better bash command line completion on Ubuntu
Asked by
Rui Mesquita
How can I alter the default command line beaviour in Ubuntu to include command specific tab auto-complete?
For example, in Knoppix if I write "apt-get install libwin" on the console and then press tab, bash magicly completes the rest of the package name, or shows me the various package names starting with libwine.
This works too for the various command specific options.
At one time (recently) I'm pretty sure I had this feature on a Kubuntu installation, though maybe it was not like that from right after install, I may have installed something from the repositories.
thanks
