put this in /etc/inputrc
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you have this in your /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc, you will no longer
# have to hit the <Tab> key twice to produce a list of all possible
completions.
# A single <Tab>  will suffice.
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
- -------------------------------------------------------------------


other usefull settings
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
# Adding this to your /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc will result in a character
# being appended to any file-names returned by completion, in much the same
# way as ls -F works.
set visible-stats on

# Completed names which are symbolic links to
# directories have a slash appended.
set mark-symlinked-directories on
- -------------------------------------------------------------------



I also really like this one a lot:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
