Before there was programmable completion, there was simply filename completion. Now we have smart completion, which you can turn off with "complete -r". But that doesn't revert to simple filename completion. It still insists on doing "command completion". That means that if it thinks that a command belongs in a particular position, then it insists on the file being executable or it won't use it for completion.
Unfortunately, bash and I don't always agree on when and what needs to be executable. Is there an option to turn off command completion, but leave filename completion on? _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
