Does anyone know how to enable completion for filenames (and if possible commands/programs) in ksh93 ?
Under pdksh based stuff (I don't have ksh88 anywhere so I can't check), the usual procedure that I use works fine:
Code:
set -o emacs
bind "^I=complete"
bind "^I=complete-command"
bind "^I=complete-file"
Which are a mixture of Scottro's
ksh page and "playful" looking around
obsd$ bind | $PAGER
for the sake of completeness. But when using the shells/ksh93 port on FreeBSD, I was a tad shocked when ksh93 didn't understand the bind:
Code:
Terry@dixie$ ENV=~/.{$USER}_shrc 7:46
Terry@dixie$ SHELL=`which ksh93` 7:46
Terry@dixie$ ksh93 -l 7:47
/usr/home/Terry/.Terry_shrc[72]: bind: not found [No such file or directory]
/usr/home/Terry/.Terry_shrc[73]: bind: not found [No such file or directory]
/usr/home/Terry/.Terry_shrc[74]: bind: not found [No such file or directory]

The bind command not being found (of course) are from the aforementioned bind commands for '^complete.*' directives in my $ENV file. I didn't see completion in the manual page for ksh93 and the 'esc esc' mentioned in the FAQ doesn't work/help. The manual page is fairly large and generally well done, so I reckon I could've missed it, but I don't think so. Any one hit this before, and solved it?
