[Feature Request]: command completion #1167

Closed mralusw closed 4 months ago

mralusw commented 4 months ago

What feature would you like to see?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but is :<TAB> in the command line suppose to invoke filename completion, right from the start? I was about to try and see which settings the :set command accepts using <TAB>, but I couldn't get that far.

Yes, tab in command mode always triggers filename completion. There's no distinction on previous characters. There's some plugins allowing more complicated completion, though.
