Resolving network names in command line

Post by blabulabul »

Is it possible to turn off resolving DN in command line? Sometimes it hangs for a long time while typing something like "\\abcd\...".

Not exactly what you ask for, but you can turn AutoComplete off completely (pun intended) in Command Line settings (via the Options menu).

Yes, disabling AutoComplete will cause disable resolving DN too, but I don't want to disable AutoComplete.

You can try writing to the command line "cd \\something\boo" and while writing Far will try to resolve "something" as network name, so writing backslash before "boo" will freeze for a few second.

You can start autocomplete manually via Ctrl+Space even if Cmdline Autocomplete disabled.

blabulabul, you totally have not to turn off auto-complete completely.
Your just make this config:

Code: Select all

Cmdline.AutoComplete                      │boolean│true
Dialog.AutoComplete                       │boolean│true
Interface.Completion.Append               │boolean│false
Interface.Completion.ModalList            │boolean│false
Interface.Completion.ShowList             │boolean│true
Interface.Completion.UseEnvironment       │3-state│true
Interface.Completion.UseFilesystem        │3-state│OTHER
Interface.Completion.UseHistory           │3-state│true
Interface.Completion.UsePath              │3-state│true
See OTHER value for "Interface.Completion.UseFilesystem",
it will make the difference you need (being stuck on network paths),
while not affecting other stuff.
And you still also may use Ctrl+space to explicitly call all the auto-complete you may need
