Hi,
Is it possible to have ShellPrompt complete like dmenu does? For example if I type "fire" it should also show mozilla-firefox and not only everything starting with fire... .
Hi, there is a huge difference between dmenu and ShellPrompt, afaik: ShellPrompt gets the completions from bash (or readline in version 0.3), whereas in demnu you need to provide them when launching dmenu, right? Now, having ShellPrompt complete "mozilla-firefox" for "fire" requires loading ALL binaries' names present in you path and search them. While feasible I think it would be just too much resource consuming. BTW you can try it yourself. Attached there's a version of ShellPrompt that does what you want (it doesn't require readline): give it a try and, please, report back you impressions. Andrea
