Remove trailing ".vcf" on tab completion (at least in the shell)

[axelGschaider]

I don't know the complete philosophy behind it but the tab completion feature of ppl for entry IDs (i.e. "alice" and "bob" in your quickstart example) gives me the id plus a trailing ".vcf" that I have to remove manually. I guess the tab completion would really shine if the ".vcf" was removed.

ok this is probably due to be closed. What I mistook for a tab completion feature of ppl (like some shells autocompleting make targets) was just the vcf files in my home directory (where didn't expect them). Funny this also works in the shell. Now that I created a .pplconfig pointing to the contacts folder and removed the vcf files from my home directory the "feature" is gone. Pitty.

Mmmm, I would actually really like to get that kind of tab completion in place at some point. I've looked into how to do it a few times already, but when it took longer than half an hour for an approach to materialise I decided to leave it for later and get back on with the task of implementing the core functionality.

I'd definitely like to have this functionality in place one day though.

nice to hear. But very understandable, that its implementation is delayed . . .
