The new TabExpansion feature...

One thing I would like to be the default way to do tab completion would be that instead of the cmd functionality of displaying the results in a cirular buffer one at a time would be to list all of the possibles in a list like in the bash shell. Even though I'm more of a Windows user than *nix user the bash way for tab completion is more productive for me personally to work with.

It should be possible to do this in this environment. The tab completion function could display a list, then return only the item selected. The circular buffer is only used if more than one item is returned.
It's not the default behaviour, but at least it's possible...

Bruce,

The current release does not seem to support not using the circular buffer. Or rather, if you return a single item, pressing tab again does not result in your function getting called again. Will this be supported in the future?
