Re: prepopulate BUFFER

[Pier Paolo Grassi <pierpaolog@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, thanks, I already use that, I even have a widget that rebinds enter so I can switch it temporarily to accept-and-hold.

This use case is a bit different, since I return always to the original (incomplete) version of the command line, and I have only to complete it instead of deleting what I don't need anymore and fill the blanks

Perhaps you would like to know about the accept-and-hold widget (bound
to alt-a by default)?
