Re: TAB-completion and filesystem problem



I think this is a lame 'feature' of tcsh.
If you start your cmdline with 'cp' or 'mv',
it refuses to tab-complete the 2nd argument,
maybe to prevent you from accidently overwriting
a file by forcing you to type the full name.
I wish there was a way to disable this.
There is.  Reading /etc/cshrc.* and especially 'man tcsh' could help.
Arrgh, I hate digging through man pages to fix stuff that was working fine for years. OK, for all those out there having problems with this:
you need to go to /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh and '#' comment out the lines for 'complete mv' and 'complete cp'.
