From: Rufus Segar <rhs <at> riseup.net> To: 76817 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#76817: 30.1; completion-preview and shell Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2025 16:38:11 +0000
It appears that completion-preview-mode is not quite working as intended
with shell. When inserting path completions it inserts a trailing space.
An example will show why this is undesirable:
Say I want to complete path `~/foobar/baz'. I start with `cd ~/foob` and
completion-preview successfully completes the 'foobar' portion. However,
after I do completion-preview-insert I'm left with the following:
"cd ~/foobar/ "
^-- Notice the trailing space
This means that if I want to continue completing my path all the way to
'~/foobar/baz', I have to delete that trailing space. completion-preview
should not leave a trailing space, and if possible immediately continue
completing the path, so that in this case I'm given '~/foobar/baz' as my
next completion candidate and can simply call completion-preview-insert
again to get the full path.
P.S. I'm loving completion-preview-mode by the way, I can tell that a
lot of care was put into this mode. I'm looking forward to this issue
being resolved so that I can use it in my shell too.

I have tested this with `emacs -q` and have observed the same behavior.
