Filename completion gives error COMP_POINT: substring expression < 0

2022-10-31 Thread David Wright
I hit a snag in filename completion that I don't see reported in Debian's BTS, but that upstream apparently fixed last year: https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/509 AFAICT bookworm contains the fix, which I have applied to all my systems (original-find is bullseye's):

2022-06-25 Thread Matt Roberds
a-2022-03.txt and I wanted to save a new file in that directory, I could click the "save as" menu option in the program, click in the file name box, type d a t , hit Tab, and the file name would fill in as far as it could - in this example, it would fill in with "data-2022-0".
