Hi!!!

Well, it’s really noticeable the similarities between alot and vim =D! And there’s something about tab completion inside vim which I find awesome, and would be nice if there was something like that in alot too!

As for now when one hits TAB while typing a command the prompt starts to cycle between all choices, which is almost the same as vim does… However, in vim, the first time you hit TAB it prints all the choices.

For example, one could start with:

:p

and then it would print the choices:

prompt pyshell

and finally the user could refine like typing ‘y’ and TAB again… or he could be lazy and use TAB until he finds the choice that suits him!

I think this would be specially useful with something like:

:

and then alot talks to you and you are like: “So this is aaaaall I could do!!! *-*”
