Hello,

I'd like to do a simple autocomplete, where a string (e.g. #doc) gets expanded instantly into '/home/username/documents' or somesuch

I've been searching online for a long time on how to do this, but couldn't find any information.
Would someone be so kind as to suggest a reference or provide the code snippet?

Thank you,
Mats


doc=/home/username/documents
$doc<tab>
Is not what you want?

you can also do something like
bindkey -s '^X^D' /home/username/documents
and the string will be inserted if you press ctrl-x ctrl-d
