What were you trying to do?
Do completion on a filename with a '%' in it.
What's wrong:
It seems to 1) ignore % signs on the command line when trying to
complete a filename and 2) ignores files that have % signs in the
name. All this is only based on one data point, however:
<bill-the-cat> ~% ls
%backup%~ bitmap/ elisp/ scripts/ text/ world/
Mail/ classes/ mips/ sipbsrc/ uan/ xinit/
News/ decmips/ rt/ src/ vax/
Private/ decmipsbin/ rtbin/ tex/ vaxbin/
<bill-the-cat> ~% cat %bitmap
^^^
I hit the completion character (tab) after the "%b" on the command
line, and got %bitmap (which doesn't exist) instead of %backup%~.
Just in case it matters, here is my .tcshrc file:
<bill-the-cat> ~% cat .tcshrc
set_keymap base \ complete
(For those of you without magic eyes, that's a tab after the \.)
What should have happened:
Completetion should deal with % signs correctly.
