[Bug 53887] Re: [patch] Command completion should be enhanced

[Sami Pietila]

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.

Title:
  [patch] Command completion should be enhanced

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When bash has more than one completion alternatives, it prints the
  list of possible completions. If user presses the TAB again, the list
  is showed again. There should be a completion mode which
  browses/suggests a item from the completion list instead of showing
  the list again. This would be like a mixture of the default completion
  mode and the menu-complete.
