Re: Bash still wants to beep during tab completion

According to Eric Lilja on 3/19/2007 6:43 AM:
Hello, I've changed my .inputrc to:

  # or, don't beep at me - show me
  set bell-style visible


But bash still beeps (one time) if I do for example: $ cd $ cd <tab> <-- Beeps here I performed source .inputrc but got some error messages so I restarted bash completely instead. What am I missing? cygcheck.out attached

Thanks for the report, and I'm still investigating. But it appears you are using cmd.com based on $TERM=cygwin. And in the readline source code, even if visible bells are requested, readline falls back on an audible bell if it can't figure out how to do a visible alert on your terminal. Therefore, my guess is that the cygwin termcap/terminfo entry lacks whatever string causes a visible bell (and more likely, the cygwin tty code lacks support for visible alerts altogether).

Thanks for the reply. I will use set-bell-style none for now. I'm using TCI (like it better than rxvt), hope it's not causing any additional problems.
