Use 'set -vx<ENTER>' before typing '/cyg<TAB>', so that you can see the full range of any commands being executed while computing the completion. If any one of them takes particularly long, that would be useful to know. Also, it may just be an issue of BLODA or windows itself taking a long time to enumerate all files in a large directory. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
