Just discovered match-hidden-files, which is "On" by default. Here're my
~/.inputrc file settings now:
set match-hidden-files Off
Don't offer file or directory names beginning with a "." for
tab-completion. If I want to tab-complete a hidden file or
directory, I now have to type the "." then Tab. Much better.
Tab-completion used to offer 156 possibilities in my home directory.
set completion-ignore-case On
Case-insensitive tab-completion. Veeeery occasionally leads to
ambiguity in the tab-completion, but works well most of the time.
set editing-mode vi
Yay, yay! <troll>Best of all, type <Esc>v to edit the current
command-line in a Real Editor.</troll>
