If you type in nothing more and insist by using `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-complete</code></font>' (`<font color="#82140F"><kbd>M-tab</kbd></font>') again, gri-mode will respond by showing all possible completions in the `<font color="#82140F"><samp>*completions*</samp></font>' buffer. In this way you can use `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-complete</code></font>' word-by-word to abbreviate commands without ever displaying completions, like you would for file completion in emacs or bash. <p> If a completion is ambiguous, but could be exact, invoke gri-complete a second time to complete it. e.g. <p> <TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <PRE> <font color="#82140F"> sh`<font color="#82140F"><kbd>M-tab</kbd></font>' </font></PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> expands to <p> <TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <PRE> <font color="#82140F"> show </font></PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> and informs you that 12 possible completions exists; then <p> <TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <PRE> <font color="#82140F"> show`<font color="#82140F"><kbd>M-tab</kbd></font>' </font></PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> will display these completions in the completions buffer; then typing `<font color="#82140F"><kbd>M-tab</kbd></font>' again forces completion to a complete but not unique possibility: <p> <TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <PRE> <font color="#82140F"> show .value.|{rpn ...}|"\text" [.value.|{rpn ...}|text [...]] </font></PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> Completions are shown immediately (without invoking gri-complete again) if the completions window is already displayed or if there are 3 possibilities or less. In this case they are displayed in the minibuffer. <p> Note: The `<font color="#82140F"><samp>*completions*</samp></font>' window is deleted after a command is fully completed. `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-complete</code></font>' uses its own `<font color="#82140F"><samp>*completions*</samp></font>' buffer, which is not displayed in the buffer-list to avoid clutter. <p> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
