Mush is a shell, like tcsh, so when mush is running, tcsh is politely waiting for mush to be finished using your terminal. So your tcsh key bindings don't work. } I can use CONTROL-D to get the list of possible completions } of that command or filenames. I want to use the tab key so } that it will save me the trouble of typing the entire filename. } How do I do this ? The default completion character is escape, but you can change it to tab with: set complete = '\t\CD' # \t == tab, \CD == ctrl-D If you set complete like this: set complete = '\t\t' Then when you press tab, if the completion is unique, the name will be filled in, but if the completion matches a list of file names, the list will be displayed automatically (as if you had typed ctrl-D). -- Bart Schaefer schaefer@zigzag.z-code.com Z-Code Software Corp. schaefer@z-code.com
