Reading and changing CIW input line

PatrikOsgnach

Hello,

are there any functions that allows me to know what is currently typed on the input line of CIW and change it, eventually? My goal is to write an autocompletion script.

As an example, if I type 'a' and press Ctrl+Up I want the input line to be substituted with the latest line that begins with an 'a' character.

Best regards,

Patrik

  • Hello Amit,

    think about what happens in a shell if I bind the up key to "history-search-backward". I type a string and, when I press the up key, the shell tries to autocomplete it by looking in the history for commands that begin with that string. I want to replicate this behaviour in the CIW. Currently, if I press the up key in the CIW, it will scan all the commands in the history. So, I need a function that tells me what the user has typed so far in the input line of the CIW before pressing the enter key
