# Expand bash aliases
# ===================
#
# https://superuser.com/questions/247770/how-to-expand-aliases-inline-in-bash
#
# By using an alias we lose the hability to use shipped bash
# completions. If we have, for example:
#
#   alias ls='ls --color=auto --classify'
#
# When we do
#
#   ls --<Tab><Tab>
#
# we DO NOT get the possible option completions. Therefore, it is
# sometimes useful to expand the alias to the original command so the
# shell completions kick in and we can benefit from this very useful
# feature.
#
# Usage:
#
# 1. Create an alias like
#
#   $ alias dc='docker-compose '
#
# The trailing space in the example is on purpose so after the alias is
# expanded, we get the space to separate the command from the remaining
# arguments.
#
# 2. On the terminal running bash (not sure if it works on other
# shells), type this:
#
#   $ dc Esc e
#
# It then expands to
#
#   $ docker-compose␠
#
# (there is a trailing space after the “e” in “compose”).
#
# 3. Type the rest of the command 😄. For example:
#
#   $ docker-compose Esc e up --build --detach
#
# NOTE: Spaces after the alias are NOT necessary before hitting the key
# combination that expands the alias.
#
# Press ‘Esc e’ or ‘Ctrl-[ e’
#
"\ee": alias-expand-line
#
# Or press ‘Esc Tab’ or ‘Ctrl-[ Tab’.
#
"\e\t": alias-expand-line

##
# When there more than one match, automatically show the available
# completions at point without requiring `Tab Tab'.
#
set show-all-if-ambiguous off

##
# Always insert an item at the command line. Further `Tab' presses cycle
# between other possible completions.
#
# TAB:menu-complete
##

##
# Clear scrollback and redraw current line.

# We can do this, but C-M-l already exists that does the same so I'll
# leave the defaults, which are good enough.
