Hi Ron, tab completion is controlled by the cmd.auto_arg variable, which is a list of dictionaries.
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/auto_arg For all arguments which do not have an entry in auto_arg, the default is to auto-complete file names. For your purpose you need to define something like this: python import glob cmd.auto_arg[0]['save'] = [ lambda: cmd.Shortcut(cmd.get_names() + glob.glob('*')), 'filename or object name', ''] python end Cheers, Thomas Ron Jacak wrote, On 10/17/12 22:25: > PyMOL-users, > > I'm wondering if there's a way to make the tab completion engine use > the currently loaded (or visible) object names rather than (or in > addition to) the files in the filesystem?
