# Autocompletion
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Make Tab autocompletion case-insensitive (cd ~/dow<Tab> => cd ~/Downloads/).
set completion-ignore-case on

# When autocompleting symlinks to directories, immediately add a trailing "/".
set mark-symlinked-directories on

# Do not expand "~" to the home directory when completing. (The actual value
# passed on to the command still is expanded, though. Which is good.) "Off" is
# the default value, but some servers override this, so I override the override.
set expand-tilde off

# Perform partial completion on the first Tab press, and
# only start cycling full results on the second Tab press.

set menu-complete-display-prefix on

# Do not autocomplete hidden files ("dot files") unless the pattern explicitly
# begins with a dot.
set match-hidden-files off

# Show all autocomplete results at once.
set page-completions off

# If there are more than 200 possible completions for a word, ask to show them
# all.
set completion-query-items 200

# Immediately show all possible completions.
set show-all-if-ambiguous on

# Show extra file information when completing, like ls -F does.
set visible-stats on

# Be more intelligent when autocompleting by also looking at the text after
# the cursor. For example, when the current line is "cd ~/src/mozil", and
# the cursor is on the "z", pressing Tab will not autocomplete it to "cd
# ~/src/mozillail", but to "cd ~/src/mozilla". (This is supported by the
# Readline used by Bash 4.)
set skip-completed-text on

# Line editing
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Allow UTF-8 input and output, instead of showing them like $'\0123\0456'.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off

# Use Alt/Meta + Delete to delete the preceding word
