When I auo complete "abc" in emacs and there are two matches abcdef and abcghi, both are shown of course but the end of the common prefix 'c' is highlighted, which makes it easy for the eyes to choose next. Can we do that in readline too? I had a quick look at the source code and I think rl_complete_internal() could be modified to do that, even if it's applicable for filename completion only, but not entirely sure. My goal is to make bash highlight it when I autocomplete long file names. -- Duy
