| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><code>complete (<span class="key">TAB</span>)</code> |
| <a name="index-complete-_0028TAB_0029"></a> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><p>Attempt to perform completion on the text before point. |
| The actual completion performed is application-specific. |
| The default is filename completion. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>possible-completions (M-?)</code> |
| <a name="index-possible_002dcompletions-_0028M_002d_003f_0029"></a> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><p>List the possible completions of the text before point. |
| When displaying completions, Readline sets the number of columns used |
| for display to the value of <code>completion-display-width</code>, the value of |
| the environment variable <code>COLUMNS</code>, or the screen width, in that order. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>insert-completions (M-*)</code> |
| <a name="index-insert_002dcompletions-_0028M_002d_002a_0029"></a> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><p>Insert all completions of the text before point that would have |
| been generated by <code>possible-completions</code>. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>menu-complete ()</code> |
| <a name="index-menu_002dcomplete-_0028_0029"></a> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><p>Similar to <code>complete</code>, but replaces the word to be completed |
| with a single match from the list of possible completions. |
| Repeated execution of <code>menu-complete</code> steps through the list |
| of possible completions, inserting each match in turn. |
| At the end of the list of completions, the bell is rung |
| (subject to the setting of <code>bell-style</code>) |
| and the original text is restored. |
| An argument of <var>n</var> moves <var>n</var> positions forward in the list |
| of matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward |
| through the list. |
| This command is intended to be bound to <tt class="key">TAB</tt>, but is unbound |
| by default. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>menu-complete-backward ()</code> |
| <a name="index-menu_002dcomplete_002dbackward-_0028_0029"></a> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><p>Identical to <code>menu-complete</code>, but moves backward through the list |
| of possible completions, as if <code>menu-complete</code> had been given a |
| negative argument. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><code>delete-char-or-list ()</code> |
| <a name="index-delete_002dchar_002dor_002dlist-_0028_0029"></a> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><p>Deletes the character under the cursor if not at the beginning or |
| end of the line (like <code>delete-char</code>). |
| If at the end of the line, behaves identically to |
| <code>possible-completions</code>. |
| This command is unbound by default. |
