description |
With bash-completion 2.1 the default for "unknown" commands seems to be to add a space after a string.
Thus path name completion cannot be performed properly.
Various users have complained about this for specific commands.
The reason behind bash-completion is to make life easier.
So the default should always be the more ergonomic solution.
In most cases the added space requires a backspace, a '/' and another tab press.
This is awkward and much worse than manually entering space when necessary.
So please change the default for pathname completion back to the behaviour of bash_completion 1.3. |
With bash-completion 2.1, some users are seeing broken completion for directories, with a space being added at the end, requiring a [BACKSPACE]/[TAB].
Testcase copied from bug 1000470, which I'm closing because it was probably from acroread.sh, which is now blacklisted.
Extra space scenario:
find /op<TAB> ==> find /opt<Space>
Backslash scenario:
cd ~
mkdir -p test\ 1/test
find test\ 1/t<TAB>
find test 1/test
find: `test': No such file or directory
find: `1/test': No such file or directory
This bug can get closed when we find out what other old files get left in /etc/bash_completion.d and cause problems, so we can blacklist them, too. |
