autocomplete (or tab complete) macro names? #97

Open uvtc opened 2 years ago

uvtc commented 2 years ago

I like to name my macros with long names, like delete-trailing-whitespace or select-para.

If I bind them to a keyboard shortcut, everything works fine (like select-para), but if they're only used occasionally (like delete-trailing-whitespace), and so not bound to a keyboard shortcut, they are a pain to type out in full (after the ^k). I'd rather not rename my macros to shorter names, since that would make them harder to remember what they do. Incidentally, some short macro names could conflict with the short name of a command.

Would ne be able to do tab-completion on long macro names (at least, for the macros stored in ~/.ne)?
