Thanks for asking me this question. In order to answer you, I tried some experiments and they revealed something I wouldn't have guessed. I wanted to attach a screenshot indicating that even cd completion was becoming a problem but when I tried it, it worked. So I did some more experiments and found the following. a. If I try to do completion within the cygwin installation, that works fine. So for example, I can do cd /usr/bin/ or cd ~/path and this works fine. b. If I try to do this outside the cygwin, for example I try to do cd /c/Users/vimishra/, it won't work. I have remapped cygdrive to /. It won't even complete /c/Users/. c. If I comment the cygdrive remapping in /etc/fstab, so that the cygdrive prefix becomes /cygdrive again, I _dont'_ get the problem. The completion works everywhere. I had never thought that this could have affected completion - but obviously it does. d. If I change the cygdrive to something else, like /drive - the completion is still working. So I guess the problem statement changes from - completion not working to completion not working when remapping cygdrive to /. It works in the other cases. I can live with this if I have to, but would be interesting to find out what could be going wrong in this case. Let me know in case there are other experiments, I can try.
