Hi All
I am also suffering from the problem of not being able to use bash to
autocomplete script names of scripts that are in my path.
But before this becomes a 'me too' post, i've also noticed something else.
When i do:
S<tab><tab>
I get:
SAMPLES SETVER.EXE SORT.EXE SVUNINST.EXE SendTo
SCANDISK.EXE SIGVERIF.EXE SRS SYS.COM ShellNew
SCANDSKW.EXE SMARTDRV.EXE ST5UNST.EXE SYSBCKUP Start Menu
SCANREG.EXE SNDREC32.EXE START.EXE SYSMON.EXE
SCANREGW.EXE SNDVOL32.EXE SUBST.EXE SYSTEM
SETDEBUG.EXE SOL.EXE SULFNBK.EXE SYSTEM32
Now as well as including EXEs which should be there, there are also
subdirectories of folders that are in my path.
The above command was executed from $HOME. But, for example, SendTo and
Start Menu are both subdirectories of /c/WINDOWS. And SRS is a subdirectory
of my /c/WORK/RELEASE/LIB
Should bash be doing this? I tried the same on a linux box (which was
running an older verison of bash) and it doesn't.
I can't see any benifit of autocompleting directory names before a command
has first been entered. (ie. i agree that cd S<tab><tab> should list
sub-directories of the current directory).
