It adds three new features: 1. EXECIGNORE EXECIGNORE is a colon-separated list of glob patterns. If a file's full path matches one of these, it is never considered executable for completion purposes. EXECIGNORE=*.dll is a good start. 2. completion_strip_exe completion_strip_exe is a new shell option. When enabled, bash tries to use the short name of a program instead of its longer ".-exe"-suffixed one. With this on, pin completes to "ping". 3. dg-dwim (C-x C-w) This is a new readline command that toggles the shell word before point between Unix and Windows path syntax, with a heuristic to detect unquoted Windows paths. Try typing "notepad ~/.profile", then hit C-x C-w The command line will be changed to notepad 'C:\Users\username\conf\dot-profile' If you hit C-x C-w again, you'll see notepad '/c/Users/dancol/.profile' It also works with glob patterns; try it out. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
