One of the most useful features in tcsh is the ability to use
programmable completion. For example, telling the shell that the command
'cd' should only be completed with directory names. Does anyone know if
Bash has such a feature and, if not, are there any plans on implementing
such?
If this question should be sent to a different group, feel free to let
me know.
Thanks for any help,
Robert Seeger

No it doesn't and yes there are. From the bash-2.02 FAQ:Quote:> One of the most useful features in tcsh is the ability to use

39) What's coming in future versions?
These are features I plan to include in a future version of bash.
a bash de* (a minimally-tested version is included with bash-2.02)
Programmable completion a la zsh
I'm looking forward to this, as its completions are the only reason I
still use a shell with csh syntax.

Why not use the zsh instead? It's much better than the tcsh (completion-
and otherwise) and claims to be compatible with ksh/sh.

1. Bash programmable completion: a tutorial
Programmable completion is a useful feature present in Bash (and other
shells). It allows you to use contextual information to greatly extend
the range of situations in which you can use completion (i.e. get Bash
to fill in arguments for you when you hit Tab). This can significantly
speed up your work.
The Bash documentation on this feature is not terribly easy to read,
so a tutorial may be helpful to many. There's one now available at
http://www.captaincrumb.com/docs/computing/bash/progcomp/
