Summary: mutt completion: file names instead of mailboxes
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: #312760
Initial Comment:
I can confirm this behaviour!
PART 1, workaround:
After reading parts of the source code I managed to use bash_completion for
mutt. The following modifications have to be done:
1.)
Mutt uses '=' and '+' as synonyms for the users mail directory. Make sure the
character you use is not in $COMP_WORDBREAKS. According to the source code you
remove '=' and/or '+' from $COMP_WORDBREAKS by putting
'COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//=}' and/or
'COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//+}' in your local .bashrc or the system
/etc/bash.bashrc file.
2.)
The leading '=' or '+' character now disappears when pressing <TAB>. Keep the
leading character in place by editing line 128 in /etc/bash_completion.d/mutt,
part of _muttfiledir():
original line: COMPREPLY=( ${COMPREPLY[@]/#$folder\//=} )
new line: COMPREPLY=( ${COMPREPLY[@]/#$folder\//${cur:0:1}} )
PART 2: more description:
The following holds when '=' and '+' are part of $COMP_WORDBREAKS.
Line 301 of file /etc/bash_completion, part of
__reassemble_comp_words_by_ref(), is not doing fine:
---snip line 301---
[ $j -ge 2 ] && ((j--))
---snip---
This line tears together the '-f' option from "mutt -f =xy<TAB>" with the
following argument '=xy'. As a consequence no hits can be found anymore. The
given example 'mutt -f =xy<TAB>' needs '[ $j -ge 3 ]' for successful
completion. In case we use more option like in 'mutt -R -f =xy<TAB>', '[ $j -ge
4 ]' is right.
Last not least, the static '[ $j -ge .. ]' - test keeps bash_completion from
expanding filenames with a '=' or '+' character in its name.
I hope this is helpful,
Christian
My system: mostly Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1 (squeeze), bash 4.1-3, bash-completion
1:1.3-1
