- i've noticed a change in the behavior of completion.
-
- if a filename that i've typed matches a directory exactly and i ask it
- to complete, then it completes and exits, returning the directory name.
- the behavior i got before was that it treated a directory match as a
- non-unique match and asked for confirmation before accepting.
-
- for example, suppose, in being prompted for a filename, i type:
-
- /usr<space>
-
- then it completes and exits with the directory "/usr/" whereas before,
- it would complete to:
-
- /usr/[confirm]
-
- or something like that.
-
- i'm hoping there's a simple variable that i can change or something to
- fix this... i'm used to "lazy typing" mode where i use completion a lot
- to complete/confirm pathnames as i type them and it's very annoying to
- have it exit just because i happened to type a complete directory name.
