[Bug 890913] Re: Typing prg $HOME/tab expands to prg \$HOME/
$HOME is a good example as a testcase, but a terrible example of it actually being a problem, because ~/file.txt is easier to type anyway. $OLDPWD is more annoying. I think progcomp used to expand the variable on your cmdline, and then of course completion just worked normally. I think that expansion was a bug, and now we're exposed to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890913 Title: Typing prg $HOME/tab expands to prg \$HOME/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/890913/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 890913] Re: Typing prg $HOME/tab expands to prg \$HOME/
This is a REGRESSION. It used to expand $variable to its value rather than generating \$variable So, for example, if file.txt exists in $HOME, typing ls $HOME/filtab used to generate ls /home/user/file.txt but now gives you ls \$HOME/file.txt which is useless. Either it should be fixed to not generate the backslash, or else the changes reverted so the old way works (i.e. replacing $variable with its value) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890913 Title: Typing prg $HOME/tab expands to prg \$HOME/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/890913/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
