 |
|
anyone know a way that i could change bash completion's behaviour?
esp file associations (heres a few examples:
javac [tab] would only choose from .class files, hence making it easier as the .java is often the same name and in the same dir, which makes tab completion silly
java [tab] would only choose from .java files...
stuff like that, itd be quite nice to have for quicker and more effective use of bash;P |

To my knowledge, this isn't native in Bash. zsh and tcsh both support that kind of customization, but you have to rely on other tools to do so in bash.
Check out:

Hope this helps.

Actually, it is native in bash. Just emerge bash-completion. It's just a script of different file associations. It's worth it alone for me to make "cd [tab]" only bring up directories. |

Okay, to me that means it's not native! 
I didn't know there was something in the treee but I did know that there wasn't already some config file that you could just add a couple lines too...
