I thought autoshowcompl had something to do with the box that showed all
the possible completions, not the kind of completion. It doesn't segfault
on my computer though (i386 freebsd, ion 20061223).

Starting to be :)

I found an old thread on the mailing list about how to do this, and you
said there it would be easy to export region_get_configuration(). I made
a litle script with it and it works nicely i just have a few problems with
how mod_query.query() works (see below).

i couldn't find one, but i haven't tried them all yet :) 


Here is the litle script i made to test loading and saving workspaces, i
can load workspaces as much as i want but i can't seem to get the
query-completer function to work. Any tips on that?

tester={}
local workspaces = ioncore.read_savefile('saved_workspaces') or {}

-- bind this function to a button with WGroupWS context to save the current
-- ws
function tester.save_ws(r)
   ws_def = r:get_configuration(r)
   ws_def["switchto"] = true
   ws_def["bottom_last_close"] = true
   workspaces[ ws_def["name"] ] = ws_def
   ioncore.write_savefile('saved_workspaces', workspaces)
end

function tester.query_load_ws(mplex)
   mod_query.query(mplex, "Load workspace:", "", tester.get_ws, 
                   mod_query.make_completor(complete_saved_ws), "load_ws")
end

local function complete_saved_ws(s)
   ws_list = {}
   for i,d in pairs(workspaces) do
      table.insert(ws_list, i)
   end
   return mod_query.complete_name(s, ws_list)
end

function tester.get_ws(mplex, ws_name)
   WMPlex.attach_new(mplex:screen_of(), workspaces[ws_name])
end
