Thanks for the thorough answer! If I add "shopt -s extglob" your code is working.
The question is how to add slashes after directory names and not file names. If I remove "-o filenames" and add "compopt -o nospace" I still can use "compgen -f "$cur" " but it does not add slashes. And the completions are not broken at "/" (if I insert it manually) such that I get a completion list with "a/b/c" instead of just "c" when I try to complete "a/b".. Do I have to add a slash to $COMP_WORDBREAKS variable? There is a post a stackoverflow : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10528695/how-to-reset-comp-wordbreaks-without-effecting-other-completion-script It refers to a function "_get_comp_words_by_ref" .. where is this function documented? I searched the bash manual, http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html but it is not mentioned there..
