README
Name
====
autocomplete-ALL-the-things - an urxvt plugin allowing user to easily complete arbitrary text
Installation
------------
Copy the `autocomplete-ALL-the-things` file to the urxvt perl-lib directory
(default: `~/.urxvt/ext/`).
Add the following lines to your `~/.Xresources` (or `~/.Xdefaults`):
```
URxvt.perl-ext-common: ...,autocomplete-ALL-the-things
URxvt.keysym.M-C-slash: perl:aAtt:word-complete
URxvt.keysym.M-question: perl:aAtt:fuzzy-complete
URxvt.keysym.M-quotedbl: perl:aAtt:undo
```
Description
-----------
Completes the currently typed word using the other words visible in the urxvt window.
For example the terminal looks like this:
It was strongly inspired by `dabbrev` feature in GNU Emacs and later by
[skeleton-complete](https://github.com/baohaojun/skeleton-complete) by Bao
Haojun.
Basic usage
-----------
Just press the key bound to `aAtt:complete` (in the example above:
Alt-Ctrl-slash) to complete the word at point. Subsequent uses cycle through
other possible completions.
It is not recommended to bind the completion actions to the
alphanumeric keys. The symbol keys should be preferred.
See the issue #13.
Key bound to `aAtt:undo` (Alt-Shift-quote) undoes the completion.
Additionally, pressing `Escape` undoes the completion too regardless
of this setting.
Advanced usage
--------------
For more advanced completions use `aAtt:fuzzy-word-complete`
(Alt-Shift-slash) and `aAtt:skeleton-complete`. It's behavior is inspired by
[skeleton-complete](https://github.com/baohaojun/skeleton-complete), please see
[its readme](http://baohaojun.github.io/skeleton-complete.html) for a more
detailed explanation.
Available functions
-------------------
* `aAtt:word-complete` -- classical prefix-based completion for words
* `aAtt:WORD-complete` -- completion for WORDS (in the Vim meaning)
* `aAtt:fuzzy-word-complete` -- fuzzy completion for words
* `aAtt:fuzzy-WORD-complete` -- fuzzy completion for WORDS
* `aAtt:fuzzy-complete` -- fuzzy completion for arbitrary strings
* `aAtt:suffix-complete` -- fuzzy completion for suffixes, disrespecting
prefixes of both completion and given strings
* `aAtt:surround-complete` -- fuzzy completion for surrounded by quotes or
braces strings, excluding surrounding.
* `aAtt:undo` -- undo the completion (must be used right after a completion)
