Cmder: Autocomplete for non-executables not working

Created on 27 May 2015  路  2Comments  路  Source: cmderdev/cmder

The standard cmd.exe allows me to autocomplete and launch any file just by typing its name.
Like for "foobar.txt" just by typing "foo" and hitting tab autocompletes the filename to "foobar.txt" and when I hit enter, it launches the file with default handler. Cmder doesn work like this. It seems to autocomplete only executables and dir names. Could this be changed?

Clink handles the auto-complete for the cmd task. I think you want to append the following to the %CMDER_ROOT%\config\settings file.

# Autocomplete all files and by current folder as well as PATH
exec_match_style = -1

Thanks @Jackbennett! That worked for me.
