           Summary: Dynamic abbrev mode like in emacs
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kvo--kde at seagha.be


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

A dynamic abbrev mode like in emacs would be a very useful addition. ie. using the dabbrev key, a partial string lookup is done in the history buffer.

.. the emacs dynamic abbrev key docs:

M-/ runs `dabbrev-expand'

`dabbrev-expand' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
  -- loaded from "dabbrev"
(dabbrev-expand ARG)

Documentation:
Expand previous word "dynamically".

Expands to the most recent, preceding word for which this is a prefix.
If no suitable preceding word is found, words following point are
considered.  If still no suitable word is found, then look in the
buffers accepted by the function pointed out by variable
`dabbrev-friend-buffer-function'.

A positive prefix argument, N, says to take the Nth backward *distinct*
possibility.  A negative argument says search forward.

If the cursor has not moved from the end of the previous expansion and
no argument is given, replace the previously-made expansion
with the next possible expansion not yet tried.

The variable `dabbrev-backward-only' may be used to limit the
direction of search to backward if set non-nil.
