- I also think it is often confusing, because if the directory contains sub-directories the code path is not taken (which often happen in my use cases) - + we have Alt + / About "off by default": Should the behavior be activated on a per-completion basis (each command can choose whether or not a catch-all fallback should happen if no matching file is found) ? (A pdf viewer probably won't choose to fallback on "any" file, but mplayer and some others may benefit from this) (but it may easily become a heavy code portion) Raph _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
