Although I use TeX, I have used the extensions .toc, .idx, and .log for various text files in the past (and still use .log a lot); they're obvious mnemonics and the 8.3 habit is hard to break :-). A few minutes' reflection suggests that the immediate reaction---a package, eg, AUC-TeX, should do it[1]---isn't going to work very well. However what could be done easily enough (I think) is to create a Custom "Variables That There Is No Consensus Default For" group. For this kind of variable, if you wanted to add TeX extensions to the ignored extensions, you would add a checkbox widget to its Custom widget list. For efficiency, we probably would want some kind of filter to weed out duplicates (I bet lots of applications produce ignorable .toc, .log, and .idx files, for example). Footnotes: [1] This _would_ work for me, since I want the TeX extensions in `completion-ignored-extensions' on a buffer-local basis; what doesn't work is defaulting to that for people who haven't loaded a TeX package yet. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
