Interesting. I might un-install bash-completion. But I will first experiment. According to /usr/share/doc/bash-completion/README, I can use M-/ to force completion. For the "M", I unsuccessfully experimented with the Windows key, Alt, and Ctl. Then I tried to seek more details. The source for info about M-/ is described as the man page. However, it's not clear to me how to invoke the man page for bash-completion. The man page for bash should be for the bash-native completion. The cygwin package search doesn't show much for documentation besides /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash-completion.README. Can anyone suggest how the bash-completion man page is acccessed, and what M-/ means? Thanks. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
