There is now bash 4.3-rc2, which allows show-all-if-ambiguous and menu- complete-display-prefix to be used at the same time.
However, it seems that bash completes directory names with ending / symbol. My original patch completed directories without the / so that user can type / and then push tab to indicate that he/she would like enter the directory and then continue browsing there. With bash 4.3-rc2, I am not sure how to continue browsing into a directory which is shown as an completion. I sent a question to upstream if there is an option to prevent bash from writing / at the end of directory name completions when browsing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53887 Title: [patch] Command completion should be enhanced To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/53887/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
