>From the man page: nospace Tell readline not to append a space (the default) to words completed at the end of the line This is inaccurate. The option also turns off quoting of whitespace in completed words which is undocumented and probably undesirable as it makes completing strings with spaces in them quite problematic. To complete such string one has to prefix the start of the word with a doublequote in advance, the completion fails otherwise. Adding "\ " at the end of the word is not recognized as space and unambiguous matches with a space in them are completed without the backslash. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (295, 'experimental'), (290, 'stable-i386'), (280, 'testing-i386'), (270, 'unstable-i386'), (150, 'experimental-i386'), (70, 'oldstable-i386'), (70, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5lenny5 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: pn bash-completion <none> (no description available) Versions of packages bash suggests: ii bash-doc 3.2-4 Documentation and examples for the -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
