XMonad.Promp.Shell matching function

I would like shellPrompt to match anywhere in the command, not only from the beginning. E.g. if I have a command called "run_icesocial", I would like that to appear if I type "icesoc", rather than having to type "run_" first. It looks like XMonad.Prompt.Shell.commandCompletionFunction is the function to modify: commandCompletionFunction :: [String] -> String -> [String] commandCompletionFunction cmds str | '/' `elem` str = [] | otherwise = filter (isPrefixOf str) cmds Changing isPrefixOf to isInfixOf I would guess - does that sound right? Is there an easy way to "override" that function from my xmonad.hs? If not, would it be reasonable to make it configurable, so e.g. you could put in a fuzzy matching function, or something even weirder? (I'll give that a go, if so.)

This already exists (thanks, Google, for not finding the latest code), just put: , searchPredicate = isInfixOf in the XPconfig. Great! Adam -- "Det er jo bare punk, forklædt som Bubbers badekar!" Adam Sjøgren asjo@koldfront.dk
