Re: Regroup/Tab Tab program/command line editing
Thanks everyone for the info about tab completion. I've used that from
time to time myself but this is getting away from my original message.
I get 'tab completion' when I use the Esc key. I'm happy to leave tab
completion bound to the tab key but how do I turn this off when using
the Esc key? This screws up my Emacs-mode command editing when I use an
Esc-<key> twice. This results in a tab completion spitting out all
available commands. I don't want to use a different shell.
Thanks,
kent
