Use windows cmd tab completion?

[CarlosOnline]

Is it possible to modify clink TAB completion to work like windows TAB completion which cycles thru the different folder names when matching folder names?

For example:

1st TAB:
c:> Program --> c:\Program Files

2nd TAB:
c:> Program --> c:\Program Files (x86)

Yup. Read up on "menu completion" in Readline's manual and Clink's docs for the location of your clink_inputrc file.

Thanks, figured it out.

edited file: c:\Program Files (x86)\clink\0.4\clink_inputrc_base

I replaced:
"\t": clink-completion-shim

with:
TAB: menu-complete
"\t": menu-complete

and it now works.

This kind of works for me, but one thing missing is that SHIFT+TAB should cycle in the opposite direction.
Is it possible to configure it?
I know how to do it for example for CTRL+Q:
C-q: menu-complete-backward
But how to represent SHIFT+TAB?

[mridgers]

In the current version of Clink it isn't possible to bind Shift-Tab unfortunately, but as you can see above this has been been fixed and will be available soon (it is already available in the Dropbox builds).

I have tried these configs:
"\t": menu-complete
"\e`Z": menu-complete-backward

forward works ok, but not backward.

I have also tried \e[Z, \e\t, ^[[Z for backward and it didn't work neither.

clink 0.4.4, Win8 x64

[mridgers]

The Shift-Tab fix support isn't in 0.4.4, so that is why backwards didn't work for you. I really need to prepare an update! In the mean time you can try a version from here.

great. thank you!

ps
why not to put dev build as pre-release (in releases)?

No real reason really. I was using Dropbox when Clink lived on Google Code and it's all conveniently automated. I've not looked into migrating it over use what Github provides.

This file has been renamed (I believe), and the contents are different -- much more readable, but unfortunately it makes this answer not work. I can't seem to find a solution online for this on 1.6.0, which surprised me. Any ideas?

Probably worth trying the new repo: #579
