Look in /etc/bash_completion.d folder for an "ls" file.  If there is 
one, then move it somewhere else and open a new console to test your 
auto-completion.  As far as I can tell, Bash auto-completion hasn't changed.


\ disappeared?  can you be more specific?  does \ key not work on your 
keyboard??  \ is still how you escape characters (like spaces) in the 
command line.  That hasn't changed.  As others have said, you can use " 
" to escape spaces.  But you still need a working \ sometimes, (such as, 
if you need to escape a " in a file name)
