What Hacker News says
2 sourcesReplying to everything:
- Good catch on the subdirectories within a git repository. Currently, we'll open the file you end up on with $EDITOR, which isn't necessarily correct relative to your cwd. I'll fix that.
- Re: curses cleaning up after itself, I haven't seen that in xterm or terminator. Are you sure that's completeme's fault? Perhaps it's iTerm or emacs? I've never used iTerm and don't have access to a Mac. It could have something to do with this function not getting called: https://github.com/mattspitz/completeme/blob/80328799a000180...
- I originally had this writing to your bash history but removed it because it wasn't really executed by the user. This may end up being obviated by: https://github.com/mattspitz/completeme/pull/1 I'd like to have Return open your editor (with history) and something else (Tab?) dump back in

to your prompt.
- I don't know what could cause your misbehavior in emacs with Ctrl+G. I'm using 24.3.1 and can't reproduce it.
