When changing mailboxes, the tabbing feature that tries to autocomplete
mailbox filenames got altered. Let's say I have the following mailboxes:
~/Mail/foo
~/Mail/foobar
~/Mail/food
I press 'c' to change mailboxes and type in "+fo" then TAB.
In 1.2.x, the autocompletion feature expands to "+foo". I press TAB
again to show all the mailboxes above as they match "+foo".
In 1.4, the autocompletion feature expands to "+foo". I press TAB two
more times to show all the matching mailboxes. That's three TABs. But
if I start with "+foo" and press TAB twice, it lists all the matching
mailboxes, like the 1.2.x behavior.
The 1.2.x behavior of pressing TAB twice is guaranteed to list all the
matching mailboxes. However, the 1.4 behavior is not guaranteed, is not
predictable, and depends on whether the initially typed mailbox pattern
gets expanded. This is bad as I have a few macros that depend on the
guaranteed 1.2.x behavior of two TABs. I couldn't find anything in the
manual that defines the filename autocompletion behavior. Is there
anything that can be done to fix things? Or it's a feature, not a bug?
Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
