Subject: bash: mutt folder completion broken

Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 22:52:08 -0700

Package: bash
Version: 3.2-4
Severity: normal


Tab-completion of mutt mailboxes by using a = prefix doesn't properly
complete in the mutt-configured folder.

For instance, if a user's mutt folder is specified to be ~/mail, and
they type "mutt -f =d<tab>" in bash, the expected behavior is to
complete for files using the string "~/mail/d".

Instead, the = is chopped off because it is set as one of the
COMP_WORDBREAKS (I'm not sure where this is set), and so the completion
function sets $cur to "d", and never executes the special code block
corresponding to $cur starting with =.

The fix for this is to set $cur to `_get_cword =`, since _get_cword
accepts as arguments tokens to remove from COMP_WORDBREAKS.  This
ignores =, $cur gets set to "=d", and the completion is done using the
string "~/mail/d".

In the newest version of bash-completion in unstable (20080617.3), it's
now line 4898 that should be changed from:

  cur=`_get_cword`

to

  cur=`_get_cword =`

Thanks,
Jakob

This was actually supposed to be added to _muttfiledir, but after the
newest release with changes to _get_cword, the mutt completion works
fine (at least for me) without this change at all, even after removing
your change to _muttaliases.

Feel free to revert it (or move it to _muttfiledir, in case _get_cword
changes again).

Thanks,
Jakob
