The screencast in the README was done in a hurry after next to no planning and probably fails to convey some of the important features of bash-complete-partial-path.
This issue is a place to discuss, plan and submit a better screencast.
Completion of special characters with opened quotes:
'
"
Possible enhancements
Resolving ambiguity in the middle of path
All the samples in current screencast differ only in the last element of the path. Perhaps a better example would be the one with ambiguity in the middle, like /u/s/c -> /usr/share/cygwin, /usr/ssl/cert.pem, /usr/ssl/certs
Side-by-side comparison with traditional completion
It would be good to have an example that shows how many keystrokes can be saved with the enhanced path completion, e.g. with something like /usr/share/perl5/core_perl: it would take a lot of interim tabbing with default completion and only one tab after /u/s/p/core with this project.
How you can help
Suggest other illustrative examples that might attract users previously unfamiliar with such completion
Suggest a whole new outline for a better screencast
Comment on existing outline and suggestions
Record a better screencast with or without discussing the outline first (some tips to get started, I also recommend -w 0.5 or -w 0.4).
The plan is to gather some feedback and to record a replacement screencast for the README. I can do the recording myself if no one else volunteers, I just need a better outline.
