file completion on tab always displays list of matches #441

Open darthpale opened 1 year ago

darthpale commented 1 year ago

On fedora 38 (without OMB) when you hit tab for completion of files it will complete it up to the point of ambiguity -- it will not display a list of matching files. If you hit tab a second time it will then display a list of matching files. This is the desired behavior.

OMB on the other hand, always displays list of matching files.
What can I change to disable always displaying matches and only display them on 2nd tab in a row? With the current behavior if there are many matches, the pager is invoked and you have to hit q to quit the pager before being allowed to enter more characters to complete the file name.

The following line specifies the behavior.

You can overwrite the setting by adding the following line in ~/.bashrc after source "$OSH"/oh-my-bash.sh.

bind 'set show-all-if-ambiguous off'
