Hey,
I'm an old old Redhat user, so I'm used to how they setup bash. Two things
I'd like to change about Kubuntu's bash settings:
1)
Assume a symlink to a directory named 'my_dir'.
'my_d<tab>' results in 'my_dir', then a second tab actually changes it
to 'my_dir/'. I'd like 'my_d<tab>' to directly result in 'my_dir/'.
2)
Assume a file dir1/dir2/file1 that I want to commit in cvs.
'cvs commit di<tab>' results in 'cvs commit dir1 '. Notice the trailing
space. That is completely useless, because now I have to backspace and
manually type a slash to be able to continue tab completing to my target
file.
Any ideas? #2 is extremely annoying and what I would consider completely
broken tab completion.
Thanks very much for the help.
