Emacs has that, too. There are protections in that case, though. See: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sa... Probably going to add similar protections here? Basically, I'd assume if it is your first time visiting a file, macros won't be expanded during autocompletion. | ||||||||

I dunno. I can see why this functionality might be useful, but I kinda think distros should disable it by default/make it whitelist-only. I think the implications are really unexpected for “new” users (where “new” could be pretty generously defined, I mean, I know a couple people who use vim IRL, I think they would not expect this… it is the sort of thing you know about if you are somebody who goes online to talk about text editors I think). And these are also the sort of users who are used to seeing shebangs and other line noise at the top of files, not understanding it, and ignoring it. I think we’re only being protected by the fact that spreading a virus though command-line text editors is… going to result in not a ton of hits. | ||||||||
