Subject: how to remove buffers created during command completion from an emacs shell
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
Hello
Can someone please help with the following problem. I do M-x shell to enter a shell. Then if I type a command and press TAB, a buffer is created for command completion. Now if I do not click on an entry in that buffer, the buffer continues to stay there. I have to do C-x 0 to get it removed. Is there a way for it to automatically get removed if I fill the command myself and press ENTER or is there a way for me to select an entry without using a mouse?

Add one more character to the incomplete command and then press TAB to complete. The *Completions* window will disappear. When reaching the end of a word and you don't need a longer completed word you can type SPACE and the *Completions* window will disappear as well.

Here is how you can circumvent that simply:

;; Reduce open buffer list: first the completion buffer
(add-hook 'minibuffer-exit-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (let ((buffer "*Completions*"))
               (and (get-buffer buffer)
                    (kill-buffer buffer)
                    (message "Killing buffer %s" buffer)))))

Which version of Emacs are you using?
AFAIK this problem is fixed in Emacs-24.
