Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package It would be nice to have something like tab completion in minicli. I take it the tab key itself is unavailable because it has to switch between widgets, but some other easy to reach key or combo could do (say Ctrl-Tab?). Similar to the way bash does it, multiple legal completions could be displayed in the drop down list. I have always regretted that minicli only shows previously entered commands, rather than all possible completions. This approach could allow a compromise with regards to case sensitivity. While I would loath minicli to start commands case insensitively, completion could be case insensitive. Then its possible to complete "KWord" to "kword", or "Quanta+" to "quanta", for example.
And for which directories should it do completion?

For $PATH and for whichever recource it accepts as well, say servicenames and soon-to-come .desktop name entry, if possible. I just realized, though, that using an additional hotkey is completely unecessary, if a drop down list is shown, as you can just move down with the curser keys -- been too focused on the shell. So my wish should have been to include possible completions from the $PATH, servicenames, local absolute paths, etc. in the drop-down list, which is already shown for previously entered commands. Konqueror does this for local paths up to the next directory level in its location bar.

It should become case insensitive like with tree view etc., and show file systems' file/folders (as in konqueror's location). This feature IMHO will make life easier. Especially the Case-Insensitive Drop-Down List and File/Folder in filesystem. for example: if we have a file called "Document.txt" in /tmp i.e., /tmp/Document.txt then typing Alt+F2 then /tmp/d should get /tmp/Document.txt in the drop down list as same as konqi. Observe that it is doing case insensitive and filesystem search. Thanks David Faure for your amazing work!

Could this one http://code.google.com/p/fsrunner/ be added to the list of default runners? It seems it almost perfectly matches what is being requested here?

This seems to have been fixed a long time ago. As far as I am concerned it can be closed. Arr there any objections.
Fixed as far as I am concerned.
