Hi,

that's what I often do, too. In case of Ubuntu I add Ubuntu to the
google search.

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man1/bash.1.html

It provides tabs to switch between most releases that aren't EOL and
even one that is EOL, just 14.04 and 16.04 are missing, both are end of
standard support, not EOL.

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man7/bash-builtins.7.html

What doesn't work are

complete -o nospace -D cp
complete -D -o nospace cp
complete -o nospace cp

and a few other I tested.

Regards,
Ralf
