toggle_short.lua

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Usage:
--
-- Adds a command to toggle the word under the cursor between long and short
-- path names.  By default it's bound to Ctrl-Alt-A, unless something else is
-- already bound to Ctrl-Alt-A.
--
-- Press Ctrl-Alt-A to change a long path name into a short path name (8.3 names
-- with tildes) or vice versa.
--
-- Customize key bindings:
--
--      To bind different keys, add a key bindings for the appropriate commands
--      to your .inputrc file.  For information on customizing key bindings see
--      https://chrisant996.github.io/clink/clink.html#customizing-key-bindings
--
--      "luafunc:toggle_short_path"
--              Toggle the word under the cursor between long and short path
--              names.
