Hi !

Can anybody please give me any clue how to set on the Auto Complete option (auto complete paths by pressing escape) in unix ?

Thanks!

Pablo.

You can use vi on the command line by executing the commmand:
set -o vi
This can be included in the .bashrc file so that you don't have to type it each time you login. Do a google on vi command line

For autocompleting paths... you can also use <tab> in the bash shell.

Tank you Skotapal.

In fact, I got a new OS installed (sun 5.8), and the autocompleting option (the one that prevents you from typing every time the complete name of the directory you want to go, by pressing escape) doesn't work any more.... I guess it is not a big deal to make it work again (add something in the .cshrc?), but I don't know how to....

For csh it's
set filec
