hi,

when pressing tab twice to list contents of a dir results are not colorized like ls. How to have colorized results with pressing tab twice?

thanks

Tab completion output is managed by your shell. What shell are you using?

zsh can be configured to colorize TAB completion. However, as (unfortunately) for most zsh features this is not enabled by default. You have to call something like
Code:
zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}

(maybe this alone is not sufficient - it might be that you also have to activate some other options to make it work; I have so many activation options concerning completion in my zshrc that I forgot what is what...)
