I had two quick questions; I'm working on moving from tcsh and trying to replicate a bit of functionality I've grown used to.
With 'set autolist=ambiguous' in tcsh, if I'm at an empty prompt and I hit tab, it essentially does an ls on the directory. If I hit tab at an empty prompt in bash, it tries to complete all available commands instead. I've set up these already: bind "set completion-query-items 1000" bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on" bind "set page-completions off" But that doesn't change the behavior of trying to complete commands instead of files at an empty prompt. I'm hoping I can do this with a "complete" command but I'm not sure what that's going to look like. Typically it'd be something like complete -o default -A file <some commands that i want to complete files for> It's the end part that I don't know what to put if I'm just sitting at an empty prompt and hit TAB. Secondly, I prefer bindkey -v in tcsh, or set -o vi (and editing-mode/keymap) in bash. There's a difference though in that if I scroll through history, tcsh defaults to command mode, and bash defaults to insert mode. Not a major problem but I'm wondering if there's something I missed that would get bash to default to command mode so I don't have to re-learn habits.
