Hmmmm, can I suggest something here? I can't remember of the top of my head if JBoss
CLI works like this, and I'm not that the above statement matches my suggestion:
One thing I love of tab completion in zsh (as opposed to bash) is the following: Imagine
that as you say you have both 'file' and 'file2'
The first time I do: f + tab, it will show: file
But if I click tab again, so: f + tab + tab, it will give me: file2
If there was a file3, doing: f + tab + tab + tab will give me: file3
…etc
IIRC, with bash, you had to actually type 2 to be to get to file2.
Does people find zsh style tab completion more useful too?
Actually, let me be even more precise here:
more + f + tab:
[g@:~/Varia]% more file
more + f + tab + tab:
[g@:~/Varia]% more file
file file2 file3
more + f + tab + tab + tab:
[g@:~/Varia]% more file2
file file2 file3
more + f + tab + tab + tab + tab:
[g@:~/Varia]% more file3
file file2 file3
Essentially, you don't need to type '2' or '3'…etc.
There are some other goodies, such as '*' extension:
more + file + *:
[g@:~/Varia]% more file*
If after * you know do tab, if expands into:
[g@:~/Varia]% more file file2 file3
There are more goodies, as explained in http://www.jukie.net/bart/blog/zsh-tab-completion,
but, IMO, the two are above are far superior than bash.
Others might have other opinions...
