I'm trying to make my bash environment in 10.3 as much like my tcsh one as possible, but i've become stuck with tilde completion in cd.

In tsch (with the Project Athena setup from /usr/share/tcsh/examples) i can type

• cd ~

hit tab, and get a list of all users. If i just type

• cd

and tab,i get a list of directories only.

In bash, i can setup complete to give either the users list behaviour, or the directories list, but not both (ie cd <tab> gives you directories, cd ~ <tab> gives users). Any smart ideas as to how this can be achieved?

In ~.bashrc I have:
set completion-ignore-case on

Enter ~ and press the Tab key twice. There it is.

Hmm, that just gives you case-insensitive complete, i already have it set in ~/.inputrc. Are you typing 'cd ~' or just '~'?

BTW if you don't like having to press tab twice, you can add

set show-all-if-ambiguous on


I have tilde completion elsewhere, my issue is that i can have cd either complete only directories, or ~users, but not both in context, like tcsh.

I read somewhere, sometime ago, that the maintainer of the fink packaged bash distribution had set it up along similiar lines to the /usr/share/tcsh/examples setup

Whether this is still the case, and whether it actually achieves what you want - I dunno

Maybe this is too easy, but if you want tcsh then just use tcsh?
