Hi y’all,

I’m experimenting with Readline config (generating completions, setting up keybindings, etc.) for CL REPLs. It’s working, with a single exception: completions are split over hyphens, e.g. typing mak, I get make and makunboud as the only completions. Even though there’re make-array and make-instance in the completions file. Anyone knows how to allow completing mak to make-array, make-instance and other hyphenated words? Any other gotchas for Lisp-specific Readline setup?

    I started with the infos from https://github.com/elahtrebor/RLWRAP-SBCL-LISP-COMPLETIONS and ended up with

    alias jm='rlwrap -C jm -i -q'\''"'\'' -b '\''\(\)'\'' -f /mnt/c/robert/jmurmel/murmel.completions -f /mnt/c/robert/jmurmel/mlib.completions java -ea -jar /mnt/c/robert/jmurmel/lambda/target/jmurmel.jar --libdir /mnt/c/robert/jmurmel/samples.mlib'

    for running my own Lisp on debian (actually Windows10/wsl/debian). If I enter (remove and hit TAB three times then rlwrap will show me remove and remove-if so maybe that’ll help you.

      Right, I should’ve looked it up on CLiki 😅Thanks for these references, you’ve helped a lot 🖤

      Right, thanks for the gist!

      I’m not yet using cl-repl because I want to have distinct tools composed to a usable whole or at least try to do that before surrendering to complete setups like cl-repl. But thanks for the recommendation anyway!
