Hi Charlie, The autosuggestion tries to be smart.
If your command prefixes a history item, that's used as the suggestion. Except that, when you run a command, it remembers which arguments are valid file paths (possibly relative), and only suggests that command if those paths are still valid. If there is no suggestion from history, it uses the same algorithm as tab-completions, except that it cannot expand subcommands, because it would be too slow. Also, 'cd' commands are handled specially, whether from history or completions. Regarding spell checking, at first blush, I think it might be OK as long as it's unobtrusive and doesn't do anything modal. It would be very bad to put up a prompt that you have to dismiss by typing Y or N. Also remember that fish has syntax highlighting and shows invalid commands in red, which is a form of spelling suggestions too. _fish On Dec 5, 2012, at 9:42 AM, charlie <charlie.m.sand...@gmail.com> wrote: > How is the word completion determined, is it just the last command entered or > is it weighted somehow by history usage ? > > And different topic, what would you think about adding spelling suggestions > to mistyped commands, some sort of 'did you mean X ? hit y to run this > command' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
