tab completion broken for command mode about vimux HOT 6 CLOSED

This would be a great feature to implement. I'll take a look at how difficult it would be to do.

I'm rather interested in this, but my research on how this could be accomplished has been... disappointing.

The problem is that the vim input function only accepts one type of command completion, and I think ideally we'd like two - what vim refers to as "shellcmd" and "file" - in order to closely simulate shell-like completion.

From what I can tell, doing custom completions like this involve having to shell out to whatever your shell is, which might get hairy for support bash/zsh/csh/fish/whatever-the-kids-are-using-these-days.

Would it be reasonable to just pick one of "shellcmd" or "file" as a completion type and live with that? I'd think "file" makes the most sense, as filenames more often require completion than commands.

thanks for checking it out!

file completion is what I was looking for originally and is probably 90% of what I would want completed anyway.

I opened a PR to add file completion to VimuxPromptCommand. You can find it here: #42

Pretty simple change if you want to test it out, @patrickkettner.

The pull request mentioned was closed. It was close to what we want but still a bit off to pull in. Hopefully we can figure out a better solution to this problem.

I'm going to close this for now because I'm not sure this will be possible to implement.
