Shaneh (orgads) Date: 2012-11-06 05:10 Message: Well, on linux pressing tab (even twice) with empty input just does nothing. That's what I'd expect it to do... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Earnie Boyd (earnie) Date: 2012-11-06 05:07 Message: Using tab completion on the beginning of a line will search through all of PATH which is an expensive operation. Eventually it would have either aborted to to resource limitation or returned with a count of tens of thousands of possible entries and asked if you wanted to continue. Your pressing ctrl-c aborts the tab completion allowing the subsequent characters to then be echoed. This works as designed, no bug is in effect other than the bug of the user expectation of immediate response. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=202435&aid=3584657&group_id=2435 |
