API for setting command_list for tab-completion

[jcubic]

Yes, good to have those. I think that proper behavior should be: if you put initial list of commands and pass object as first argument then it shouldn't expand initial values, but should exand values after first argument so it will act the same as in bash when you can expand filenames or makefile rules. And the value of command list could be a function too, so completion will be dynamic and the values could be taken from ajax call. And I aslo must add completion into json-rpc call. I improve my json-rpc library (and added JS part), and put it into own repo I should use it in terminal.

For my particular use case I do not want completion of arguments, I want completion of commands.

Eventually it would be nice to be able to supply a custom completion function, I suppose, but I'm not interested in providing a patch for that at this time. ;)

I just post what other things should be done here, and that your simple
solution is not enough and I will need to write it. I don't expect that
you do this if you already have what you want.

Is there any plan of supporting bash like tab-completion in near future?

[jcubic]

Yes, there will be, right now it's like in bash but there is no API for it, it's only for object as first argument (I need to change JSON-RPC library and use completion for RPC too). You can check how Dhruv Matani use tilda with tab completion on his site http://dhruvbird.com/ he did it before I implement it, you can also check the source code - line 2194 (it's only few lines of code) to see how object completion is implemented, and you can overwrite TAB key on keydown and do your own completion (you will also need to copy this if statement - line 2178 and tab_count need to be defined ousite keydown function - everything in the same keydown handler)

I will add this when I find some free time.

I decide to use one callback function in main options and in push command in this commit ef84a7c

completion: function(term, string, callback) {
    callback(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);
}
