Shell Completions for GRASS

This version supports:

1. bash, version >2.04, preferably 2.05b
2. tcsh

To try bash completions in GRASS:

1. Download this archive
2. Unpack it into some directory and cd into newly created directory called 'complete'
3. Start GRASS if you have not yet done so
4. To initialize completions do:
• for bash: . bash/Init.sh
• for tcsh: source tcsh/Init.sh
5. You will se a short message on what keys to use.
6. Read the README file on how to use and how it works
7. The main oddity now is that bash automatically adds a space after a completion. So if you complete on an argument name such as rast=, you need to press backspace to continue completion with the name of raster. This problem is going to be solved in bash version 2.05b and there is nothing much to do about it now.

Files currently available for download:

• grass-complete.tar.gz
• README

After using it for a while let me know:

1. whether it works or not on you computer
2. whether it works right
3. any other comments and suggestions you deem appropriate
