zsh completion will not work in emacs shell
- by benhsu
I'm learning about the more powerful tab-completion and expansion capabilities of zsh, and they don't seem to work when I run zsh under emacs with M-x shell:
cat $PATH<TAB> expands the tab variable in Terminal, but in shell-mode it just beeps.
I poked around the emacs environment and here's what I found:
TAB (translated from ) runs the command completion-at-point,
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `minibuffer.el'.
It is bound to TAB, .
(completion-at-point)
Perform completion on the text around point. The completion method is
determined by `completion-at-point-functions'.
completion-at-point-functions is a variable defined in `minibuffer.el'.
Its value is (tags-completion-at-point-function)
So I'm surmising I need to add a function to completion-at-point-functions, but which one?
