ksh Auto-Completion PuTTY Configuration
0
I'm having a bit of a problem configuring my PuTTY client to work with the auto-completion feature in the ksh shell.
I do a listing on the root with the directories /home and /homeroot and it returns the directories in a list just fine. I can't select it, though, by hitting X = (where X is the number).
/home/nitrodist>ls /h #hits esc + =
1) home/
2) homeroot/
#hits 2 + = for the 'homeroot' dir
1) home/
2) homeroot/
#hits just the '=' key.
1) home/
2) homeroot/
Any ideas? I've su -'d to another user who can actually do it with their PuTTY session and I can't do it there, which makes me think it's a PuTTY configuration issue. This is running on a ksh93 shell on HP-UX, if that makes any difference.
Here's my ksh config:
/home/campbelm>set -o
Current option settings
allexport off
bgnice on
emacs off
errexit off
gmacs off
ignoreeof off
interactive on
keyword off
markdirs off
monitor on
noexec off
noclobber off
noglob off
nolog off
notify off
nounset off
privileged off
restricted off
trackall off
verbose off
vi on
viraw on
xtrace off
/home/campbelm>

Already tried the above line before and the second line was my gut instinct when I first started usingksh. Sorry, not at work until tomorrow to definitely test.

OK, just tried those commands and it definitely doesn't work.

@Nitrodist: The keystrokes I showed are for emacs mode. I should have asked whether you are using vi mode. What specific version of ksh (echo $KSH_VERSION)? Can you check to make sure the other user is using the same version? Your keystrokes work fine for me through PuTTY to a Linux system running 93t+. Are you using the regular number keys or the numeric keypad (try both)?

>echo ${.sh.version}; Version M-12/28/93eIt's really bizarre. His version is the same. He had ignoreeof set toonin one case and it worked, and then ignoreeof set tooffin another case which gave behavior similar to mine. So I set it toonbut it didn't work. My numpad doesn't feature an equals key that works.

Well, it looks like there is a version difference between the AIX and HP-UX servers that we were testing it on. VersionEdoesn't work at all but versionTdoes. Also, my shell had been set tokshinstead ofksh93, leading to much more confusion.
