Windows: Path autocompletion fails in raw strings

[eugenesvk]

I have two test paths: C:\App\x\a\inA C:\App\x\b\inB

When I Tab after C:\App\x\, I get both a\ and \b suggested When I Tab after r"C:\App\x\, my path changes to \\ and I get no suggestions (empty box), the second Tab reverts path to r"C:\App\x\, but the suggestion box is still empty

Expected Behavior

Autocomplete within raw strings (needed for paths with spaces) works the same as without them

Is this issue still open?

It’s still open

AFAIK Python on Windows (& cmd as a matter of fact) do accept the / forward slash for completions (Cmd works ,but autocomplete in cmd doesn’t)

PowerShell goes a step further- it automatically converts all forward slashes into backward slashes - Xonsh can take cues from this …

Perhaps there is a different way to do this on the MSYS/Cygwin builds?
